Memorable points in Song Lam Nghe An's draw at Lach Tray Stadium
(Baonghean.vn) - Michael Olaha's penalty goal helped Song Lam Nghe An earn a valuable point away from Lach Tray Stadium. This was a good result for coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team.
Lucky for Song Lam Nghe An
On a not so great day of competition, only luck helped.Lam River Nghe Anleft Lach Tray stadium with 1 point.
Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team did not play well because the defense was not tight enough to give the home team's attackers many dangerous opportunities. Two of those were successfully used by striker Joseph Mpande to defeat goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. If it were not for the brilliance of this 22-year-old goalkeeper, the number of goals conceded by the Nghe An team would not have stopped at just two.
On the other hand, Song Lam Nghe An's attack also lacked the necessary coordination. There were many situations where the Nghe An team developed the ball freely, but in the final stages, they lacked rationality, causing the opportunity to pass regrettably.
However, on a day when luck was on Song Lam Nghe An's side, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's players were still able to find the home team's net twice. That was Dinh Xuan Tien's "slightly deep" free kick that left goalkeeper Dinh Trieu helpless. Or Huu Son's "unlucky" handball situation that helped Song Lam Nghe An get a penalty kick.
It can be said that coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team was lucky to leave Hai Phong with a draw. With this draw, Song Lam Nghe An ended a series of 3 consecutive defeats at Lach Tray Stadium.
1249 days for the first penalty
For the first time in 1249 days, Song Lam Nghe An was awarded a penalty kick in the V.League. The last time the Nghe An team was awarded a penalty kick was in round 12 of the 2020 V.League, in the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai. However, unfortunately, Phan Van Duc was unable to successfully execute it.
In the match againstHai Phong ClubRecently, while Song Lam Nghe An was struggling to find an equalizer, the ball touched Huu Son's hand in the penalty area, helping the away team to get a penalty kick. At the 11m mark, Michael Olaha made no mistake, helping the Nghe An team get a valuable draw.
Fed up with Raphael Success
In another match, Raphael Success disappointed Nghe An fans. After 64 minutes on the field, the only thing this Nigerian striker left behind was a missed opportunity in the 17th minute. This was a situation where Raphael Success was indecisive, causing the opportunity to pass by regrettably.
Not only did he miss his chances, the communication between the striker wearing the number 70 shirt and his teammates on the attack line was almost non-existent. Raphael Success's lack of coordination caused many of Song Lam Nghe An's attacks to be "out of sync". Therefore, if Raphael Success does not improve his performance in time, it will be difficult for him to have a place in the Nghe An team's squad. Because young strikers like Ngo Van Luong or Phan Xuan Dai have been playing very well recently.
The draw with Hai Phong Club at Lach Tray Stadium is an encouraging result for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team. This result will help Song Lam Nghe An players be more confident when welcoming championship candidate Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in the next round./.
