When Vinh Stadium opens

Everyone knows that round 14 opens the fierce second leg of the V-League. The match at Vinh Stadium is where the two teams temporarily ranked first and second in the first leg "compete" with each other. If Song Lam Nghe An wins, they will shorten the gap with the top team to 6 points, which will make the race more exciting. And many people also know that for the past 7 years, even at home, Song Lam Nghe An has not won against Hanoi FC, even in the 2011 championship match, there was only a 1-1 draw. But this time could be different when Song Lam Nghe An is really coming back as a force, they once suffered a humiliating defeat in the first leg when the game was better, scoring first... And this second leg is the perfect opportunity for Huy Hoang and his students to "pay back both principal and interest" against this number 1 opponent?

And from then on, the audience flocked to Vinh Stadium to witness the epic battle between Song Lam Nghe An and Hanoi FC. In this match, Song Lam Nghe An, despite missing a few key players, still played well as usual, taking the lead thanks to the preemptive attack that Huy Hoang advocated and his students executed smoothly and beautifully.

But everyone knows, Hanoi FC is an extremely strong team, having won 7 consecutive matches, they easily dominated the game, forcing Song Lam Nghe An to retreat deep to defend. A moment of carelessness from the home team's defense was enough for the Brazilian striker Lucao to finish it off neatly, equalizing for the away team. Song Lam Nghe An is extremely tenacious in defense, has a reputation for deliberately playing defensive-counterattacking, but with the current force, against a high-class opponent Hanoi FC, a draw at home is not a bad thing. In fact, it was a good match in all aspects during the 90 minutes of play and if Vietnamese football always has such high-quality matches, there is absolutely no need to worry about whether the audience will come to the stadium to cheer or not, but the main thing to worry about is security, order, selling tickets to the audience easily and conveniently, taking care of related services...

It is known that Vinh Stadium has just been repaired and refurbished in all aspects, ensuring the requirements of top competition and the quality of service for spectators to cheer on the team is not inferior to any leading stadium in our country. That is also an important plus point to attract spectators besides the key factor is that Song Lam Nghe An plays sublimely, dedicates itself, and considers the audience as an indispensable part of football.

It is also known that the reason Vinh Stadium was packed, with no empty seats left in the recent Song Lam Nghe An-Ha Noi FC match, was because there was a third group of fans who came to the stadium to cheer enthusiastically, no less than the home team, the audience of the neighboring team Hong Linh Ha Tinh who came to support.

Recently, there was a very happy thing that many Song Lam Nghe An fans accompanied Hong Linh Ha Tinh fans to cheer for the team playing at home and some other away stadiums. It is not a matter of "give and take" but a matter of deep love for football, when the neighbors are happy, we are also happy, contributing to the neighbors is also increasing the strength of brothers who used to be in the same house, in the same team... The interesting thing is that in a match at Vinh stadium, there were 3 fan groups of Song Lam Nghe An, Hanoi FC and Hong Linh Ha Tinh cheering for beautiful football, dedicated football, there was absolutely no flares or fighting, loud voices between the sides...
