Therefore, this victory is like a medicine to stimulate the fighting spirit for Phan Van Duc and his teammates. Especially in the upcoming round, the final round of phase 1 of V.League 2020, SLNA will have to play away at Lach Tray Stadium of Hai Phong. Nghe An football fans are hoping that, with the excitement from the victory over HAGL, SLNA will leave the port city with 3 full points.
In addition, with 3 points gained in the 12th round,SLNAhad 10 consecutive matches unbeaten against HAGL, at Vinh stadium. The last time the Nghe An team lost to the visiting team HAGL was in the second leg of V.League 2010 (score 1-2). It can be affirmed that Vinh stadium is the "dangerous land" of HAGL, since the day the mountain town team participated in the most prestigious arena of Vietnamese football (in 2003). It is not wrong to say that Vinh stadium is a solid support for SLNA in the confrontations with HAGL.
Thanks to the 2-0 victory that took place yesterday afternoon (September 26), SLNA players will have more reason to believe in a positive result every time they welcome HAGL at home. On the contrary, the team from the mountain town will feel more insecure in the upcoming visits to the "fire pan of Vinh", regardless of SLNA's current situation. Because, HAGL is afraid of Vinh stadium like "a bird is afraid of a curved branch".
