Echoes of Song Lam Nghe An's second consecutive defeat
(Baonghean.vn) - Late goals at the end of the match did not help Song Lam Nghe An get 1 point away from Binh Duong Stadium. This defeat puts coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team in danger in V.League 2023/2024.
Never give up
The home team Becamex Binh Duong took full advantage of the opportunities to take an early lead.Lam River Nghe Anwith a score of 2-0 after 52 minutes of play. Both goals bore the mark of Vietnam National Team player Nguyen Tien Linh.
The Nghe An team fell into a more difficult situation when defender Vuong Van Huy received a red card and striker Atshimene Charles increased the score to 3-0 in the 80th minute. It seemed that Song Lam Nghe An would collapse, but the efforts of Olaha and Tran Manh Quynh helped the Nghe An team score 2 honorary goals in the final minutes.
Although they could not get a single point from Binh Duong, what coach Phan Nhu Thuat's players showed when there were only 10 people left on the field was very remarkable. That was the spirit of fighting with all their might and never giving up.
Blame yourself then blame others
Many people will blame the referee for being heavy-handed when he blew the penalty.Becamex Binh Duongand partly the red card of defender Vuong Van Huy. However, before blaming the referee, the Nghe An team should blame themselves.
Those were the missed opportunities at the beginning of the first half that prevented Song Lam Nghe An from taking the lead. That was the unwise blocking of the ball by Vuong Van Huy that caused the 22-year-old defender to receive an undeserved red card.
It can be said that Song Lam Nghe An fell into the trap set by coach Le Huynh Duc's team and had to leave Binh Duong stadium empty-handed.
Tran Manh Quynh returns
After being reduced to 10 players, the Nghe An team suddenly played better. Among them, midfielder Tran Manh Quynh stood out. This midfielder wearing the number 11 shirt had bold breakthroughs that made the Becamex Binh Duong defense falter.
That was the situation of turning the ball inside to finish dangerously but the goal was denied by the post. That was the situation of shooting from afar with an unpredictable trajectory that forced goalkeeper Tran Minh Toan to work hard to block. And we cannot fail to mention the goal that reduced the score to 2-3 in the 87th minute.
This is the Tran Manh Quynh that Nghe An fans are expecting. A Tran Manh Quynh played very well at the beginning of the season with 3 goals and 1 assist. Hopefully, this midfielder wearing the number 11 shirt will continue to maintain this high performance in the upcoming match.
Lam River Nghe An in danger
After losing 2-3 to Becamex Binh Duong, Song Lam Nghe An only has 13 points after 13 matches. The Nghe An team is still temporarily ranked 11th on the rankings but is only 4 points behind the bottom team Khanh Hoa Club.
Besides, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team only have a better goal difference than The Cong Viettel and LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai. Therefore, the upcoming return leg is expected to bring many difficulties forNghe An football team.
Hopefully, the upcoming break for the Vietnam team to compete in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup will help the coach and his team perfect their techniques and tactics, thereby achieving better results in the return leg./.
