A disappointing match for Song Lam Nghe An.

(Baonghean.vn) -On Saturday afternoon at Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An was held to a disappointing draw by an underdog team, leaving many spectators disappointed and leaving the stadium mid-match.

Determined to win to celebrate the birthday of beloved President Ho Chi Minh and to reciprocate the fans' support, Song Lam Nghe An started the match confidently and quickly scored a goal through Cong Vinh. However, the tactical brilliance of coach Tran Binh Su on the visiting team, the inexperience of the defenders, and the lack of luck from the strikers on the home side cost them dearly, resulting in a goal conceded in the latter half of the second half.

This can be considered a complete failure for Song Lam Nghe An because their opponent this afternoon was a relegation candidate and also fielded a B team.

Vinh Stadium is deserted...

Cong Vinh missed the opportunity.





...and Hector also let the opportunity slip away.



Although Phi Son is proactive, he lacks experience.



Goalkeeper Thanh Diệp of the visiting team had an outstanding performance.



Spectators left the stadium while the match was in progress.



The players and coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An were disappointed after the draw at home.

While coach Huu Thang believed his team played terribly, creating many opportunities but failing to convert them into goals, and conceding an equalizer was inevitable, Dong Nai's coach Tran Binh Su was visibly delighted with the valuable point.

As the underdog, a candidate for relegation, it's understandable that coach Tran Binh Su believed they were no match for SLNA. Before the match, he asserted that his team would save players for the crucial six-point match against Kien Giang in the next game. After the match ended, the coach was visibly pleased and stated that his team played with a second-string lineup, with only two players from the first team available.



Coach Tran Binh Su's team earned a point as precious as "gold" at Vinh Stadium.

In contrast to Mr. Su's joyful demeanor, Coach Huu Thang entered the press conference room with a sad and frustrated attitude. Coach Thang stated that his team had been outplayed, and the wasteful use of opportunities inevitably led to conceding goals. He added that if Nguyen Manh hadn't been outstanding, Song Lam Nghe An might have conceded more than one goal in this match. “Our biggest weakness is our defense. However, currently, that's all we have. Hopefully, in the second half of the season, we will have more funding to strengthen our defense.”

Coach Huu Thang was disappointed with SLNA's draw at home.

In today's match, the attendance was very low. In the final minutes, after SLNA conceded a goal, many people left early. Coach Huu Thang believes that the low attendance was partly due to the sunny weather and partly because his players haven't put in enough effort to attract fans to the stadium like they did at the beginning of the season.

Thus, contrary to fans' expectations, the Nghe An team once again disappointed by drawing at the Vinh Stadium. This is the third consecutive match in which Coach Huu Thang's team has failed to win. In the next round, SLNA will face a very difficult match at Chi Lang Stadium against Da Nang.
