HANOI (1 July 2012) – SHB Da Nang took the joint-lead in the V-League when they dumped league leaders Hanoi T&T 2-1 at the Hang Day Stadium in Hanoi.
Argentinean striker Gaston Merlo and Croatian midfielder Milorad Janjus were on target in the second half as Hanoi T&T staged a late reply through Nguyen Van Quyet right at the death.
The win for Da Nang pushed them to the top spot alongside Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA) with 25 points as Hanoi slipped down to fourth with 23 points.
In the meantime, SLNA snapped their six-match winless run to thrash 2011 champions Dong Tam Long An 8-0 at the Vinh stadium as veteran striker Le Cong Vinh struck four times.
Midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang grabbed a double as defender Nguyen Quang Tinh and striker Kevin Bryan score one goal each.
Elsewhere, Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) beat Kien Giang 3-0 at the Rach Gia Stadium while Dong Nai were held to a scoreless draw by Xuan Thanh Sai Gon and Hai Phong drew 1-1 with Thanh Hoa.
