May have to fight for relegation

Ho Chi Minh City FC has a certain confidence in the away match against Quang Nam team in round 16 of V-League 2024-2025 because they are on a 3-match unbeaten streak. If they win another victory, the "Red Battleship" will climb to the top half of the rankings.

That confidence was shown in the first half, when Ho Chi Minh City FC created many dangerous opportunities. However, the shots of Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong, Dao Quoc Gia and Joao Pedro were not sharp enough to defeat goalkeeper Nguyen Van Cong.

Ho Chi Minh City Club (red shirt) encountered many difficulties at Tam Ky Stadium.

Dang Van Lam (number 23) is the one who "finished off" Ho Chi Minh City Club.

In the second half, Quang Nam Club suddenly rose up. In the 60th minute, they scored the opening goal after an impressive attack. Van Hiep received the ball from Atshimene with a beautiful backheel in the air, then assisted Hoang Vu Samson to run down and open the score.

Not stopping there, Coach Van Sy Son's students continued to attack. At this time, loopholes began to appear and Quang Nam Club was punished by Ho Chi Minh City. In the 79th minute, after a long ball, Joao Pedro ran down the field at speed, passed Eyenga and scored, equalizing 1-1 for the away team.

However, that was all that Ho Chi Minh City FC could do. In the 93rd and 90+1st minutes, Atshimene and Dang Van Lam scored two consecutive goals, securing a 3-1 victory for Quang Nam FC. With this result, coach Van Sy Son and his team temporarily climbed to 8th place on the rankings with 19 points. Ho Chi Minh City FC also had 19 points but ranked behind their opponents due to a lower goal difference (-8 compared to -3).

Both teams are at risk of relegation after round 16. Ho Chi Minh City may have to fight for relegation.
