Therefore, the match between Vinh and Quang Nam in round 19 of V.League 2024/2025 is considered one of the "6-point" confrontations.

Despite the extremely important match, Song Lam Nghe An faced a big disadvantage when the mainstay center back Zaracho was injured and could not participate. Faced with that obstacle, coach Phan Nhu Thuat was forced to use center back Tran Nam Hai to replace the Paraguayan player.

Thus, the back four of Song Lam Nghe An will be in charge of: Ho Van Cuong, Hoang Van Khanh, Tran Nam Hai and Vuong Van Huy.

Playing right above as usual will be: Quang Vinh, Khac Ngoc, Ngo Van Luong and Le Dinh Long Vu. The striker duo still belongs to Olaha and Kuku.

With the home field advantage, after the ball started, Song Lam Nghe An took the initiative to control the game and pushed up the formation to look for opportunities. Players like Ngo Van Luong, Kuku, Olaha and Long Vu continuously organized attacks, causing a lot of trouble for the opponent's defense.

In the 5th minute, Olaha made a bold breakthrough on the left wing. In a face-to-face situation with goalkeeper Van Cong (Quang Nam), the striker wearing the number 7 shirt did not shoot, but decided to pass the ball back to his teammate. However, Olaha's drop shot was predicted by the opponent.

However, the Vinh Stadium audience did not have to feel too regretful, because just 1 minute later, Song Lam Nghe An opened the score of the match. Ngo Van Luong performed a solo performance from the middle of the field, eliminating 2 Quang Nam central defenders and then fired a shot into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Van Cong helpless.

After scoring the goal, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's students seemed to be filled with excitement and continued to attack. Facing the pressure created by Song Lam Nghe An, Quang Nam had to retreat deep to defend. However, the home team still created some dangerous opportunities in front of Van Cong's goal.

After being pressured at the beginning of the match, Quang Nam started to regain control in the middle of the first half. The away team created many problems for goalkeeper Van Viet's goal. And by the 30th minute, Quang Nam had brought the match back to the starting line.

From a distance of more than 40m, Atshimene suddenly launched a technical shot with great force that goalkeeper Van Viet could not block despite flying as far as he could. The score was equalized 1-1 for Quang Nam.

After equalizing, Quang Nam played explosively and created many dangerous situations in front of Song Lam Nghe An's goal. In the 38th minute, from a cross from outside the penalty area by his teammate, Atshimene eliminated a Song Lam Nghe An defender, then made a dangerous header, but Van Viet reacted promptly to save the situation.

In the last minutes of the first half, both teams played tit for tat but no more goals were scored. Therefore, the first 45 minutes ended with a score of 1-1.

Entering the second half, both teams entered the match determined to win all 3 points, so they deployed the ball at a fairly fast pace. However, in the final phases of the game, they did not have the necessary precision, so they did not create any opportunities towards Van Viet or Van Cong's goal.

After falling into a stalemate, coach Phan Nhu Thuat decided to put Manh Quynh and Dinh Hoang on the field to replace Ngo Van Luong and Long Vu.

This change brought a bit of improvement in the home team's attacking play. In the 67th minute, from a combination on the left wing, Kuku released the ball reasonably for Van Huy. The defender wearing the number 2 shirt unleashed a powerful shot, but the ball found the feet of goalkeeper Van Cong.

In the final minutes of the match, Song Lam Nghe An continuously created trouble in front of Quang Nam's goal, but could not find the net of the away team again. Therefore, the match ended in a 1-1 draw./.
