Beating Binh Duong at Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An continues its winning streak
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Olaha's only goal helped Song Lam Nghe An win 1-0 against Becamex Binh Duong, thereby continuing their winning streak.
On the afternoon of May 26, Song Lam Nghe An Club welcomed Binh Duong at Vinh Stadium. The Nghe An team has improved after appointing new coach Pham Anh Tuan. In the last three rounds led by the 55-year-old captain at the V-League arena, the Vinh Stadium team has not lost with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw.
On the other side of the front line, Binh Duong's recent form has not been good. They lost 3/4 of their most recent matches, missing the opportunity to chase Nam Dinh Club in the championship race. Notably, all 3 of these defeats occurred on away field. Therefore, continuing to have to travel to Vinh Stadium of a Song Lam Nghe An team determined to stay in the league is predicted to not be simple for coach Le Huynh Duc and his team.
Although they could not create an overwhelming situation against Binh Duong, each of Song Lam Nghe An's attacks put Minh Toan's goal in an alarming situation. If Manh Quynh had been more careful in the situation facing Minh Toan in the 25th minute, Song Lam Nghe An might have scored the opening goal quite early.
In the 41st minute, Song Lam Nghe An's attacking efforts were rewarded with a goal by Olaha. The striker headed the ball back from his teammate's cross from the right wing, defeating goalkeeper Minh Toan, opening the score for Song Lam Nghe An.
1-0 was also the score of the first half.
In the second half, Coach Le Huynh Duc made a change when he sent Viet Cuong and Tien Dat onto the field, Tien Linh and Quang Hung were given a break. Meanwhile, Coach Pham Anh Tuan still trusted the players who started from the beginning.
Not accepting defeat at Vinh Stadium, Binh Duong rose up strongly with many dangerous attacks from Minh Khoa and Atshimene Charles. However, the lack of precision in the final shots prevented Binh Duong from getting an equalizer.
Meanwhile, Song Lam Nghe An remained extremely dangerous with their defensive and counter-attacking situations thanks to the inspiration of Olaha. If they had been luckier, the Nghe An team could have scored another goal in the 45 minutes of the second half.
Winning 1-0, Song Lam Nghe An went through their 4th consecutive match unbeaten (1 draw, 3 wins). With 25 points, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team temporarily left the "red light" group, rising to 11th place on the provisional rankings after round 21./.
