Ha Tinh Club knows defeat

After ending the first leg with 13 unbeaten matches (3 wins, 10 draws), Ha Tinh Club is aiming for its 14th unbeaten match in the V-League this season. The challenge for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team is Hai Phong, an opponent struggling in the relegation race, ranked 13th.

Geovane Magno and his teammates defended tightly, while also moving up high to put pressure on the ball to launch quick attacks. The cohesive and diverse play of Ha Tinh Club made it difficult for the home team Hai Phong to defend.

In the 12th minute, Geovane "visited" the goalpost of Hai Phong Club, with a beautiful curling shot that left goalkeeper Dinh Trieu helpless, but luck prevented Ha Tinh Club from scoring. In the following minutes, Viktor Le, Trong Hoang and Geovane continuously stirred up Hai Phong's defense with their ability to switch positions and coordinate quick passes. However, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's students could not take advantage of the better situation to tear the net of the home team at Lach Tray Stadium.

The wastefulness made Ha Tinh FC pay the price. In the second half, Hai Phong FC controlled the ball better. The home team's attacks were also rhythmic and had clear intentions, when they penetrated Ha Tinh's two flanks to open up space for foreign players to create breakthroughs.

And when being drawn into the foreign players of Hai Phong, the visiting team Ha Tinh fell into the trap. In the 72nd minute, Nguyen Huu Son took advantage of the hesitation of the home team's defenders to unleash a decisive long-range shot that defeated the Ha Tinh goalkeeper, opening the score of the match. The former Vietnam international's shot surprised the Ha Tinh defense, as the visiting team's defenders probably thought Huu Son would coordinate or dribble, instead of shooting from a distance.

Trieu Dinh shines

After conceding the goal, Ha Tinh FC had to push forward. However, unlike their opponent Binh Duong in the previous round, Hai Phong FC played tightly and cautiously.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​deep-lying, aggressive defense blocked all paths to the opponent's goal.

Even when Hai Phong FC's defenders were passed, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu was still there, standing tall like a wall preventing Ha Tinh strikers from scoring.

In the 77th minute, Geovane made a smart run to receive Viktor Le's cross. The Ha Tinh striker headed the ball dangerously, but goalkeeper Dinh Trieu flew to block it, saving Hai Phong FC from a clear loss. Immediately after the save by the goalkeeper born in 1991, the entire Lach Tray stadium crowd shouted Dinh Trieu's name. Hai Phong fans understood that Dinh Trieu's save was as valuable as a goal, helping the port city team rekindle their confidence in the relegation race.

Defeating Ha Tinh Club with a score of 1-0, Hai Phong Club temporarily rose to 11th place with 14 points after 14 rounds, temporarily 2 points ahead of SLNA's play-off position. Meanwhile, Ha Tinh's unbeaten streak in the V-League has stopped at 13.
