Speaking after the match, Coach Quang Truong said: “After 3 years of returning, there are things that give me a lot of emotions. Although the match was greatly affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, the match gave me a feeling that is hard to describe. Compared to the first match, the whole SLNA team had better communication and connection with each other. We created many opportunities and converted them into goals."

Besides, SLNA head coach did not forget to praise the player who scored the only goal of the match: “Phan Van Duc has been my student since he was 13 years old, I understood him, his desire, especially after a long year of sitting out due to injury. The way Phan Van Duc performed on the field proved the qualities he has”.
Commenting on the performance of SLNA captain in this match, coach Quang Truong said: “When Hoang Van Khanh was trusted by the whole team and SLNA coaching board to wear the captain’s armband, not only in this match, but also in the previous match he showed what he has. We really hope that Van Khanh can promote the role of captain on the field.”
“In terms of physical strength, SLNA has combined some veterans like Dinh Dong, Quang Tinh, with a squad of young, eager, reckless players and their playing style makes me very satisfied. I always put my trust in them, we will gradually improve.

They have grown up in youth tournaments up to the First Division. Wearing the SLNA shirt is the pride of any player. With young players like Dang Van Lam, I believe that they will not lose their ability, confidence and will do better in the next matches", SLNA head coach assessed the performance of the young players.
Coach Quang Truong also talked about the case of goalkeeper Van Hoang and how he used Ho Tuan Tai in recent matches: “Today, goalkeeper Van Hoang did not concede a goal, that is the success of a goalkeeper. The saves on the field have answered what Van Hoang has shown.
Ho Tuan Tai plays on the wing, last season he also played there, got injured but still scored 8-9 goals. The most important thing is the ability to switch positions between winger and striker.

Coach Nguyen Thanh Son said: "We are very sorry that in the second half, Binh Duong conceded a goal from a free kick. If it were true, the two teams would have drawn because the pitch was quite bad, so the goal only came from a set piece. However, the match became more and more exciting as the match progressed.
The rain and slippery pitch made it difficult for us to develop our game plan and forced us to play more long balls. Phan Van Duc has just returned but he will gradually regain his form. He is an important player for SLNA and I believe in his ability to return to the national team."
