Song Lam Nghe An only won 1 point after leading Quy Nhon Binh Dinh twice.

Lam River Nghe Anhas gone through the first 4 rounds of the season with quite disappointing results. The home team Vinh has only got 2 points after 4 rounds and is temporarily at the bottom of the rankings.

This situation happened largely due to the weakness in the defense. Therefore, entering the 5th round,Coach Pham Anh Tuandecided to "renew" the defense line. Specifically, central defenders Le Nguyen Hoang and Ho Khac Luong were put on the field right from the start to take on the role of blocking with Zaracho. 3 players Xuan Binh, Quang Vinh, Xuan Tien played in the central midfield position; Van Huy and Long Vu were assigned to play on the wings; Olaha and Kuku were placed highest in the attack line.

In dire need of points, as soon as the ball rolled, the away team proactively pushed up to look for a goal.

And in the 6th minute of the match, Song Lam Nghe An had a chance to open the score when they were awarded a free kick right in front of the opponent's penalty area. However, from a distance of more than 20m, Dinh Xuan Tien's shot could not get past the home team's wall.

3 minutes later,Olahacontinued to create dangerous situations in front of the penalty area of ​​goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh (Binh Dinh), after a header pass from his teammate. However, the kick from the captain of Song Lam Nghe An was inaccurate.

In the 12th minute, Binh Dinh had an answer. From an attack on the left wing, Alisson passed the ball back to Hong Phuoc, but the striker wearing the number 10 shirt was unable to shoot on target due to the fierce pressure of the away team's defenders. Before that, also from an attack on the left wing, the ball was hung by a teammate towards the second post for Santo, but this striker was unable to make the desired header.

In the first 25 minutes of the match, both teams showed their determination when creating a series of counterattacks towards each other's goal. In the 25th minute, Zaracho of Song Lam Nghe An tested the opponent's goalkeeper with a free kick from the right wing. However, goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh predicted the intention of the away team's central defender to shoot and successfully blocked it.

In the last minutes of the first half, the match speed was pushed up quite high, in which, Song Lam Nghe An had a clear scoring opportunity, when Kuku had a pass from the right wing, for Olaha to cut in and score. However, the striker wearing shirt number 7 did not have the desired contact with the ball, so Huynh Tuan Linh's net still did not shake.

In the second half, with the desire to create more ideas in approaching the opponent's goal, coach Pham Anh Tuan decided to bring Trong Tuan and Quang Tu onto the field to replace Dinh Xuan Tien and Xuan Binh. The appearance of this pair helped Song Lam Nghe An create an advantage in the lead. From Kuku's pass, Quang Vinh was there at the right time to fire a low shot that gave substitute goalkeeper Hoai Anh no chance to block.

However, the joy was short-lived, as Binh Dinh immediately brought the match back to the starting line. From a corner kick, the ball bounced to Trong Hieu. This defender made a precise volley to score against Van Viet.

The equalizer created excitement for the home team. The proof was that in the following minutes, Binh Dinh created a series of dangerous opportunities in front of Song Lam Nghe An's goal. Notably, in the 64th minute, Ngoc Tin had a header close to the goal but Van Viet with his excellent reflexes denied the opponent's goal.

Unable to capitalize on their opportunities, Binh Dinh paid the price when Song Lam Nghe An continued to take the lead in the 68th minute. Kuku made an accurate pass for Olaha to jump high and head the ball past goalkeeper Hoai Anh.

The match then took place dramatically when Binh Dinh once again equalized the score, after Long Vu's mistake in the 81st minute. From an attack on the left wing, the opposing player crossed the ball inside, Long Vu approached and let the ball touch his hand. After checking VAR again, the referee pointed to the penalty spot. At a distance of 11m, Alisson easily defeated Van Viet.

In the final minutes of the match, both teams tried hard to find a goal but failed. Therefore, the final score of the match between Binh Dinh and Song Lam Nghe An was 2-2.
