Looking back at Song Lam Nghe An's second consecutive loss
(Baonghean.vn) - Although they dominated the match and created countless good opportunities, the Nghe An team still had to accept defeat.
The strange lack of luck of the home team
It can be said that the 0-2 loss to Becamex Binh Duong Club was a regrettable match.Lam River Nghe AnThe unfortunate incident started with a careless pass back by veteran Trong Hoang, which created an opportunity for Nguyen Tien Linh to score the opening goal in the 3rd minute of the match.
After the unexpected loss, the Vinh home team rushed to the opponent's field to look for an equalizer. However, the Nghe An strikers Olaha, Dinh Xuan Tien, Tran Manh Quynh and Captain Que Ngoc Hai missed their golden opportunities. Even when Pham Xuan Manh defeated goalkeeper Tran Minh Toan, the crossbar denied the Nghe An team a goal.
The inability to find a goal caused Song Lam Nghe An to lose 0-2, thereby dropping to 11th place in the V.League 2023 rankings. And coach Phan Nhu Thuat will still have a lot of work to do if he wants to achieve good results in the 2023-2024 season.
Becamex Binh Duong erases curse
Individual brilliance and resilient play helpedBecamex Binh Duonghad a valuable victory against the home team Song Lam Nghe An. This victory not only helped the team from Thu Dau Mot end a streak of 15 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory in V.League 2023 but also helped Becamex Binh Duong erase the curse of 8 consecutive years without a win at Vinh Stadium. In addition, this precious victory helped coach Le Huynh Duc and his team escape the bottom position of the V.League rankings after the end of the third round of phase 2.
The highlight of Becamex Binh Duong's victory was goalkeeper Tran Minh Toan. The goalkeeper, born in 1996, denied the Nghe An players at least 5 times, helping the team keep a clean sheet. He deserved to be the best player of the match.
Another person who also contributed greatly to Becamex Binh Duong's victory was Captain Nguyen Tien Linh. The striker of the Vietnam National Team showed his class when he scored a dangerous shot from outside the box to open the score of the match. Besides, Nguyen Tien Linh also actively retreated to support his teammates in defense. He was the spiritual support for the team in this difficult period.
Youth and experience
In this match, coach Phan Nhu Thuat used a fairly young starting lineup (average age 24.2) and that lineup was even younger when Phan Xuan Dai, Ho Khac Luong or Vuong Van Huy were brought in in the second half. With their youth, the Nghe An players played quite aggressively to create significant pressure on Becamex Binh Duong's goal.
However, the lack of experience in the final situations is noticeable.young players of Song Lam Nghe An. Those were the situations in the penalty area of Tran Manh Quynh or Ngo Van Luong in the first half. Especially the opportunity to face the goalkeeper of Dinh Xuan Tien in the beginning of the second half. These were situations that Song Lam Nghe An players could have handled better if they had a cool head.
In addition, the situation of conceding the second goal of the Nghe An team also shows the lack of experience of the young players in the defense. Obviously, in the new season, the experience of Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Trong Hoang or Pham Xuan Manh is still very important for Song Lam Nghe An. They will be the ones to guide the young players to become more mature to aim for a successful season.
