(Baonghean.vn) - Playing in the starting lineup for the second time at the AFC Cup 2018, striker Ho Tuan Tai continues to leave a big disappointment. Meanwhile, although playing in the left-back position, the range of activities and efficiency that Pham Xuan Manh brings are very commendable.
Meeting in the third round, SLNA took the field with the familiar 4-4-2 formation while Persija Jakarta entered the match quite cautiously with a 4-5-1 formation and only placed center forward Marko Simic up front.
In the first half, SLNA players had 8 shots while their opponents had 10. In the second half, despite playing with one less player, the Nghe An team still had 17 shots on Persija Jakarta's goal.
Illustration of the shots made in this match. In his first start, goalkeeper Tran Van Tien had 4 accurate saves for SLNA.
The heat map reflects the range of activity of the two teams.
In this match, midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc continued to be the best player of the match. He had 78 touches, 51 successful passes, a successful pass rate of 70.6% and 3 passes to put his teammates in a finishing position.
Michael Olaha was as usual, playing extremely aggressively and operating widely with 67 touches, 38 passes, a pass completion rate of 84.2% and 2 shots.
Striker Ho Tuan Tai only had 2 shots and none were on target, with a successful pass rate of 76.5%.
Phan Van Duc was the player who had the most shots on SLNA with 5, only one on target, 62 touches, 43 passes, and a successful pass rate of 86%. Notably, he put his teammates in situations where they could shoot 5 times. Pham Xuan Manh was also very effective with 3 shots, 2 assists, 85 touches, and 51 passes, respectively.
Marko Simic, the most dangerous striker on the Indonesian team, despite being tightly controlled by Van Khanh and Ngoc Hai, still had 7 shots, 1 on target, but could not defeat goalkeeper Tran Van Tien.
However, this result still helps SLNA maintain the top position with 2 wins and 1 draw, without conceding a goal in the goalkeeper crisis. Photo: AFC
