Tactical analysis: SHB Da Nang launches a direct attack.
From the opening goal, it's clear that SHB Da Nang proactively exploited the space along the midfield with fast-paced breakthroughs. SLNA needs to tighten up their defensive line to reduce one-on-one situations and prevent opponents from penetrating the defense. Allowing opponents to dribble past multiple players is a clear indicator of the problem with team spacing and pressure on the ball-carrying player.

Context, form, and goals
SLNA are in high spirits after their 2-1 victory over Becamex TP.HCM, temporarily moving them up to 9th place in the V-League. Their home form in Vinh is also positive, having previously beaten TX Nam Dinh and drawn with CAHN. This is SLNA's opening match in this season's National Cup, with the goal of reaching the quarter-finals for the second consecutive time. Last season, SLNA reached the final and finished as runners-up.
Conversely, SHB Da Nang is currently at the bottom of the table after a 1-3 defeat against Hai Phong at Lach Tray Stadium. They previously drew 1-1 with SLNA in the first leg of the V-League at Hoa Xuan Stadium, but playing away at the "cauldron" of Vinh is a disadvantage. In this difficult situation, the team from the Han River is expected to play pragmatically, ready to take the match to a penalty shootout if necessary.
