The absence of Ngoc Hai and Tien Dung has greatly affected our defense system. The back line has no leader to remind, adjust the distance, and marking of the players next to each other. Striker Fagan is fast but not strong in breaking speed, but in the end we still lost by 1 goal. This is a lesson and our team will have to meet to learn from the experience of the next match," said coach Viet Hoang.
