Trung Kien - August 2, 2019 19:25
(Baonghean.vn) - With the return of two foreign players Michael Olaha and Damir Memovic, Song Lam Nghe An had a successful match when welcoming Que Ngoc Hai's Viettel at Vinh Stadium in round 19 of V.League.
SLNA and Viettel entered the match at a moderate pace. By the 15th minute, the match still had no significant opportunities created by players from either side.
In the 20th minute, SLNA suddenly took the lead from a clear attack. From midfield, Ngoc Toan launched a long kick, Quang Tinh overcame Bui Tien Dung's marking and tapped the ball into the far corner, making Viettel's net shake.

After the goal, Quang Tinh had another chance to shoot from Michael Olaha, but after this shot, he had to leave the field due to injury and gave way to Ho Sy Sam.
In the following minutes, Viettel still could not find a way into SLNA's goal, then the turning point of the match came in the 40th minute.
Center back Pham The Nhat was fouled by Janclesio during a tackle. The reaction that followed caused this foreign player to receive a second yellow card from referee Ngo Duy Lan and had to leave the field. Playing with one less player, Viettel played quite poorly.
In the 45+2 minute, Ho Tuan Tai received the ball comfortably and shot into Viettel's net, before that Vinicius had a rather delicate move. The first half ended with a temporary score of 2-0 in favor of the Nghe An team.

In the second half, SLNA added more solidity to their defense by bringing in Van Khanh to replace The Nhat. Meanwhile, Viettel also had to continuously face the attacks created by SLNA. In front of dangerous shots from Olaha or Tuan Tai, the away team's goalkeeper Xuan Son had to continuously fly to save the goal.
After many missed opportunities, SLNA finally got their third goal from a corner kick in the 85th minute. Center back Damir Memovic scored for the first time for the home team with an accurate header.

It seemed like the match would end with a 3-0 victory for SLNA, but Viettel unexpectedly scored a goal to shorten the score in the extra time. The SLNA defender fouled Bruno in the penalty area and this player fooled goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, shortening the score to 1-3 for Viettel.
