(Baonghean.vn)- With the same goal of racing into the TOP 5, the home team Sanna.Khanh Hoa brought out a strong lineup to receive SLNA. Scoring twice first, the away team from Nghe An could not preserve the score and had to sadly leave Pho Bien with a score of 2-2.

SLNA is determined to get 3 points against S.KH, the evidence is that the Nghe An team hid in Nha Trang 5 days in advance so that coach Quang Truong only had 1 change in the center-back position, Van Khanh was allowed to enter the field to play with Ngoc Hai with the task of restraining Uche Iheruome in aerial battles. In fact, in the first half, both teams disrupted each other's play rather than arranging attacks. The away team SLNA focused on attacking more on the left wing with the dynamism of Dinh Hoang and Phi Son. In this match, coach Quang Truong asked Phi Son to play inside to harass S. Khanh Hoa's defense.

SLNA led twice but could not beat Khanh Hoa.

Meanwhile, coach Vo Dinh Tan also asked Uche Iheruome to move wide to the wing, focusing on exploiting SLNA's left wing, guarded by Manh Hung. The game was balanced until the 43rd minute, Phi Son penetrated the right wing, suddenly turned around and shot the ball hard with his left foot diagonally, making Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN goalkeeper Tuan Manh unable to catch the ball. Striker Odat Marshal "intercepted" and calmly put the ball into the empty net. Just 2 minutes later, in an unclear situation, from a high cross into the 16.5m area by left-back Trong Binh, referee Trong Thu judged that Dinh Hoang had committed a foul in a dispute with center-back Chaher Zarour and awarded S.Khanh Hoa a penalty kick of 11m. Quoc Chi kicked quite hard, almost close to goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, so the Nghe An goalkeeper was able to clear the ball in time.

In the beginning of the second half, the midfielder pair Ngoc Toan and Khac Ngoc of SLNA mainly did the task of recovering the ball, not allowing midfielder S. Khanh Hoa to pass the ball to Uche Iheruome. SLNA advocated playing low and slow to reduce the excitement of the home team. Reading Quang Truong's intention, coach Vo Dinh Tan directed the cross-line play and in the 53rd minute, from a long pass from central defender Chaher Zarour in the home field towards the 16.5m SLNA box, the head of a Sanna.KH player reached Lam Ti Phong's feet. After winning the ball, this midfielder broke into the penalty area before decisively shooting the ball with his right foot into SLNA's net.

The blameworthy thing is that Lam Ti Phong led the ball 12-15m but no defender of the Nghe An team dared to rush in, they were afraid of referee Thu's whistle like the situation where Dinh Hoang was penalized for a foul leading to a penalty at the end of the first half.

In this match, veteran Van Vinh did not have a good sense of the ball, and was also well taken care of by defender Trong Binh, so he could not make use of his through balls. In return, the opposite wing Phi Son played quite flexibly, coordinating well with Dinh Hoang. In the 57th minute, Phi Son returned from the national team and had a pretty good match when he scored a classy goal. Phi Son continuously turned around, dribbling the ball close to the penalty area. Instead of passing the ball, he decided to stretch his instep and shoot, sending the ball flying, hitting goalkeeper Tuan Manh's hand and into the net. In one match, Phi Son left his mark on both goals for SLNA.

Immediately after scoring, SLNA continuously adjusted their personnel to preserve the score. The Nghe An team used many long passes but the accuracy was not high, so they could not threaten goalkeeper Tuan Manh's goal. As many experts analyzed, despite putting Van Khanh and Ngoc Hai, the best headers, on the field, SLNA still let the game end. In the "all or nothing" situation, S.KH pushed center back Chaher Zarour up high and in the 82nd minute, center back Chaher Zarour jumped high to head the ball to Uche Iheruome in the penalty area. After a moment of receiving the ball, the home team's striker simply swung his leg to kick the ball into the SLNA net, scoring his 7th goal in the 2016 V-League.

It is hard to be satisfied with the 2-2 result after taking the lead twice against the home team. Coach Quang Truong has not been able to break the 3-point streak at Nha Trang Stadium. But the good news is that Phi Son has found the scoring touch again.

Sanna.KH:Tuan Manh, Trong Binh, Van Vu, Dinh Khuong, Quoc Chi, Chaher Zarour, Tan Tai, Van Trien, Tan Dien, Uche Iheruome, Lam Ti Phong.

SLNA:Nguyen Manh, Van Khanh, Dinh Hoang, Ngoc Toan, Phi Son, Odat Marshal, Khac Ngoc, Van Vinh, Manh Hung, Que Ngoc Hai, Baba Salia.
