In the final round of the first leg of Group B of the 2023 National U17 Qualifiers, U17 Song Lam Nghe An faced off against the opponent competing for the top spot in the group, U17 Hanoi. In the first half, with the pressure of the Vinh team, U17 Hanoi could not stand firm and conceded a goal in the 30th minute. For U17 Song Lam to gain the advantage of leading the score, as well as creating a series of opportunities against the capital team, captain Nguyen Trong Tuan made a great contribution. The midfielder wearing the number 7 shirt has basic techniques and excellent tactical vision. He often launches passes with high damage. In addition, the captain of U17 Song Lam Nghe An also always brings a breakthrough to the team. The player from Do Luong often makes straight runs in the middle and then makes powerful shots. In the 2023 National U17 Qualifiers, Trong Tuan scored 2 goals (1 goal in the match against U17 Hung Yen and 1 goal in the match against U17 Thanh Hoa).
Unfortunately for U17 Song Lam Nghe An, in the 54th minute of the match against U17 Hanoi, Trong Tuan had to leave the field due to a recurrence of his groin ligament injury. It is likely that this player will not be able to play in the first match of the second leg. If Trong Tuan's injury progresses in a positive direction, he can return in the match against U17 Thanh Hoa on February 27.
After Trong Tuan left the field, Le Dinh Long Vu was brought in as a replacement. The U16 Vietnam player played impressively, scoring the winning goal to secure a 2-0 victory for U17 Song Lam Nghe An.
