In addition, we must also give praise to striker Phan Duy Hao. This young striker has a very modern playing style. Phan Duy Hao's opening goal is a worthy result of the efforts of this player born in 2004.

However, the attacking players of U21 Song Lam Nghe An need to take advantage of the opportunities they have. Because the next matches will be very difficult and wasting good opportunities will make the home team pay the price.

Coach Pham Anh Tuan still has a lot to do

In addition to improving the effectiveness of offensive players,Coach Pham Anh Tuanmust also strengthen the defense of the Nghe An youth team.

In the last match, there were times when the U21 Song Lam Nghe An defense appeared confused and made some mistakes. The goal conceded in the 70th minute was a proof. In addition, if it weren't for the lack of luck from the home team's attackers, the young Nghe An team might not have been able to win the opening match.

In addition, the fact that young players of Song Lam Nghe An received unnecessary yellow cards is also a concern for fans. Phan Duy Hao and Le Dinh Long Vu received undeserved yellow cards one after another. In particular, young player Le Tan Dung received a second yellow card after the referee blew the whistle to end the match.

To go deep in this year's final round, the U21 Song Lam Nghe An Coaching Board still has a lot of work to do with their students.

Hopefully, the more they compete, the more mature the young players of Song Lam Nghe An will become, thereby helping the home team achieve good results in this year's final round.

The match between U21 Song Lam Nghe An and U21 PVF-CAND will take place at 3:30 p.m. on July 21 at Long Tam Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City.
