Which SLNA goalkeeper has the most consecutive clean sheets?
(Baonghean.vn) - With a 1-0 victory over Hanoi FC, the Nghe An team has kept a clean sheet for the 5th consecutive match in V.League 2020. However, the current achievement of the goalkeeper born in 1995 is still not a record for the Nghe An team.
According to statistics, in the history of SLNA, the goalkeeper with the most consecutive clean sheets in the V.League is Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong. In the 2011 season, the season in which the Nghe An team won the championship after 10 years of waiting, Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong was the number 1 choice of coach Nguyen Huu Thang in the position of "goalkeeper".

The former goalkeeper of Gach Dong Tam Long An (former name of Long An Club) and Xi Mang The Vissai Ninh Binh (disbanded team) played quite well, contributing significantly to the championship achievement of the Vinh Stadium team. Thanks to the impressive performance of goalkeeper Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong, SLNA only conceded 29 goals in V.League 2011, the fewest in the tournament.
When mentioning Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong, experts and football fans of Nghe An still cannot forget the "unprecedented" record that this goalkeeper set in the SLNA shirt. That was a series of 8 consecutive matches without conceding a goal in V.League 2011 (round 9 - round 16). Up to now in the V.League arena, Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong is the goalkeeper with the longest streak of clean sheets.

Meanwhile, after 5 rounds of V.League 2020, Nguyen Van Hoang has had a total of 450 minutes without having to pick the ball out of the net. No goalkeeper this season has had as impressive a record as the former Saigon goalkeeper. If he only keeps a clean sheet for 3 more consecutive matches in V.League 2020, Nguyen Van Hoang will equal the record of his predecessor Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong, set 9 years ago.
In the near future, the Nghe An team will face Ho Chi Minh City FC (home), Nam Dinh Pharmaceutical Nam Ha (away), Quang Nam (away) and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (home). The opportunity for Nguyen Van Hoang and his teammates to continue to keep a clean sheet is very clear, if they play with the same form as in the past matches. Let's wait and see if Nguyen Van Hoang can catch up and surpass Nguyen Huynh Quoc Cuong's achievements?
