Seeking their second victory in a row after ending a dismal six-game winless run last weekend, Da Nang stormed into a 2-0 lead thanks to Le Hong Minh's 24th-minute opener and Truong Quang Tuan's strike a minute later.

Almeida added a third for the home side a minute before the break before Rogerio found the net three minutes from time to complete a comprehensive win.

Da Nang moved up to 26 points from 15 games, one ahead of Thanh Hoa, who were held to a goalless draw by another struggling side, Dong Thap.

However, Da Nang remain seven points adrift of runaway leaders Binh Duong, who visit Hanoi ACB on Sunday.
