Highlights of the Thanh - Nghe Derby

Continue to regret

Although having a pretty bad head-to-head record in the Thanh Nghe Derby,Lam River Nghe Antook an early lead in the 2nd minute thanks to midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc.

However, once again, the Nghe An team could not preserve the victory when in a chaotic situation, Lucas Ribamar quickly tapped the ball into an empty net to equalize for the home team.

With this draw, Song Lam Nghe An still cannot have their first away win this season. At the same time, it extended the winless streak against Dong A Thanh Hoa to 11 matches.

However, this draw is also commendable for the Nghe An players as they tried their best on a rainy day in Thanh Hoa.

The disastrous rain

Heavy rain in Thanh Hoa caused the Thanh Nghe Derby to be interrupted in the first half. At the same time, it also significantly reduced the quality of the match. There were not many notable coordination situations, instead there were long balls and individual efforts.

This heavy rain also wore down the players' strength, causing some players to suffer injuries. Notably, Yago Ramos of the home team and Sebastian Zaracho of Song Lam Nghe An had to leave the field early.

Hopefully these players will recover soon to continue making important contributions to their home teams for the rest of the season.

Ho Khac Ngoc continues to prove his important role.

Since arriving at Song Lam Nghe An in the mid-season transfer window, midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc has quickly integrated and played a very important role in the midfield of the Nghe An team.

This midfielder wearing the number 32 shirt not only brings flexibility to the playing style of Song Lam Nghe An, but is also a fearsome weapon in the midfield of the Nghe An team. Goal scoredEast Asia Thanh Hoais proof of Ho Khac Ngoc's precision from position selection to finishing.

After 9 appearances for his hometown team, the 32-year-old midfielder has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists, helping Song Lam Nghe An improve their performance significantly. Hopefully, Ho Khac Ngoc will continue to have excellent performances to help the Nghe An team successfully stay in the league this season.

Unpredictable relegation race

With Quy Nhon Binh Dinh winning at Quang Nam Club, while Song Lam Nghe An only got a draw and Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost at Hang Day Stadium, the relegation race has become more fierce and unpredictable than ever.

The gap between teams is now very fragile, 7/14 teams are trying their best to escape relegation or play off. And just a small mistake can make the clubs pay for the whole season.

Therefore, the remaining phase ofV.Leaguewill witness many exciting matches as the relegation race and the championship race are still very hot.
