SLNA closes the chance to win a medal
(Baonghean.vn) - After the 0-1 loss at Vinh Stadium to direct rival FLC Thanh Hoa, SLNA's chance to win a medal seems to have closed. With a 4-point gap with FLC Thanh Hoa, while there are only 2 rounds left in V-League 2018, SLNA's chances are not much.
They are no longer strangers to each other, and this is the fourth time they have met this season. However, the recent rain in Vinh City has forced the coaching staff of both teams to adjust their playing style.

Meanwhile, Trong Hoang entered the field, making SLNA's Ngoc Duc quite difficult. This player from Nghe An has a good physical foundation, so he often has runs on the right wing.
It cannot be said that SLNA players lacked determination, even players Ngoc Duc, Lynch Jermie, The Cuong, Vo Ngoc Toan played aggressively, tackled the ball quite hard, accepting the yellow card. Young center back Van Khanh, in his return, marked Rimario quite well. But against FLC Thanh Hoa, which has many brave and experienced players, losing right at home is not too surprising. Midfielders Khac Ngoc and Sy Sam were present in time to defend against Rimario and Pape Omar's attacks. The coaching staff and Thanh players had a good match and deservedly won 3 points against SLNA at Vinh Stadium.
It is quite interesting that the opponents of both FLC Thanh Hoa and SLNA are Ho Chi Minh City and S.Khanh Hoa. If they continue to win against Ho Chi Minh City at home, FLC Thanh Hoa will surely be in 3rd place, and even threaten S.Khanh Hoa's position if they lose to the Nghe An team. In such a context and the fact that SLNA often finds it difficult to get points at S.Khanh Hoa's field, it can be said that the chance of a medal for the Nghe An team has closed after this match.
