Van Khanh and Nguyen Manh are in the typical lineup of the first leg of V.League 2019

Returning from injury, Nguyen Manh helped SLNA retain important points in 12 matches he participated in with excellent performance. In 9 of those matches, SLNA kept a clean sheet. 24 times blocking clear chances helped him surpass a series of names in the goalkeeper position to appear in the list.

Meanwhile, in the defense, Hoang Van Khanh showed remarkable maturity, becoming a good partner of Memovic with Dinh Dong and Dinh Hoang creating a steel wall in front of goalkeeper Nguyen Manh's goal. A position in the typical lineup of the first leg of V.League 2019 is a worthy reward for Van Khanh's efforts and attempts in the recent short time.

Besides the two names of SLNA, in other positions there are the players who have excellently brought their team to the top 5 of the first leg of V.League 2019.

In defense, next to Van Khanh are Duy Manh (Hanoi FC), Van Thuan (HCMC) in the center back position and Van Hau (Hanoi FC), Van Kien (Hanoi FC) in the wing position. These players have helped their teams compete fiercely for the top 2 positions in the current rankings.

The remaining player in the midfielder position in the typical lineup of the first leg of V.League is Van Toan of HAGL. Although his team is only in 10th place, this player is in good form with 6 goals scored, becoming the best domestic striker in the first half of the tournament.

In the center forward position, there are not many surprises because Vinicius scored 7 goals in the important victories of Ho Chi Minh City, bringing his team to become the champion of the first leg of V.League 2019.
