Former player Jeremie Lynch sows sorrow, Song Lam Nghe An leaves empty-handed in Cam Pha
(Baonghean.vn) - SLNA's foreign players such as Peter Samuel and new player Felipe Martins were both stuck in front of Than Quang Ninh's goal, but the home team's two foreign players played impressively and took turns scoring against goalkeeper Van Hoang.
Right in the 4th minute, the home team Than Quang Ninh had a dangerous attack, foreign player Diego Fagan just fell in the SLNA penalty area, but there was no penalty for the home team.
Than Quang Ninh continued to maintain the game. In the 8th minute, Mac Hong Quan made a sharp pass, creating an opportunity for Hai Long to penetrate the SLNA penalty area and shoot. Luckily for the away team, an SLNA player was able to block the ball in time.
After that, SLNA's defense had to continuously defend against attacks and pressure. However, the defenders of the Nghe An team covered each other very well and Van Hoang also played with concentration against Mac Hong Quan's shots.

In the 20th minute, SLNA had a strong answer. Quang Ninh player Tran Trung Hieu made a mistake after Peter Samuel passed the ball back, young player Dinh Tien quickly shot close to the goal. However, the SLNA player's shot hit a home team player and went out.
After being somewhat pressured in the first few minutes, SLNA gradually regained control of the game and organized many sharp attacks. In the 28th minute, Felipe Martins' delicate pass helped Dang Van Lam escape from 2 defenders facing goalkeeper Tien Linh, unfortunately the young SLNA player's shot was slung and missed the post by a hair.
At the end of the first half, when the game was quite balanced and it seemed like the two teams would go into the break without any goals, SLNA's defense made a mistake and conceded a goal. In the extra time from a corner kick, the ball was in disarray in front of SLNA's penalty area and Lastro Neven was there at the right time, launching a dangerous header for Fagan to tap in and bring the opening goal for Quang Ninh.

In the second half, Phan Van Duc and veteran Quang Tinh were brought onto the field to replace young players Dinh Tien and Van Lam in the hope of changing the game. However, before SLNA could stabilize their forces, Van Hoang had to fly to save a dangerous free kick from Lastro Neven.
It wasn't until the 67th minute that Quang Tinh had a good pass for Ho Tuan Tai to run down. Unfortunately, the SLNA striker's subsequent header was too weak to trouble the Quang Ninh goalkeeper.
The answer in the 70th minute belonged to the home team. Striker Fagan shot into the SLNA net, but the home team's striker had fouled midfielder Gustavo before that. The two teams started to play tit for tat, struggling.

In the 78th minute, SLNA's defense continued to be in an alarming situation. Striker Fagan once again shot into the net after Van Hoang's poor catch, fortunately the Quang Ninh player was offside in the previous move.
With only 10 minutes left in the match, Sy Sam was brought in to replace Dinh Chau and Quang Ninh also made two substitutions, Xuan Hung and Jeremie Lynch were added.
Just a few minutes after entering the field, the Jamaican striker left his mark with a beautiful long-range shot, defeating Van Hoang to raise the score to 2-0 for Than Quang Ninh. Difficulties became more and more piled up for the Nghe An team.
In the 88th minute, the best chance came to SLNA to score a goal to shorten the score. Foreign player Felipe missed a golden opportunity for SLNA, after a great pass from substitute player Mai Sy Hoang.
