5 highlights of the match Song Lam Nghe An - Nam Dinh: 1-0

1. Song Lam Nghe An ended their winless streak.

1-0 victory over host Nam DinhNot only did Song Lam Nghe An temporarily rise to 2nd place on the V.League rankings, but it also helped the Nghe team end a streak of two consecutive matches without a win. In addition, this victory was also the first time in 4 years that Song Lam Nghe An won at Thien Truong Stadium, ending a streak of 5 matches without a win against the team from Thanh Nam. This was also a spiritual medicine for the Nghe team before a difficult away trip to the defending champion Viettel Stadium.

2. Mario - the new boss of the Nghe An team's midfield.

Although I have only been in Vinh city for a week,Mariowas quickly named in the starting lineup by coach Huy Hoang. Very quickly, this Spanish midfielder integrated into the general playing style of Song Lam Nghe An, he and Pham Xuan Manh completely overwhelmed the central midfield duo of the home team Nam Dinh. With interceptions, short and medium-distance passes, Mario helped connect and rotate the ball from the defense to the front line. If striker Oseni had not missed the unfortunate opportunity in the 18th minute, rookie Mario would have had his own assist. The 90 minutes of the match against Nam Dinh were the perfect debut for this 30-year-old midfielder.

3. Defensive fulcrum

The second consecutive clean sheet proves that Song Lam Nghe An has a solid support in defense. Even when Hoang Van Khanh was absent, defender Pham The Nhat still completed the assigned task very well. Under the command of captain Que Ngoc Hai, Nam Dinh's attack had almost no significant opportunities. One regrettable thing in this match is that Thai Ba Sang was injured and also received a third yellow card, so he will definitely be absent in the next match. Luckily, center back Van Khanh returned and played very well when he came on to replace Thai Ba Sang.

4. Masterpiece of Tran Dinh Tien

Playing in the starting lineup to replace Olaha, Dinh Tien played very energetically. He and Dinh Hoang often stirred up the right wing of the home team Nam Dinh. Dinh Tien's long-range shot in the 67th minute was probably one of the most beautiful goals of the 12th round and it was also a worthy reward for the efforts of this midfielder born in 1998. Hopefully, this goal will help Dinh Tien become more confident and mature.

5. Thien Truong is still a fire pan

With 12,000 spectators in the stadium,Thien Truongstill deserves the title of the fiery cauldron of Vietnamese football. According to VPF statistics, in Nam Dinh's 6 home matches this season, only the match against Ho Chi Minh City club had an audience of less than 10,000 people (8,000 spectators). In particular, the match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi club had an audience of approximately 20,000 people - a record number of V.League this season. Fortunately, the Nghe An team overcame this terrible pressure and returned home with all 3 points.
