Who "cut nails, cut iron"?
(Baonghean) -Ending the match early in round 6 of V.league, with a 1-0 victory over SHB.Da Nang, Nghe An audiences said that this was the home team's best match since the beginning of the tournament.
Before this match, everyone thought that in a situation where there was no way back, SLNA would use their signature move, playing hard to make the opponent falter. However, in reality, the home team did not use the "cutting and cutting iron" move. With their technical style of play, SLNA forced their opponent to use the martial art that they wanted to stop.
The evidence is: in the 41st minute, SHB.Da Nang defenders could not stop K.Bryan's technical moves, forcing him to knock down the player and accept a penalty. Not only that, in the 90th minute, player Duy Lam rushed in with both feet to take down the SLNA striker, referee Hoang Anh Tuan did not hesitate to immediately show a red card. SLNA players with skillful techniques, reasonable running, their attacks satisfied the audience. This match proved who is the "hard-nosed" one!

However, fans also have concerns about SLNA's playing style. Although they do not use a tough style of play, when necessary, SLNA players still use tricks to annoy their opponents. In the final minutes, many time-wasting moves affected the good impression that the home team had created at the beginning of the match. Spectators complained when they saw the home team's striker holding the ball in the dead corner too clearly - even though it was not against the rules.
Defender Au Van Hoan - a player who played quite impressively with his attacks and interceptions, which received applause from the audience, was also shown a second yellow card by the referee for wasting time. Captain Huy Hoang had a good match, except for the foul that led to the penalty. Witnessing those situations, an audience member jokingly said: Huy Hoang is now like SLNA, excellent, but also difficult to understand!
With this victory, Huu Thang once again proved that he is always “better” than Huynh Duc in decisive matches. At the same time, it created a good mentality before SLNA’s away trip to Maldives in the second match of AFC Cup 2011 on March 15.
