Letting the opponent dribble past many people is a clear sign of the problem of team distance and pressure on the ball carrier.

Form and goal context

SLNA was excited after a 2-1 victory over Becamex TP.HCM, temporarily rising to 9th place in the V-League. Their home form in Vinh was also positive, having won against TX Nam Dinh and drawn with CAHN. This was SLNA's opening match in the National Cup this season, with the goal of reaching the quarter-finals for the second consecutive time. Last season, SLNA reached the final and won the runner-up position.

On the other hand, SHB Da Nang is currently at the bottom of the table after a 1-3 defeat to Hai Phong at Lach Tray. They drew 1-1 with SLNA in the first leg of the V-League at Hoa Xuan Stadium, but playing away at the "fire pan" Vinh is disadvantageous. In a difficult situation, the Han River team is expected to play pragmatically, ready to drag the match into a penalty shootout if necessary.
