3 highlights of the SLNA - Binh Duong match

1. Hero Olaha

Olaha once again played the role of hero for the Vinh home team. In the 29th minute of the match, in an attacking situation on the right wing, Olaha was in the penalty area receiving a pass from the wing from Van Binh and then jumped high to decisively head the ball past goalkeeper Tan Truong to open the score of the match.

This is Olaha's second goal in V.League this year. Not only did he contribute an important goal to break the deadlock, but during the minutes on the field, Olaha was always an outstanding player thanks to his physical strength and athletic physique.

“In my opinion, Olaha was the most impressive player of the home team SLNA in this match. In addition to scoring 1 goal, Olaha also made Binh Duong’s defense struggle many times” - Binh Duong coach Tran Minh Chien shared.

After the match, the organizers decided to choose Olaha as the best player of the match. This is the second time the SLNA striker has achieved this title this season.

2. Highlights of Khac Ngoc

If Olaha was the best player of the match with 1 goal, then Khac Ngoc was the best domestic player at Vinh Stadium on the afternoon of March 7.

On a day when SLNA played brilliantly with a dedicated ball control style, it was no surprise that Khac Ngoc was the soul of that style of play. Not only was he a midfielder tasked with keeping the ball and making smart passes to his teammates, Khac Ngoc also showed off his skillful individual technique with dribbling moves that left the audience at Vinh Stadium in awe.

In the 35th minute, receiving a pass from his teammate, Khac Ngoc skillfully performed a compass turn before dribbling past two more defenders of Binh Duong team. Unfortunately, the home team midfielder's final shot was successfully intercepted by Tan Truong.

After the match, many Vietnamese football fans talked about Khac Ngoc's solo performance. Many people said that if it was a goal, it would be the most beautiful goal of the round.

3. The mark of coach Nguyen Duc Thang

SLNA is still undefeated with 2 wins and 1 draw after 3 rounds of V.League 2019. This achievement is greatly attributed to coach Nguyen Duc Thang. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang himself has made many changes in the playing style of the Nghe An team. It is easy to see in the match with Binh Duong that SLNA played more technically, focusing on ball control.

“SLNA’s playing style this season has changed compared to last season, as the players know how to control the ball better. In every match, I always emphasize to my students that they must control the match, only when they have a lot of the ball at their feet can they score goals.

Fortunately, our players did very well in today's match. You see, we played very well in controlling the ball in the second half of the first half and the first half of the second half," said coach Nguyen Duc Thang.
