After losing heavily to U21 Pho Hien, U21 SLNA almost has no chance to participate in the final round
(Baonghean.vn) - In the second match of Group A of the 2019 National U21 qualifying round, U21 SLNA was defeated by U21 Pho Hien with a resounding score of 5-0.
Compared to the opening match against U21 Cong An Nhan Dan, coach Nguyen Dinh Dung made a change in the starting lineup. Thai Ba Sang had to sit on the bench, the person who was paired with captain Nguyen Ba Duc as a central defender was Le Thanh Lam.
It is not surprising that U21 SLNA were the ones who dominated the game in the first minutes of the match.
However, the more they played, the more cohesive U21 Pho Hien showed. From the 30th minute onwards, the young players from PVF Center showed superiority in both physical strength and battle experience. A series of delicious opportunities were created by the strikers of U21 Pho Hien and player Le Van Do opened the score for the young team of Hung Yen in the 40th minute.
