Looking back at round 7 of V.League 2022: Impressive Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Song Lam Nghe An

This is the “acceleration” phase of the first leg.V.League 2022, the teams Song Lam Nghe An, Hoang Anh Gia Lai are showing rapid progress with 2 consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh, Saigon still have not known the taste of victory and are in the red light group, alarming.

B.Binh Duong - SHB.Da Nang (2-2):After a 1-3 defeat against host Hong Linh Ha Tinh in the previous round, the players at Go Dau Stadium certainly want to get 3 points against SHB.Da Nang, the team that also lost 1-0 to Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 6.

The away team scored first but Tien Linh and Trung Tin gave the home team a 2-1 lead, but only a last-minute carelessness by B.Binh Duong's defense allowed Van Huu to equalize 2-2 for SHB.Da Nang. This result left B.Binh Duong with only 11 points, equal to Hai Phong and Ha Noi, 13 points behind Song Lam Nghe An.

T.Binh Dinh - Nam Dinh (1-0):Leaving Thien Truong Stadium, Coach Van Sy's players lost 50% of their strength. They had their second loss when the home team T.Binh Dinh players quickly attacked, determined to have their first victory for their fans. Nam Dinh players concentrated in large numbers to earn 1 point, but just a few minutes after entering the field to replace Rafaelson, Ha Duc Chinh joined the attack, passing the ball to Hendrio for an accurate volley, opening the score for the team from Vo land. In the 80th minute, Ho Tan Tai chose a reasonable landing point to head the ball into Nam Dinh's net, doubling the gap for the home team. Pressing forward to attack, Trung Hieu only managed to score 1 goal in the 85th minute, not enough to earn 1 point.

Song Lam Nghe An - Hong Linh Ha Tinh (1-0):For many years, Song Lam Nghe An has not known the taste of victory when facing the neighboring team Hong Linh Ha Tinh. But this time, without Dinh Hoang (red card), Ojong Mark due to injury, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang boldly used young players like Xuan Tien, Van Cuong, and continued to put Xuan Manh in the central midfield position, helping the Nghe team's game become more solid.

After Tran Phi Son, Truong Trong Sang, Zakaria Suraka were injured, Thanh Trung's absence from the game caused a big loss in the away team's strength. Oseni made coach Thanh Cong and his team leave Vinh empty-handed, ending their two-match winning streak. A match in which the spectators of both teams and the players on the field left many beautiful images, worthy of being called the "Nghe derby".

Hai Phong - Viettel (1-2).After the loss at Hang Day Stadium, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem really wanted 3 points to pursue the top 3 goal. New Coach Bae Ji-won has quality foreign players such as P.Paulo, Jaha, Geovane and national players Hoang Duc and Thanh Binh, making it difficult for the home team to defend.

Home team striker Rimario continued to play very impressively, but he only scored 1 goal in this 1-2 loss. With this form, Hai Phong will find it difficult to stay in the top 3 when T.Binh Dinh and Ha Noi are playing well.

Thanh Hoa - Saigon (4-0):The away team's recent form has not been good, so coach Ljupko Petrovic decided to focus on attacking to take all 3 points. Van Thang, Quoc Phuong, Jose Pinto, Paulo Henrique continuously surrounded Saigon FC goalkeeper Van Phong's goal.

Paulo Henrique scored first for the home team Thanh Hoa but Saigon striker Andre Vieira received a red card in the 30th minute - this foreign player elbowed the home team's central defender Victor Kamhuka in the chest. This was the source of Saigon FC's defeat with a score of 0-4.

Currently, Saigon is still stuck at the bottom of the table with 3 points after 6 matches and the head coach position of Phung Thanh Phuong is shaky.

Ho Chi Minh City - Hoang Anh Gia Lai (0-2):The somewhat lucky victory at SHB.Da Nang Stadium in round 6 made Coach Kiatisak's students more confident when meeting Ho Chi Minh City Club. Two goals by Wasington Brandao and Van Thanh helped Hoang Anh Gia Lai defeat Ho Chi Minh City right at Thong Nhat Stadium.

Ho Chi Minh City's foreign players are slow to react and cannot show their abilities, while goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung's inconsistent performance has caused coach Tran Minh Chien more headaches. Up to now, the team at Thong Nhat Stadium has only scored 2 goals, the lowest in V.League.

People have seen the V.League 2022 split, above Song Lam Nghe An, Hanoi, T.Binh Duong showing their strength, while Nam Dinh and Saigon need to quickly escape the vortex.
