Highlights of Song Lam Nghe An's draw at Lach Tray Stadium

1 valuable point

Visiting Lach Tray Stadium has never been easy for the Nghe An team. In the last 4 away matches at Hai Phong Club Stadium,Lam River Nghe Anonly got 1 point

Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat directed his players to enter the game with a defensive counter-attacking style of play to limit the danger from the home team.

This tactic was somewhat effective when the concentration of Song Lam Nghe An's defense made the dangerous attacks of the Hai Phong team only stop at the opportunity level. Besides, the Nghe An team also occasionally organized remarkable counter-attacks towards goalkeeper Dinh Trieu's goal.

Unfortunately, on a day when luck turned its back, both Hai Phong Club and Song Lam Nghe An could not find a goal.

With this goalless draw,Nghe An football teamhave yet to get their first away win of the season. However, this is an extremely valuable point for coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team in the context of the fierce and intense relegation race.

10 points for Nguyen Van Viet

After a few matches with a decline in performance, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet has gradually regained his peak form in recent rounds, helping Song Lam Nghe An avoid many obvious goals.

In the last match, the goalkeeper from Tan Ky had no less than 5 excellent reflexes to block dangerous opportunities from the team from Hai Phong. Along with that, the effective support from the crossbar and the goalpost also helped the team from Nghe An keep the net safe, thereby, getting 1 point away from Lach Tray stadium.

It can be said that Nguyen Van Viet was one of the most impressive players in this match. With such excellent performances, the goalkeeper born in 2002 deserves a full 10.

"The Faulty Link" Benjamin Kuku

In the defensive counter-attacking game, Benjamin Kuku is expected to play an important role in the Nghe An team's attacks. However, the last match was a bad day for the striker wearing the number 10 shirt. Benjamin Kuku could not find a connection with his teammates to create effective coordination.

Typically, there were two situations where Le Dinh Long Vu escaped down the right wing, but Kuku did not make overlapping passes but instead made inaccurate crosses.

The ineffectiveness in the play caused Kuku to be replaced in the second half, giving way to Dinh Xuan Tien. The midfielder wearing the number 9 shirt played quite aggressively when entering the field and almost caused Bicou Bissainthe to receive a red card.

If Benjamin Kuku continues to maintain his current poor form, he will most likely have to get used to the bench and face the risk of not having his contract renewed when the season ends.

The Day of the Crossbar and the Post

This was an unlucky day for the strikers. Fred Friday, Nguyen Huu Son and Ho Minh Di were on the side.Hai Phong Clubwere denied goals by the crossbar and the post. Meanwhile, striker Michael Olaha of the Nghe An team also had a "double" against the post after a beautiful free kick in the 25th minute.

It can be said that on a day when the crossbar and the goalposts were working at full capacity, it was completely understandable that the strikers of both teams could not score.
