Squandering opportunities, U.15 SLNA had to pay a heavy price

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of August 24, in An Giang, the National U15 Finals - Thai Son Bac Cup 2016 took place in the first round of group BU15. SLNA was held to a draw by Khanh Hoa, although coach Le Van Hung's students were the ones who had the early advantage of leading.

During the match, U.15 SLNA players (red shirts) continuously suffered from muscle strain and did not play at their best against U.15 Khanh Hoa.

Rated higher than Khanh Hoa and in fact, U.15 SLNA took the initiative to impose their playing style right after the opening whistle. After a few missed opportunities, in the 15th minute, the Nghe team scored a goal with a diagonal shot from Tu Huy from the left wing.

Breaking the deadlock, U.15 SLNA continued to push forward and created many scoring opportunities towards Khanh Hoa's goal. However, on a day of weak finishing by Ngo Van Luong and his teammates, U.15 SLNA could not score more goals to widen the safety gap.

Minh Nhut's valuable goal for Khanh Hoa (in yellow shirt) caused U.15 SLNA to lose their first victory.

Squandering their chances, U.15 SLNA was forced to pay a heavy price against U.15 Khanh Hoa. Playing completely outclassed, the coastal city team could barely create any problems towards goalkeeper Nguyen Van Ba's goal. However, in a rare attack in the 78th minute, U.15 Khanh Hoa found a valuable equalizer. From a pass from the right wing, substitute player Minh Nhut headed the ball, bringing home a valuable point for the home team.

With only one point in the opening match, coach Le Van Hung and his team must focus all their efforts on the decisive match against U.15 PVF in the second round taking place on August 26.
