Nguyen Hoang Duc is so excellent

In theory, the Nghe An team still has a chance to enter the top 8 if they win the remaining 3 matches. However, looking at the remaining schedule and the performance of Song Lam Nghe An, that is very difficult to happen. Having to face 2 very strong teams, Topenland Binh Dinh and Hanoi Club, on away field, getting 1 point is also a success for coach Huy Hoang and his team.
The remaining opponent is Ho Chi Minh City Club, who are in high spirits after a big 5-1 victory in this round. Therefore, winning against coach Vu Tien Thanh's team is not an easy task for Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates.
Difficulties are surrounding teachers and studentsCoach Huy Hoangand without the whole team's best efforts, Song Lam Nghe An's danger would be inevitable. And how long would the pain of Nghe An fans last?
