'First time' of former Song Lam Nghe An player
(Baonghean.vn) - Defeating Phu Tho with a score of 1 - 0 in the "reverse final", Hoa Binh Club of coach Ho Thanh Thuong - former player of Song Lam Nghe An has almost secured a ticket to stay in the league.
After taking over the hot seat left by former player Pham Thanh Luong, coach Ho Thanh Thuong has helped the Northwestern team gradually "transform". However, it was not until the 15th round on May 5 that Hoa Binh Club enjoyed real success with a very important victory.
Welcoming the team at the bottom of the table, Phu Tho, the task for Bui Long Nhat and his teammates is nothing other than a victory. Simply put, only then will the door to relegation open wide for coach Ho Thanh Thuong and his team, because the gap in points between the two teams is not too big.
In terms of strength, Hoa Binh Club cannot be compared to the "homeland team". It can be seen that in the hands of coach Ho Thanh Thuong, most of the players are young. Battle experience is something that Bui Long Nhat and his teammates are far behind compared to their opponents. The only advantage they have is that they get to play at home.
With the importance of the match, both teams entered the match with great determination. Despite strong resistance from Phu Tho players, the home team still got what they wanted. The only goal of the match came from a super goal by Nguyen Anh Tu in the 36th minute, helping Hoa Binh Club gain maximum points.
Thanks to this victory, the Northwestern team widened the gap with their opponent Phu Tho to 8 points. At the same time, it relieved a lot of pressure for coach Ho Thanh Thuong and his team. Don't forget, the last time Hoa Binh Club enjoyed the joy of victory was quite a while ago, specifically on December 10, 2023 (won Dong Nai 1 - 0).
So, after just nearly 2 months of leading Hoa Binh Club, coach Ho Thanh Thuong has had his first victory in the 2023/2024 National First Division. This is considered a worthy reward for the tireless efforts of the strategist from Nghe An, his colleagues and students.
Hopefully, in the rest of this season, Hoa Binh Club will continue to compete successfully. It should be noted that the 2023/2024 National First Division has only 1 slot to play in the National Second Division next season. Perhaps, with the current score and form, Phu Tho will be the owner of that "unlucky" ticket./.
