Highlights of the SLNA - HAGL match: Van Duc overshadows Cong Phuong and Van Toan
(Baonghean.vn) - The match between SLNA and HAGL at Vinh Stadium took place as expected by football fans across the country. And once again, the team from the mountain town had to leave Nghe An with regret.
Two goals from Pham Xuan Manh and Phan Van Duc helped the home teamSLNAdefeated HAGL convincingly right at Vinh Stadium. Here are the highlights after the excellent performance of Coach Huy Hoang's students.
Phan Van Duc continues to score super goals
Finally, what Nghe An football fans have been waiting for the most has happened, Phan Van Duc opened fire in V.League 2022. And more specifically, it was not a normal goal, as Duc 'tiger' continued his habit of scoring super goals. It seems that the cannon fire that burned the opponent's net has been eaten into the footwork of each finishing move of the star born in 1996.

Another SLNA national player who also scored on Vinh Stadium today was Pham Xuan Manh. Also wearing the number 7 shirt and playing on the left wing, Xuan Manh tore through Tuan Linh's net with a high jump header, something that immediately reminded people of Cristiano Ronaldo. The person who crossed the ball for Manh 'Kalou' to score was none other than Phan Van Duc.
Nguyen Van Bach - new warrior of coach Huy Hoang
Nguyen Van Bach is certainly still a strange name, even to many SLNA fans. Only 19 years old this year, wearing the number 29 shirt, but Van Bach has been trusted by coach Huy Hoang, for the first time given a starting position in the SLNA first team in the 2022 season, starting in the position of a defensive midfielder, playing alongside foreign player Ojong Mark.
And Van Bach showed that it was no coincidence that he received the trust of the head coach. True to Nghe's nature, the 19-year-old star played with passion, playing the role of a midfield cleaner, making Cong Phuong, Minh Vuong,... almost disappear from the field. In Van Duc's goal, it was Van Bach who had a beautiful long pass for Olaha to make a wall.
If nothing changes, Van Bach and Ojong will become coach Huy Hoang's most favorite pair of midfielders after the duo together suffocated HAGL's midfield.
SLNA foreign players are better than HAGL
Foreign players have always been a problem for HAGL in recent years. Last season, coach Kiatisak helped the attack of the mountain town team soar with striker Brandao and the solid defense of Kim Dong Su. However, today, Brandao was helpless against the home team's uncomfortable 5-man defense. Meanwhile, Kim Dong Su and HAGL's other foreign center back, Mauricio, were constantly tormented by the foreign striker pair Olaha and Oseni of SLNA.

HAGL and SLNA are both considered to be championship candidates this season. However, the difference in the V-League championship race has always been the quality of foreign players. And after this match, perhaps SLNA can be somewhat assured on the road ahead.
HAGL still cannot open goal account in V.League 2022
On the march to Vinh stadium, the worst thing that the fans of the Mountain City could think of happened. Cong Phuong and his teammates returned home with a defeat and could not score even once against Van Hoang.
Previously, in the first two rounds, HAGL was unable to score against Nam Dinh and Hong Linh Ha Tinh, thereby having to accept two disappointing goalless draws.

Thus, after the first 3 rounds of V-League 2022, HAGL still cannot open their goal account. The obsession for Cong Phuong, Van Toan and Coach Kiatisak in the task of scoring goals will continue to haunt them for at least 1 more week.
Continuing the bad statistics at Vinh stadium
Since the Cong Phuong generation was promoted to the first team to compete in the V-League, HAGL has lost all 6 times they have visited Vinh Stadium. Today's defeat is the 7th consecutive time.
Previously, the last time HAGL visited SLNA's Vinh Stadium in the 2019 season, they suffered a humiliating defeat with a score of 0-3. Ho Tuan Tai, Nguyen Quang Tinh and Michael Olaha were the ones who scored that day.
In the 2021 season, HAGL, with their excellent form, won 2-1 against SLNA. But this was the victory of Kiatisuk and his team at Pleiku Stadium. Last season, SLNA and HAGL did not face each other at Vinh Stadium because the second leg of the tournament was canceled due to the tense epidemic situation.
