Echoes of Song Lam Nghe An's defeat against Dong A Thanh Hoa
The away team Dong A Thanh Hoa had a completely dominant game compared to the home team Song Lam Nghe An. And the victory was a worthy achievement for coach Popov's team.
Convinced
Although very determined in this match, but the inferior strength madeLam River Nghe Anget a score. During the 90 minutes at Vinh Stadium, the Nghe An team only had 1 shot on target.
Meanwhile, Dong A Thanh Hoa created countless scoring opportunities towards goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. If it weren't for the excellence of the goalkeeper from Tan Ky, the number of goals conceded would not have stopped at 1.

However, the only goal of Nguyen Ngoc My was enough to make Song Lam Nghe An empty-handed at home. With this defeat, the Nghe An team fell to the bottom of the V.League rankings.
Meanwhile, the victory right at Vinh Stadium helped Dong A Thanh Hoa take the top spot in the V.League rankings, an admirable achievement for coach Popov and his team.
Midfield concerns
With an unfamiliar midfield line consisting of Nguyen Xuan Binh, Nguyen Quang Vinh and Ngo Van Luong, Song Lam Nghe An almost lost the game right after referee Tran Dinh Thinh blew the opening whistle.
The Nghe An team's midfield was divided, making it impossible for them to develop attacking situations. Long passes were the only attack of Song Lam Nghe An in this match and it was easily broken by Gustavo and Nguyen Thanh Long.

JobDinh Xuan Tienentered the field in the second half to improve a bit in Song Lam Nghe An's attacking situations. But that was still too weak to help the Nghe An team get a point.
In the upcoming matches, if the coaching staff of the Nghe An team still cannot find solutions to overcome this weakness, it will be very difficult for Song Lam Nghe An to get points.
Dong A Thanh Hoa - An example for Song Lam Nghe An to learn from
Not to mention the quality of the Thanh team players, Dong A Thanh Hoa is far superior to us in fighting spirit and physical strength. In most of the duels, the victory is always on the side of Dong A Thanh Hoa players.

A typical example is young player Nguyen Ngoc My. The fearless playing style of this player born in 2004 destroyed the left wing of Song Lam Nghe An. And the goal was a worthy reward for this striker wearing the number 24 shirt.
This is partly due to the fiery coaching style of coach Popov, who always shouts until his voice is hoarse on the sidelines. Therefore, his students are also "forced to burn" along with this Bulgarian teacher.
It's the referee again.
The red card for Le Van Thanh was a 50/50 situation. Because the situation happened close to the touchline and there were 4 Song Lam Nghe An players back to support. This situation was considered "lighter" than the foul committed by Quy Nhon Binh Dinh player in the counter-attack of the Nghe team in the match of round 5.

Not only that, during the entire 90 minutes at Vinh Stadium, referee Tran Dinh Thinh only gave out 1 yellow card to the players.East Asia Thanh HoaMeanwhile, the foreign striker duo of Song Lam Nghe An were continuously fouled by Thanh Hoa players. Not to mention, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet was twice fouled dangerously by Dong A Thanh Hoa foreign players.
It seems that everything is against Song Lam Nghe An and the team needs the determination and efforts of all players as well as the support of fans to get out of this difficult situation./.
