Echoes of Song Lam Nghe An's defeat to Hai Phong Club

Unbeaten streak broken by Hai Phong Club

Lam River Nghe Anentered the game very well at Lach Tray Stadium. The Nghe An team created many dangerous opportunities towards the home team's goal. However, the excellence of goalkeeper Dinh Trieu helped Hai Phong Club stand firm.

Along with that, the brilliance of striker Fred Friday helped the Hai Phong team win their second consecutive victory this season.

With this victory, Hai Phong Club ended a 5-match winless streak against Song Lam Nghe An. Meanwhile, the Nghe An team has yet to gain any points away from home this season. That is an issue that Song Lam Nghe An needs to improve if they want to get a good position in V.League 2025-2026.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is very skilled.

Song Lam Nghe An did not have the service of central defender Justin Julian Garcia due to suspension. That was a weakness that coach Chu Dinh Nghiem "went all out" to exploit thoroughly in the last match.

With the use of striker Fred Friday from the start, Song Lam Nghe An's defense had to struggle against the speed and strength of this Nigerian striker. And it was also the striker wearing the number 7 shirt who scored a double to bring a 2-0 victory forHai Phong Club.

Besides, the cunning and experience of midfielder Luiz Antonio and the solidity of Bicou Bissainthe on the home team also caused the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An to collapse.

It can be said that coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team had an excellent match and deserved to win the last match.

"Friends" of Cao Van Binh

Despite conceding two goals, it cannot be denied that goalkeeper Cao Van Binh had a pretty good match. He made many excellent saves and continued to receive “support” from his familiar invisible friends - the crossbar and the goalpost.

Indeed, from the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai to the match against SHB Da Nang, Cao Van Binh has always been accompanied by the crossbar and the goalpost to deny the opponent's goals. Most recently, the goalpost has denied Luiz Antonio and Fred Friday's shots three times in the last match.

However, luck and the excellence of goalkeeper Cao Van Binh could not help Song Lam Nghe An get 1 point leaving Lach Tray stadium.

Song Lam Nghe An still has a lot of work to do.

After the first 3 rounds, Song Lam Nghe An only has 3 points, with 1 win and 2 losses. This is not a bad result, especially when they defeated the current V.League champion. However, to aim for higher goals in the 2025-2026 season, the Nghe An team certainly has a lot to do.

First of all, the defense. 5 goals conceded in 3 matches and no clean sheet in any match is an alarming number. The defense of Song Lam Nghe An still leaves many gaps, making Cao Van Binh's goal always in danger.

Besides that is the ability to finish. The 2 matches with PVF-CAND and Hai Phong Club are the clearest proof. Before conceding the goal, Song Lam Nghe An created many clear scoring opportunities. If they had taken better advantage, the match situation could have turned in a different direction more favorable for them.Nghe An football team.

Finally, the integration of foreign players. Newcomers Reon Dale Moore and Carlos Enrique have yet to show a good connection with their teammates. This makes it impossible for foreign players to maximize their strengths.

Hopefully, the upcoming V.League break will help Song Lam Nghe An overcome the remaining shortcomings, thereby improving their performance in the upcoming rounds.
