Under the leadership of head coach Le Huynh Duc, who was a former national team member and three times winner of the Golden Ball award, Da Nang earned their first title after 17 years of waiting.
Da Nang’s crown was predicted earlier in the season based on the team’s skills, tactics and physical strength.
In the past three years, Da Nang was unable to beat Nam Dinh, but on Sunday, they did it on home turf.
The host faced few difficulties controlling the match against Nam Dinh, who are nearly at the bottom of the table.
In the 18th minute, Nam Dinh’s goalkeeper Quang Huy was unable to catch the ball, leaving Merlo Gaston free to open the score.
It seemed as if Chi Lang Stadium exploded with excitement when Da Nang fans sensed that their team would be crowned that very day.
With the early goal, Duc’ players attacked more and more effectively to level the score proved useless when Molina doubled the host’s score in the 72nd minute.
T&T Hanoi ranked second in the standings with 37 points after this win.
