Fortunately, in the upcoming match, "evil spirit" Rimario Gordon will be absent due to injury. Because, the Jamaican striker has scored 4 goals against Song Lam Nghe An in the confrontations. However, the defenders of the Nghe team still have to be vigilant against strikers like Luiz Antônio and Ribamar.
