AFC Cup 2014 group stage: V.NB defeated South China 3-1

Vissai Ninh Binh had an impressive away trip to Hong Kong when they defeated South China with a resounding score of 3-1.

Despite playing away, V. Ninh Binh showed no fear of South China. It was their proactive play and relentless attacks that helped the V-League representative take the lead early.

V.NB opened with a 3-1 victory in Hong Kong.

In Kavin's goal in the 10th minute, rookie Voinea contributed greatly when he made a pass for Kavin to easily shoot into the home team's net. In the 26th minute, Dinh Van Ta doubled the advantage for V.Ninh Binh after a solo performance and then kicked a beautiful goal.

Right at the beginning of the second half, V.Ninh Binh continued to increase the gap with a third goal against the Hong Kong football representative. Quang Hung dribbled the ball with great effort on the left wing before crossing for Patiyo to tap in from close range, scoring another goal for coach Nguyen Van Sy's team.

In an effort to find a consolation goal, South China fought back strongly in the following minutes. And the home team's efforts were also successful when in the 58th minute, Ki Siu headed the ball close to the goal, reducing the score to 1-3.

The equalizer seemed to stimulate South China's fighting spirit. In the remaining 30 minutes, the home team put strong pressure on Manh Dung's goal. But the subsequent adjustment by bringing in central defender Hoang Vissai to replace Kavin to strengthen the defense by coach Nguyen Van Sy helped V.NB stand firm.

It must also be said that this was an extremely excellent match for goalkeeper Manh Dung. The goalkeeper of the Vietnam national team had many brilliant plays, saving obvious goals for V.Ninh Binh.

In the remaining match of Group G, Yangon beat Kelantan with a score of 5-3.
