Leaders GDT.LA  were left rueing a goalless draw against HP. Ha Noi which allowed Da Nang to chip away at their lead with a 5-0 drubbing of Binh Duong as the Vietnam League entered the home stretch. 
With three more rounds remaining in the league, only Da Nang and Binh Duong, both on 34 points, have a realistic chance of catching up with Dong Tam Long An who are seven points ahead.

Amaobi led from the front with a brace in Da Nang”s massive win while the other goals were supplied by Quang Tuan, Rogerio and Thanh Thong. Defending champions HAGL drifted eight points behind Binh Duong after a 0-1 defeat to LG HN ACB with the solitary winner coming from Mauricio Luis.

In the other Sunday games, Julien grabbed a brace and enabled M.Hai Phong to upend HL.Binh Dinh 2-1 who pulled one back through Sarayroot. SD.Nam Dinh heaped more misery on D. Dong Thap and pushed them firmly into the relegation zone with a 3-1 win. Van Nhien and Ngoc Linh scored for the winners while Thanh Binh reduced the margin for D.Dong Thap.

Van Quyen and Cong Vinh fired P.SLNA to a 2-0 victory over TMN.CSG.
