After 3 seasons, SLNA finally won when facing the neighboring team Hong Linh Ha Tinh. The match not only helped the Nghe An team climb to the top of the V.League 2022 rankings for the first time in the season, but also created confidence for SLNA players to achieve the goal set at the beginning of the tournament.

This is also a match that brings a lot of emotions to the fans, because it is a match between brothers in the Central region. The Nghe Tinh identity that the players showed is what makes coach Huy Hoang most satisfied.

SLNA head coach said: "My biggest impression in this match is the Nghe Tinh identity shown by the players of both teams. Before the match, I shared with the players that both Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces are from the same river. In the Nghe Tinh derby, we must play and dedicate to the fans of the two provinces a beautiful and quality match. The audience is also a huge catalyst to help the match become more intense and passionate."

Talking about his team's playing style, the SLNA captain said: "Depending on the opponent, we will have different tactics. I appreciate the way my players organized their playing style today. The players performed well according to the requirements set by the coaching staff before the match."

Sharing his feelings when he first ranked first on the V.League 2022 rankings, Coach Huy Hoang said: "After two consecutive victories, there is also motivation for us to aim for the slogan "Steel spirit, Beautiful victory". That slogan is the compass for us to strive for".

The SLNA captain added: "I am very satisfied with the players on the field as well as the players who were replaced in terms of technical skills. I always tell the players that our goal is not only to score points but also to play in a way that attracts more and more spectators and fans to the stadium."
