The defense continues to play well.
Despite the absence of goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang, the defense continued to be the mainstay of Song Lam Nghe An. Playing aggressively and covering each other well helped limit the danger posed by the quality attack of Hanoi Club. In the rare time he was on the field, goalkeeper Tran Van Tien played excellently, blocking at least 3 good chances fromCapital football teamBesides, Song Lam Nghe An defenders also had situations where they advanced to join the attack. One of those situations led to the opening goal by defender Tran Dinh Hoang.
Vinh Stadium on fire
It can be said that the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Hanoi Club was the match with the most spectators since the beginning of the season at Vinh Stadium. 16,000 fans created a passionate atmosphere, giving strength to the Song Lam Nghe An players. It seems that in the first minutes of the match, the Hanoi players were also overwhelmed by the enthusiastic cheers of the Nghe An audience. If they continue to play well in the upcoming matches, Vinh Stadium will still be one of the stadiums with the most spectators in the country.
Pham Xuan Manh is so good
Although defender Dinh Hoang opened the scoring in this match, the best player of the match must certainly be midfielder Pham Xuan Manh. Present at every hot spot on the field, it seemed that Manh Kalou alone was able to handle the entire midfield of Hanoi Club. The way the midfielder from Yen Thanh raced with defender Doan Van Hau in the final minutes of the match spoke volumes about this player's enthusiasm. With what he has shown in recent matches at V.League 2022, Pham Xuan Manh deserves to be on the upcoming training list of the Vietnam National Team.

Oseni continues to be unlucky
In this match, Oseni continued to play from the start. As usual, he played very enthusiastically in the attack. He was the one who initiated the situation that led to Dinh Hoang's goal. However, this was also a match in which this Nigerian striker played quite unluckily, with a missed shot in the 39th minute or a situation where the ball hit the crossbar in the 60th minute, causing Song Lam Nghe An to miss the opportunity to double the gap. This match was the 6th consecutive match in which Oseni could not score.
Reasonable tactics of coach Huy Hoang
With the absence of goalkeeper Van Hoang and the not really good physical condition of striker Phan Van Duc,Coach Huy Hoangcame up with reasonable tactics in this match: Taking the lead to create a surprise for Hanoi Club at the beginning of the match, after having the advantage of leading, proactively playing low and waiting for counter-attack opportunities; Directing the defense to play fiercely and having situations to move up to trap offside to limit the danger of the capital team's attack. It can be said that this is one of the best matches of Song Lam Nghe An since the beginning of V.League 2022.
