Before the ball rolled, experts all commentedLam River Nghe AnIt is difficult to win points, even when playing at home. In fact, the fans are even more worried when coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team conceded an early goal after a classy finish from Nam Dinh.

It was thought that this loss would cause SLNA to collapse, but the scenario went in the opposite direction. The yellow team played more and more, showing their resilient spirit, tight playing style and uncompromising determination. They scored an equalizer in the first half, bringing great confidence to the audience in the stands.

This was a result that surprised many experts, but it must also be admitted that it was a worthy achievement for a team that played bravely and scientifically.

Speaking after the match, Coach Phan Nhu Thuat emphasized: “My feelings right now are really happy. Because for a long time, Song Lam Nghe An has never won against Thep Xanh Nam Dinh. Today, the whole team has done it. This victory is the effort of the whole team, with the highest concentration and determination. It may be surprising, but we deserve this result.”

Evaluating his players’ performance, coach Phan Nhu Thuat said: “What I am most satisfied with is the team’s fighting spirit. All players, from the starting lineup to the reserve lineup, have shown determination. Personally, I would like to mention young goalkeeper Cao Van Binh. He has good height, quick reflexes, and if he gets more practice, I believe Van Binh will become one of the top potential goalkeepers in the future.”

Not only that, pillars like Khac Ngoc or Olaha continue to leave a strong impression. Khac Ngoc brings solidity and balance to the midfield, and Olaha, as captain, has always played enthusiastically, inspiring his teammates. “Khac Ngoc is a very important player for the team.

His commitment and dedication to SLNA is extremely valuable," emphasized coach Phan Nhu Thuat.

According to SLNA head coach, the team has prepared carefully for this match, especially in defense: “Nam Dinh has a very strong attack. Therefore, we require the players to maintain a reasonable formation distance, limiting gaps in the central area. When necessary, the whole team presses high to put pressure, at the same time, defends firmly to neutralize the opponent's attacks."

The 2-1 victory over the defending champion not only brought home 3 valuable points, but also affirmed that SLNA is completely worthy of praise. With a brave fighting spirit and reasonable tactics, the Nghe An team is showing that they are capable of creating more surprises this season.
