Trung Kien - April 1, 2018 19:12
(Baonghean.vn) - Facing the star players of the Thanh Hoa team, especially SLNA veterans like Van Binh and Hoang Thinh, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team had a very difficult match on the opponent's field.

In the first minutes of the match, the home team FLC Thanh Hoa was the team that had the first significant situation of the match. In the 9th minute, captain Pape Omar swung his leg and kicked hard from a distance of more than 20m, the ball flew over the crossbar.

In the 23rd minute, the home team was awarded a free kick from a distance of more than 30 meters. Midfielder Van Binh launched a very tricky shot towards the top corner but goalkeeper Vu Hai excellently flew to save the visitors from Nghe An.

From here, the match became extremely exciting, SLNA occasionally created a few counter-attacks but they were not very dangerous. Van Duc, Olaha and Tuan Tai were all quite inexperienced against Hoang Thinh and the Thanh defense. Meanwhile, FLC Thanh Hoa had many shots on target towards Vu Hai's goal.

The situation that really made SLNA's goal wobble came in the 29th minute. The Thanh team almost had the opening goal if goalkeeper Vu Hai had not brilliantly rushed back to clear the ball right on the goal line. Before that, Dinh Hoang fumbled to clear the ball back into his own goal from Pape Omar's improvised backheel.

The first half ended rather dull without any goals scored. In the second half, SLNA started to shake up their formation and attack. In the 49th minute, from an indecisive punch by goalkeeper Tien Dung, Phan Van Duc launched a volley as strong as a thread, unfortunately the ball found a defender of the home team.

Immediately after that, FLC Thanh Hoa had an answer in the 52nd minute, foreign player Ofere had a chance to face Vu Hai's goal. This striker's shot from the edge of the penalty area was strong but found the SLNA goalkeeper's position, the match still had no goals.

After a series of attacks, in the 55th minute, SLNA's defense had to pay the price. From a free kick, the ball was lofted into the penalty area and Ofere jumped high to head the ball powerfully, defeating Vu Hai. Dinh Tung almost raised the score to 2-0 for Thanh Hoa if this player's shot from a favorable position had been more accurate.

The two teams maintained an open game, immediately after that, Phan Van Duc had a shot with his weaker foot in the 16m50 box, defeating Tien Dung. Luck turned away from SLNA when the ball found the goal post again. This was probably Van Duc's 4th shot this season that was denied by the goal.

Defensively, SLNA had some difficulties in the absence of Vo Ngoc Toan in this match. The tenacious playing style and presence at hot spots of this defensive midfielder were not present in the replacement Ho Sy Sam.

At this time, Vo Ngoc Duc was sent onto the field so that Xuan Manh could play as a left winger, and The Cuong could replace Xuan Toan on the right wing. However, SLNA's attack was still not very good.

It was not until the 79th minute that the match became more exciting. Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung made an indecisive save, creating an opportunity for SLNA's Olaha to skillfully hook the ball, but this situation could not bring the away team an equalizer. Before that, Bui Tien Dung had denied Le The Cuong's attempt to shoot after a long pass from Que Ngoc Hai.

With 10 minutes left in the match, the young striker with a 1m83 physique was sent onto the field by coach Duc Thang to look for aerial attacks. In the extra minutes, The Cuong managed to create a rather dangerous situation with a close-range shot with his left foot, but the ball went wide of the post.

SLNA played with great effort in the final minutes of the match. Que Ngoc Hai had a dangerous close-range header. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung made a brilliant save, leaving SLNA players regretful. The match ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of FLC Thanh Hoa.

Losing this match, SLNA continues to sink to the bottom of the rankings with 1 point after 3 matches, while the Thanh team has 6 points and significantly improved its position./.
