By defeating Dong Thap, SLNA jumped to second place in the standings.

(Baonghean.vn) - Trailing the home team from the 9th minute, but with a dominant and very open style of play, the young SLNA players took control of the game and staged a spectacular comeback to win 3-1 at Cao Lanh Stadium in the 10th round of V.League 2015, which took place at 4 PM this afternoon (April 19).

As many predicted, with the psychological advantage from their victory against HAGL in round 9, despite being the away team, the Nghe An team started the match against the home team Dong Thap with great enthusiasm.

The SLNA players entered the match with very high determination.

Despite being considered the underdog, and being the home team at the bottom of the league table, Dong Thap's coach Pham Cong Loc still played an all-or-nothing game, instructing his players to attack SLNA from the start. This tactic seemed poised to pay off when, in the 9th minute, they scored the opening goal through Minh Hung.

Unexpectedly conceding a goal, the SLNA players played with even more determination. Nguyen Manh, Ngoc Hai, and Manh Hung continuously launched powerful attacks into the opponent's half, allowing Phuc Tinh, Tuan Tai, and Phi Son to take turns disrupting the Dong Thap defense.

In an unlucky afternoon, Phuc Tinh and Tuan Tai missed quite a few good scoring opportunities after being set up perfectly by their teammates' passes.

SLNA was the team that controlled the game.

The match became increasingly exciting. Every time SLNA missed a scoring opportunity, Dong Thap responded with lightning-fast counter-attacks. However, thanks to the alertness of the SLNA defense, Dong Thap's attacks were easily neutralized.

With SLNA dominating the game, in the 57th minute, from a pass from a teammate, Phi Son broke the offside trap and unleashed a powerful shot to equalize the score at 1-1.

The team from Nghe An province had possession of the ball for most of the time.

With the equalizer, the young SLNA players played with renewed enthusiasm, and the Dong Thap defense struggled to fend off the visitors' relentless attacks. Had they not been so wasteful, Phi Son and Tuan Tai could have each scored a few more goals!

Under intense pressure from SLNA's attack, Dong Thap's defense revealed many weaknesses. In the 82nd minute, following a combination play outside the penalty area, The Cuong nimbly poked the ball beyond the reach of goalkeeper Van Buoc, increasing the score to 2-1 for SLNA.

SLNA's diverse attacking plays

With nothing left to lose, Dong Thap surged forward into SLNA's half in search of an equalizer. But they fell into SLNA's counter-attack trap. Just six minutes after coming on as a substitute for Tuan Tai, Phuc Tinh capitalized on a mistake by the Dong Thap defense to extend SLNA's lead to 3-1 in the first minute of added time in the second half.

By securing all three points at Cao Lanh Stadium, the Nghe An team jumped to second place in the standings for the first time, with 20 points after 10 rounds.

SLNA players continue to enjoy the joy of victory.
