5 highlights of the SLNA - Khanh Hoa match

1. Exciting first half

After 21 rounds, Khanh Hoa is the team with the highest risk of relegation. However, in the last rounds, Mr. Vo Dinh Tan's team has shown improvement, making the relegation race more intense. Before round 21 took place, Khanh Hoa was only 3 points behind the team above Hai Phong. Therefore, they entered the match with the highest spirit to find 3 points against SLNA to close the gap with the team above.

On the opposite side, SLNA is ranked 8th with a lackluster performance that has made Nghe An fans lose faith. Determined to regain their image, SLNA chose an attacking style of play right from the opening whistle to aim for the best result.

2. Khanh Hoa suffered a powerful counterattack from SLNA

Khanh Hoa took risks and pressed forward in the second half to find a goal to take the lead. As for SLNA, they chose a defensive counter-attacking style of play and that immediately paid off. In the 50th minute of the match, Vinucius took advantage of a mistake in the home team's defense, sprinted strongly before finishing coolly past goalkeeper Tuan Manh.

3. Ho Tuan Tai "shines" and distracts Mr. Park

The match against Khanh Hoa was perhaps the most convincing performance of the striker from Hung Nguyen this season. With a double against the coastal city team, Ho Tuan Tai has scored a total of 7 goals and has entered the list of the most effective domestic strikers. The SLNA striker has achieved the same results as Van Toan (HAGL), Ha Minh Tuan (Quang Nam) and Mac Hong Quan (Than Quang Ninh).

4. Vinicius relieves pressure

The fact that the strikers scored 4 goals is a good sign for SLNA. In addition, the striker who is expected to change SLNA's strikers, Vinicius, also scored his 2nd goal this season. It is worth mentioning that this is the goal that Vinicius showed his worth with his ability to sweep and killer instinct like when he played for TP.HCM. It can be said that this is an important goal for Vinicius, it has relieved a lot of pressure for the Brazilian striker in the remaining journey of this year's season.

With the victory over Khanh Hoa, SLNA has won 30 points and unexpectedly climbed to the Top 4. This is an achievement that makes Nghe An fans very excited. However, considering the situation, it does not mean much because with 30 points, SLNA is only 3 points ahead of the 9th ranked team. Therefore, if they continue to show "unstable" behavior like in the past, the Top 4 position may very well leave the Nghe An team after only 1 round.
