Song Lam Nghe An drew the 4th consecutive match: Holding the gold but letting it fall
(Baonghean.vn) - The regrettable draw on August 19th meant that coach Huy Hoang's team still could not win in V.League 2023. And it will also cause Song Lam Nghe An to fall to the bottom half of the rankings when V.League 2023 takes a break.
The fate of the foreign duo
After scoring his first goal in the previous match, it seems like the rookieJordy Solaidohas relieved the pressure. He played extremely aggressively, causing the home team's defense to constantly encounter difficulties. And it was the Belgian striker who scored the opening goal in the 27th minute of the match. In this situation, Olaha was the one who contributed the most when he ran down very bravely on the left wing and then crossed for Solaido to score.

In addition to the assist for Solaido to score, Olaha also added his name to the scoreboard when he touched the ball, forcing goalkeeper Van Truong to pick the ball out of the net for the second time. This was the third goal of the Nigerian striker in the confrontations with the coastal city team. Unfortunately, the joy of the foreign striker duo was not complete when Song Lam Nghe An only got a draw away from 19/8 Nha Trang.
Defensive concerns
It seemed that the defense was the most secure place for Song Lam Nghe An when adding foreign player Vytas Gaspuitis, but after 4 rounds, this is the place that leaves many worries for Nghe An fans. Except for the match in round 2, coach Huy Hoang's team has conceded goals in 3/4 matches.
Song Lam Nghe An's defense continuously had situations of losing concentration (especially in the first or last minutes of the half). And the consequence was that the goals conceded madeNghe An football teamstill unable to win.

In this match, the defense of Song Lam Nghe An did not have a good division of labor in marking the tall foreign players of the home team Khanh Hoa. The two goals of coach Vo Dinh Tan's team both came from comfortable headers from Jairo and Muacir. Coach Huy Hoang and his team could only blame themselves for losing the victory in this match when there was less than a minute left to end the match.
Precious break
After round 4 ends, V.League 2023 will take a break of more than 1 month to make way for the U20 Asia finals and FIFA Days. This break will help injured players such asTran Dinh Tien and Nguyen Van HoangRecover from injury and regain your playing form.

And this will also be a valuable time for teachers and students.Coach Huy Hoangpractice skills and adjust tactics. After 4 rounds, Nghe An's team has not been stable in all 3 lines. Good matches, bad matches have made Song Lam Nghe An only have 4 draws. If they do not improve soon, I am afraid that the top 8 goal of Nghe An's team will not be achieved. Especially when Song Lam Nghe An's match schedule in the remaining period is very difficult.
Hopefully after this break, coach Huy Hoang and his team will come back strong to get good results at V.League 2023.
