3 – The number of away wins of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team in V.League 2019. The “victims” of the Nghe An team were SHB Da Nang (0-2), Sanna Khanh Hoa (1-4) and B.Binh Duong (1-5). A rather modest achievement for Tran Nguyen Manh and his teammates.
4 – The total number of foreign players playing for SLNA in V.League 2019.In addition to the “old man” Olaha, there are also Memovic, Alves dos Santos and Vinicius. Because Alves dos Santos did not prove much in the first leg, SLNA’s Board of Directors borrowed Vinicius from Ho Chi Minh City Club to supplement for the second leg.
5 – The number of times coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team won 3 points at Vinh Stadium in V.League 2019.The losers at the "Thanh Vinh fire pit" are Quang Nam, B.Binh Duong, HAGL, Thanh Hoa and Viettel.

7 – The final position of the Nghe An team at V.League 2019.Compared to last season, SLNA is 3 places lower (in V.League 2018, SLNA finished in 4th place). However, this is an acceptable achievement for the Vinh team in the context of a series of injured players, typically Phan Van Duc.
10 – Number of SLNA players scoring in V.League 2019.Leading the way are Ho Tuan Tai (8 goals), Olaha (5 goals), Vinicius (5 goals), Ho Khac Ngoc (4 goals), Nguyen Quang Tinh (3 goals), Ho Phuc Tinh (2 goals), Vo Ngoc Toan, Pham Xuan Manh, Cao Xuan Thang, Memovic (1 goal each).

26 – The number of times Tran Nguyen Manh and Tran Van Tien had to pick the ball out of the net.With a rate of conceding 1 goal/match, SLNA is the team with the most solid defense in V.League 2019. Obviously, the departure of Que Ngoc Hai does not affect the defense ability of the Vinh team much.
32 – Total number of goals scored by SLNA in V.League 2019. The achievement of Ho Tuan Tai and his teammates is only 1 goal more than the relegated team Sanna Khanh Hoa and 28 goals less than the defending champion - Hanoi Club.
