Highlights of Song Lam Nghe An's draw with Hanoi Club

Surprised

With the starting lineup without striker Phan Van Duc, it was thought that the Nghe An team would proactively play low and wait for a counter-attack opportunity. However, Song Lam Nghe An actively pressed the visitors. This style of play somewhat confused the Hanoi players. From a quick attack, Mario had an accurate cross for Dinh Hoang to open the score. Once again, Song Lam Nghe Anscored the opening goalwhen the match had not passed the 10th minute.

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 of the quality attack of Hanoi Club. In the rare time he was on the field, goalkeeper Tran Van Tien played excellently when he blocked at least 3 good chances ofCapital football teamBesides, Song Lam Nghe An defenders also had situations to move up to join the attack. One of those situations brought about 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 Song Lam Nghe An players. It seems that in the first minutes of the match, Hanoi players were also overwhelmed by the enthusiastic cheering of Nghe An fans. 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 score 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 balance 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, the missed shot in the 39th minute or the situation of hitting 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 the score, proactively playing low to wait for counter-attack opportunities; Directing the defense to play aggressively and having situations to raise the pitch 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.

Unfortunately, the bad luck in the attack and the quality of the Hanoi Club's squad caused the Nghe An team to only get a draw. This draw is also an encouraging result for coach Huy Hoang and his team in the upcoming journey of V.League 2022.
