Highlights of Song Lam Nghe An's victory over Hai Phong Club
Dinh Xuan Tien's only goal helped Song Lam Nghe An gain an important victory over the Hai Phong team. This victory helped the Nghe An team make great leaps in the V.League rankings.
Third consecutive victory at Vinh stadium
Given the importance of the match, both teams played quite cautiously. Therefore, not many opportunities were created on Vinh Stadium.
However, one of those few opportunities wasMidfielder Dinh Xuan Tienconcretized by the only goal of the match in the last minutes of the first half.
This goal helped Song Lam Nghe An get their 3rd consecutive victory at Vinh Stadium (2 in V.League and 1 in National Cup). This is the first time since July 2022 that the Nghe team has had 3 consecutive victories at home.
This victory also helped the Nghe An team surpass Hai Phong Club on the rankings and be more confident in the fierce relegation race.
Coach Phan Nhu Thuat has found the "standard formula"?
In the last match,Coach Phan Nhu ThuatMichael Olaha was unexpectedly benched. Instead, the "homegrown" trio Manh Quynh - Xuan Tien - Long Vu supported Benjamin Kuku.
This change was effective when Tran Manh Quynh and Dinh Xuan Tien were the ones who created the only goals of the match. Le Dinh Long Vu also almost had his first goal in V.League if he had been luckier.
Thus, in 4 matches with an attack of 3 domestic + 1 foreign, Song Lam Nghe An had 3 wins and 1 draw. It seems that coach Phan Nhu Thuat has found the "standard formula" to help the Nghe team improve their performance.
Where is coach Chu Dinh Nghiem?
Previously, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's teams were always famous for their ball control and short and medium range passing style of play.
However, this season, fans no longer see this from Hai Phong Club. The team from the port city mainly uses long passes and crosses to take advantage of the strength of foreign strikers.
In round 12 of V.League, 2 good crosses helped the Hai Phong team win 2-0 against Ho Chi Minh City Club.
However, in the last match, the excellence of Le Van Thanh, especially center back Sebastian Zaracho, made Hai Phong Club's crosses ineffective, thereby having to accept a loss against the home team Song Lam Nghe An.
It can be said that if coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team does not improve their playing style, Hai Phong Club may be in danger this season.
The fate of Dinh Xuan Tien
Midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien was the first player to score at Vinh Stadium in 2025 in the match against SHB Da Nang in the National Cup. Dinh Xuan Tien was also the first player to score for Song Lam Nghe An in the year of At Ty. Both of these goals helped the Nghe team gain important victories.
In addition, the most recent goal Dinh Xuan Tien scored in V.League was also the goal against Hai Phong Club. That was the opening goal in the 2-2 draw at Lach Tray Stadium.
It can be said that Dinh Xuan Tien's fate in 2025 and before Hai Phong Club contributed to...Lam River Nghe Angot an important victory against the Hai Phong team.
