Goal shower at Vinh Stadium

(Baonghean.vn) - The V-League Round 2 match at Vinh Stadium ended with a 6-1 victory for the home team. A perfect start for the SLNA players.

After a narrow victory in their opening match against newly promoted Than Quang Ninh, Coach Huu Thang's team returned to Vinh Stadium to face the team from Quang Nam. Many considered this a Nghe An derby because the visiting team included many former SLNA players, and Coach Vu Quang Bao himself was once a veteran of SLNA, having achieved success with the Military Region 4 team and struggled at various other clubs before becoming the head coach of Quang Nam.

In the second round match, SLNA will field their strongest lineup. Meanwhile, the players from Quang Nam are also determined to earn points against the team considered the favorites. The chances are evenly split between the two teams. This promises to be a fierce, exciting, and dramatic match right up to the final minute.

At 5 PM, the match began. SLNA wore their traditional yellow jerseys, while the visiting team, Quang Nam, took to the field in white.

The two teams go through the pre-match procedures before entering the field.

The match was exciting from the very first minutes. SLNA took the initiative on the field with the aggressiveness of their foreign players and the solidity of their domestic players in the defense. Captain Cong Vinh was positioned as an attacking midfielder and drifted to the left wing, while Phi Son pushed forward on the right wing of the formation.

In the 3rd minute, Emile opened the scoring with a short passing sequence inside the Quang Nam penalty area.

The early goal conceded did not faze the visiting team's players; instead, they proactively pushed forward in search of an equalizer. In the 8th minute, Yahaya displayed skillful footwork inside Nguyen Manh's penalty area, but unfortunately, his shot was too weak.

A few minutes later, SLNA responded with a free kick from Quang Tình that hit the post.

A high-pressing move by the Quang Nam players.

In the 28th minute, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh threw himself out of the box when both of the opposing team's foreign players had possession of the ball inside the penalty area. Following this incident, Nguyen Manh sustained an injury.

With more than two-thirds of the first half already played, the home team still holds the advantage. The visiting team's efforts have yet to yield the desired results.

Phi Son was the most impressive player on the field. With his agility and aggressiveness, the young player caused a lot of trouble for the visiting team's defense. In one such situation, Phi Son made the visiting team's defense look like fools with a spectacular performance, increasing the score to 2-0.

In the 36th minute, during a coordinated attack down the right wing, midfielder Quang Tình made a beautiful pass to Emile. The player then executed another perfect move, increasing the score to 3-0 for the home team.

A few minutes later, the home team SLNA players managed to put the ball into the visitors' net again, but the referee raised the flag for offside.

Phi Son played exceptionally well on the field and scored a beautiful goal.

In the final minutes of the match, the Song Lam Nghe An players continued to push forward but no further goals were scored. At the end of the first half, SLNA led Quang Nam 3-0.

The second half begins:

The Quang Nam players are trying to push forward to find a goal, however, SLNA's defense is playing very solidly.

The two new foreign players for the home team SLNA are playing very energetically.

It can be said that this was an uneven derby match. SLNA consistently held the initiative on the field. Despite their best efforts, the players from Quang Nam could not break through the home team's defense. Meanwhile, the SLNA players showed no signs of stopping and continued to press forward in attack.

In the 54th minute, SLNA put the ball into Quang Nam's net again, but the referee blew the whistle due to a foul committed by a home team player earlier in the play. The goal was disallowed.

Shortly afterwards, Hong Viet made a bold breakthrough from the left wing and unleashed two consecutive shots from a tight angle, beating Quang Nam's goalkeeper Van Cuong. Following this, Hong Viet received a yellow card for taking off his shirt to celebrate.

A minute later, SLNA increased their lead to 5-0 after Edouard scored from a pass by Phi Son.

Coach Huu Thang celebrates with his players.

Faced with a complete deadlock, coach Vu Quang Bao decided to make a substitution, replacing Van Vinh with Van Quan.

Before this match, Cong Vinh was the player with the highest expectations, however, up to this point, he has yet to score a goal and has performed rather poorly on the field.

Cong Vinh had a spirited performance and scored his 100th goal in the V-League.

This was SLNA's first home game of the 2014 season. A large crowd braved the cold wind to come to the stadium and cheer on the home team. The atmosphere in the stadium was exhilarating as the home team scored five goals in quick succession.

Meanwhile, in the technical area, coach Vu Quang Bao looked pensive and helpless as he watched his players being "tormented".

In the 69th minute, Cong Vinh scored with a decisive shot into the far corner, increasing the score to 6-0. After this goal, he knelt on the field to thank the fans, while the spectators in the stadium chanted Cong Vinh's name.

In the 73rd minute, Quang Nam scored a goal to reduce the deficit to 1-6. The goal was scored by player number 10, Yahaya.

As the match drew to a close, the atmosphere in the stadium was rather subdued, and some spectators had already begun to leave.

The visiting players watched helplessly as the ball went into the net six times.

The match went into 2 minutes of added time, but no further goals were scored. The final score was SLNA 6-1. With their second consecutive victory, Coach Nguyen Huu Thang's team has had the best possible start to the new season.
