(Baonghean.vn) - In a day of underperformance, the Nghe An team suffered a 0-1 defeat against the home team LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai. With this defeat, Song Lam Nghe An was left far behind by other teams on the rankings.

Disappointed

Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team played not too badly in the first 20 minutes of the match. They created a more watchable game than the home team. Among them, we must mention the escape but unsuccessful shot of young striker Phan Xuan Dai.

However, the goal conceded in the 20th minute caused Song Lam Nghe An players to collapse. The Nghe An team could no longer organize many dangerous attacks towards goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung's goal.

Especially the disappointing performance in the second half. In the context of being behind, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team could not create pressure to find an equalizer. The only chance the Nghe team had was a header over the crossbar by midfielder Dang Van Lam.

It can be said that this is one of the most disappointing matches of Song Lam Nghe An this season. They not only lost in terms of score but also in spirit - the strongest weapon under coach Phan Nhu Thuat.

With this defeat, Song Lam Nghe An is still stuck in 13th place. However, the gap with the 12th place team has increased to 5 points. If there are no changes in the upcoming matches, the prospect of having to play Play off or even relegation is inevitable for the Nghe team.

Danger for coach Phan Nhu Thuat

The coach is always partly responsible for a team's poor performance. However, at Song Lam Nghe An, it is difficult to blame coach Phan Nhu Thuat.

With a team that has young domestic players, average and weak foreign players, and even has to accept "Westerners", it is difficult for a world-famous coach to bring good results to the Nghe An team.

However, if this disappointing streak continues, there will be someone to take the blame. That person can only be coach Phan Nhu Thuat. Therefore, if the performance in the upcoming rounds cannot be improved, this 40-year-old coach will most likely lose his seat, an outcome that Nghe An fans do not want.

LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai is a role model for Song Lam Nghe An

At the beginning of this season, LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai played extremely poorly when they did not know the taste of victory in 7 matches. But since coach Vu Tien Thanh took over, the team from the mountain town has completely transformed. They are on an 8-match unbeaten streak with 4 wins and 4 draws, thereby rising to 10th place on the rankings.

To achieve that achievement, coach Vu Tien Thanh has changed LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai's playing style a lot. Instead of playing with dedication and beauty, Mr. Duc's team is willing to play pragmatically and cunningly to bring about good results. The victories against Dong A Thanh Hoa, The Cong Viettel or Song Lam Nghe An are the clearest proof of the effectiveness of these changes. Therefore, LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai is an example for Nghe An teams to follow in the remaining stages of the season.

The 0-1 loss to LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai has made Song Lam Nghe An fall into a more difficult situation in the relegation race. But the Nghe team needs to quickly forget this defeat to be ready for the next matches. For them, every match at this time is a final and only by fighting 100% of their strength can they get the best results to keep their hope alive in this fierce relegation race./.
