V-League Round 8 Make-up Match: HN.T&T Determined to Reclaim the Top Spot

On the afternoon of July 12, HN.T&T will have a make-up match of round 8 of V-League 2014 against SLNA at Hang Day Stadium. In the last round 20, HN.T&T stumbled when they were held to a 3-3 draw by a much weaker opponent, DT.LA, right at home.

Coach Phan Thanh Hung said that it was a match in which his players were somewhat subjective, so even though they were leading 2-0, they left the field with only 1 point.

In the past few days, HN.T&T has been working on the players' mentality to regain their spirit for the championship race. Meeting SLNA, HN.T&T received good news when striker Samson officially returned after being suspended for the previous 4 matches. With Samson's service, the Hang Day team's attack will be stronger.

Meanwhile, SLNA, which just won 3-1 against Dong Nai in the 20th round, will not be able to send striker Emile onto the field on the afternoon of July 12. Emile received a red card after a foul on defender Thiago (Dong Nai). Losing Emile is a big loss for the Nghe An team because another striker, Voinea, is not in good form.

HN.T&T has been taken over the number 1 position by B.BD and now the “capital” from the make-up match with SLNA will be a great opportunity for the Capital team to reclaim the top position. If they fail, HN.T&T can only blame themselves because the path to the championship will become very fragile for them.
