SLNA dropped its first victory in V.League

Taking the initiative to play fast from the beginning of the match, however, SLNA revealed gaps in defense. In the 17th minute, from a chaotic situation in front of SLNA's goal, midfielder Mac Hong Quan had a beautiful tap-in from outside the penalty area, helping the away team Than Quang Ninh take the lead.

In the 28th minute, Quang Ninh made an unexpected substitution after goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh suffered a serious injury after blocking the ball right at the feet of SLNA striker Osmar. He was replaced by reserve goalkeeper Nguyen Hoai Anh. This was also the moment when the match fell apart due to fouls from both sides.

In the 35th and 39th minutes, Que Ngoc Hai and Michael Olaha both had clear opportunities but could not capitalize on them. At this point, the game began to tilt in favor of the home team.

Right at the 45th minute, skillfully handling a series of Quang Ninh defenders, midfielder Khac Ngoc, who had just been called up to the national team, made an accurate pass, helping foreign striker Osmar rush forward to score a goal to equalize 1-1 for SLNA.

Before the end of the first half, midfielder Phan Van Duc once again caused trouble for the away team's goalkeeper. The young SLNA player unleashed a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball hit the goal post of Than Quang Ninh Club.

When the second half had only started for 5 minutes, SLNA played brilliantly and scored the second goal against the away team. Seizing the opportunity from a mistake by a Than Quang Ninh defender, foreign player Osmar dribbled the ball close to the sideline and then made a pass for Olaha to score, helping SLNA take the lead 2-1.

Immediately after The Cuong entered the field to replace Ngoc Duc, SLNA changed their formation. Xuan Manh was moved from midfielder to left back to support Van Duc up front.

Before they had warmed up on the pitch, The Cuong had the first chance to increase the gap. After that, Phan Van Duc and Olaha both had chances to score. Unfortunately, the Nghe An team still did not have any more goals.

Having taken the lead but after failing to take advantage of their chances, SLNA's performance slowed down and this was the moment when the home team's defense continued to lose focus.

In the 75th minute, defender Nguyen Thanh Hien, unmarked, fired a close-range shot to help Quang Ninh tie the score 2-2.

With about 10 minutes left in the match, Ho Tuan Tai came on to replace injured foreign player Osmar. Not only did they not score an equalizer, SLNA's defense was also put in difficult situations several times.

The match was given 2 minutes of extra time, not enough for the hopes of coach Duc Thang and his team. Although SLNA strikers had many times had dangerous shots right in front of Quang Ninh's goal in an open position.

In the end, SLNA tied Than Quang Ninh 2-2, much to the regret of Nghe An fans. After round 3 of V.League, SLNA and other V.League teams temporarily stopped to make room for the national team. In round 4, SLNA visited FLC Thanh Hoa on March 31.
