Looking back at the regrettable defeat of coach Huy Hoang and his team

Commendable spirit of Nghe An players

With the change in the sponsor's reward method, fans are worried about the players' fighting spirit.Lam River Nghe AnHowever, in the last match, the Nghe An players played bravely.

Especially midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang. At the age of 34, Hoang “cow” still showed his resilience and enthusiasm. The opening goal was just the highlight of the tireless efforts of the midfielder wearing the number 9 shirt. It can be said that Trong Hoang was the best player of Song Lam Nghe An in this match.

Another bright spot for the Nghe An team is goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. In his second start at V.League 2023, the 25-year-old goalkeeper had some amazing reflexes to save Song Lam Nghe An. Unfortunately, Nguyen Van Viet's brilliance could not help the Nghe An team get 1 point away from Hang Day Stadium.

Referee "over-treats" Song Lam Nghe An

It can be said that the referee team working in this match did not do their job well. Many times, Mr. Mai Xuan Hung made decisions to be lenient with the home team players. That was the situation of Ho Tan Tai hitting Olaha, or the dangerous fouls of Nguyen Trong Long on Pham Xuan Manh but only received warnings.

Especially the situation where the linesman raised his flag to signal offside against striker Soladio at the end of the first half. This was a situation where the Belgian striker was clearly standing above the last defender of the team.Hanoi Police. If the men in black had made a more accurate decision, Song Lam Nghe An could have raised the score to 2-0 and the match result would have been very different. This was also the situation that brought the most regret to Nghe An fans in this match.

Worrying for Captain Que Ngoc Hai

Captain Que Ngoc Hai may have been the one who created the pass for Nguyen Trong Hoang to open the score of the match. This third center back may have made very positive contributions to Song Lam Nghe An's attacks. However, on the defensive front, the Captain of Song Lam Nghe An has not completed his task well. In the last 2 matches, Nghe An fans have not seen aQue Ngoc Hairoll up their sleeves and make decisive interventions. Instead, there are situations where they hesitate to let the opposing team score. That was the situation where striker Paulo Pinto raised the score to 2-0 in the match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. And both goals conceded by Song Lam Nghe An in this match, partly stemmed from Que Ngoc Hai's lack of determination. Hopefully, in the upcoming matches, this central defender will regain his best form to help Song Lam Nghe An have better results.

With what the Nghe players have shown in this match, it is certain that there will be quite a lot of fans present to cheer for Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming match. It will be another away match at Hang Day Stadium but the opponent will be the Military team - Viettel Club.

A good match and full of effort from coach Huy Hoang and his team. However, they still lacked a bit of luck to get points against the home team Cong An Ha Noi. Hopefully, the Nghe An team will perform better in the upcoming match to bring home important points.
