After falling behind, coach Huy Hoang's players appeared to be stuck in attack and had gaps in defense. As a result, the Nghe An team conceded two more goals in the 52nd and 56th minutes. This was Song Lam Nghe An's biggest defeat in the 2023 V.League season.
Nguyen Hoang Duc is so excellent
Although he did not score in this match, it can be said that Nguyen Hoang Duc was the best player of the match. The midfielder of the Vietnam National Team had perfect touches that made the players of Song Lam Nghe An look like "new apprentices".

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 meet 2 very strong teams, Topenland Binh Dinh and Hanoi Club, on the 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 win 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 will the pain of Nghe An fans last then?
