During the away match at 19/8 Nha Trang Stadium against the home team Khanh Hoa,Lam River Nghe Anhad a favorable start when Soladio opened the score after an exemplary counter-attack.

Speaking at the press conference, the head coach of Song Lam Nghe An expressed regret at not being able to win all 3 points in the away match at 19/8 Nha Trang Stadium.

The refereeing in this match also made the Nghe An coach unhappy. Coach Huy Hoang said: “I am not satisfied with the referee's control of this match. The referee did not control well, leading to situations that were favorable to the home team. I think the organizing committee should review the referee team. In the final situation when the linesman blew the whistle, the main referee only threw the ball to Khanh Hoa team. That situation is the clearest manifestation of the referee's incorrect control. I think the organizing committee needs to review the tape to re-evaluate the referee team of today's match, especially the main referee."

After 4 matches, Song Lam Nghe An could not win. Although this team only had to face mid-level teams in the V.League. Not getting the desired results, Song Lam Nghe An coach pointed out some main reasons that exist in the home team: "Song Lam Nghe An let 4 draws happen, the reason is that our defense has not focused highly in set pieces. Besides, the young players have not yet caught up and gotten used to the V.League environment, so Song Lam Nghe An's coordination is very weak".

The break of more than 1 month is the golden time for the coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An to find solutions to the limitations of the home team.

“During the upcoming break, we will have to work harder on the training ground to improve the players’ playing style. Song Lam Nghe An will have to learn from their experience after going through the first four matches without a win,” said coach Huy Hoang.

Round 5 of V.League 2023 will return in early April, Song Lam Nghe An will return to Vinh Stadium to welcome Binh Duong Club./.
