Notable numbers of SLNA at V.League 2020
(Baonghean.vn) - The 2020 season has officially ended for coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team after a 1-1 draw against DNH Nam Dinh, which took place yesterday afternoon (October 31). Let's take a look at some of SLNA's notable numbers at V.League 2020 with Nghe An Newspaper.
0 - SLNA players did not receive a single red card from the main referees at V.League 2020. For another season, the Nghe An team showed the spirit of "fair-play" in their matches. It is not an exaggeration to say that, in the V.League, not many teams can do as well as SLNA, including HAGL or Hanoi Club.
1 - Le Thanh Lam is the only SLNA player who did not play a single minute. I wonder why in the recent "procedural" matches, the SLNA coaching staff did not give the central defender from Thai Hoa town a chance? Thus, the player born in 2000 has spent the second consecutive season sitting on the bench.

2 - The number of times SLNA was awarded a penalty in V.League 2020. The player assigned to take both penalties was Phan Van Duc, who only successfully took one, with a goal against SHB Da Nang (round 3). In the remaining shot, Duc "tiger" was unable to defeat HAGL goalkeeper Tran Buu Ngoc (round 12).

4 - These are the foreign players who played for SLNA in both phase 1 and phase 2 of V.League 2020. Gustavo Santos and Peter Onyekachi played the entire season, while Felipe Martins replaced Alagie Sosseh, whose contract was not renewed by SLNA in the mid-season transfer window. Overall, SLNA's foreign players this season have not met expectations.

6 -Is the number of wins of coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team in V.League 2020. After 18 rounds, the Nghe An team has defeated B.Binh Duong, SHB Da Nang, Hanoi FC, HAGL, Quang Nam and Hai Phong. A very modest achievement for the Vinh team.
10. SLNA's position in V.League 2020. With 23 points and a goal difference of -4, coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team had to finish in 10th place, even though they had the same number of points as SHB Da Nang (the Han River team had the same 23 points, but had a goal difference of +4). Compared to V.League 2019, the Nghe An team had a much worse performance. Last season, SLNA finished 7th overall.
17 - Is the number of goals scored by SLNA in V.League 2020. According to statistics, the performance of the Nghe An team's strikers is only 4th in group B, 1 and 2 goals more than Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong respectively. Obviously, SLNA's attack line with the presence of Phan Van Duc, had a very forgettable season.
21 -The number of times SLNA goalkeepers had to pick the ball out of the net in V.League 2020. Thanks to the excellence of the players in the defense, especially goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang, SLNA had the fewest goals conceded in group B. Don't forget, the Nghe An team did not have the service of center back and captain Hoang Van Khanh for quite a long time.
