This is the last match of the first leg of V.League 2022. If Song Lam Nghe An wins, they will have 23 points, the most points in the past 10 seasons when they participated in V.League. And in fact, the home team Vinh entered the game very well, they held the ball confidently and launched coherent attacks. However, the defense played without concentration at the necessary times, making the Nghe team pay the price.

Coach Huy Hoang shared: “Song Lam Nghe An made some mistakes in defense, leading to the goals conceded. Our players were too eager to score, the lines were pushed up a bit too high. In addition, at many times, the defense lacked concentration, leading to the home team conceding 2 goals. We will have to improve a lot to have good matches in the second half of the season. In my opinion, the referee controlled the match very well.”

Reviewing the first leg of the 2022 season, coach Huy Hoang said: “We had a pretty good start. This is thanks to the solidarity of the whole team. We set a goal of entering the top 3 this season. That goal is still being achieved by the Nghe players on the right track.”

This season, Song Lam Nghe An is a club that boldly promotes many young players to play in the first team. This will create a good opportunity for young strikers from Nghe An to quickly accumulate experience. Thereby, creating a successor team to build the Song Lam Nghe An team to develop more sustainably in the future.

Coach Huy Hoang said: "We have many young players, they have tried very hard in training and competition. However, these players still need more experience to be able to compete well in a big playground like V.League.

Besides, I highly appreciate the foreign players in this match. Mario also showed his ability to quickly integrate with the new team."
