Dinh Trieu absent, Hai Phong Club 'hangs its clothes out' on Lach Tray field

After the first stage of V-League 2024 - 2025, both Hai Phong and Quang Nam clubs are not in good form. While Hai Phong is ranked 12th with 7 points, Quang Nam is not doing much better with only 8 points after 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses. With unimpressive performances since the beginning of the tournament, both teams are currently in the "red light" group. Therefore, the match on the evening of January 19 is considered a 6-point match, which may affect the relegation race of the two teams.

Playing at home, Hai Phong FC is rated higher. However, the strength of the team led by coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is doubted when a series of key players are absent. Midfield duo Quoc Trung and Ngoc Nam received enough penalty cards and cannot play. Meanwhile, the reliable stopper in the goal, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu, also suffered an injury after the 2024 AFF Cup and is expected to return to training after 2 weeks.

Highlight Hai Phong Club 0-1 Quang Nam Club | Round 10 V-League 2024-2025

Hai Phong FC is in dire need of points but has lost its reliable goalkeeper Dinh Trieu (blue shirt).

With home advantage, Hai Phong FC entered the match confidently, rushing to attack right after the opening whistle. As usual, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team used many long balls and crosses from both wings to take advantage of the strikers' aerial ability. Lucao and Trieu Viet Hung were arranged to play in midfield, playing an important role in this style of play of Hai Phong. In the 13th minute, Lucao and Trieu Viet Hung had a beautiful coordination, opening up a scoring opportunity for Hai Phong FC. Unfortunately, after 2 consecutive shots, the net of Quang Nam FC still did not shake.

Starting from the 20th minute, Hai Phong FC used many small group coordination situations in the middle. However, this way of playing of the Lach Tray home team lacked speed and suddenness, not bringing efficiency. In addition, the defense of Quang Nam FC also kept distance and covered each other well, making it very difficult for Hai Phong to approach the penalty area. Although holding the ball slightly more (nearly 60%), Lucao and his teammates did not have any more dangerous shots towards the goal of Quang Nam FC.

On the other side of the front line, Quang Nam FC's attack also did not perform well, accepting to close the first half with a 0-0 draw. The most dangerous situation created by the away team in the first half occurred in the 11th minute when Charles Atshimene entered the penalty area, jumped high and headed the ball just over the bar.

Lucao (red shirt) played hard in the first half but could not help Hai Phong Club find the opening goal.

In the second half, Hai Phong and Quang Nam chose to play openly, making the match more exciting. Right from the first minutes of the half, Quang Nam suddenly pushed up their formation, continuously threatening Hai Phong's goal with dangerous attacks on the right wing. In the 50th minute, Quang Nam had a clear chance to open the score but the three foreign players Hyuri, Charles Atshimene and Alain "took turns" to miss.

Meanwhile, on the Hai Phong side, in the 61st minute, Trieu Viet Hung also failed to score despite having a chance to shoot from a distance of just over 10 meters. In the 69th minute, Lucao tried to shoot from a narrow angle but still could not beat the Quang Nam goalkeeper.

Despite many attacks but unable to score, Hai Phong Club had to pay the price with a goal in the 76th minute. In a quick counter-attack in the middle, Ngoc Tien suddenly entered the penalty area and easily tapped the ball in from close range, helping Quang Nam Club lead 1-0.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team tried hard to find an equalizer but failed.

Hai Phong Club lost the match right at Lach Tray Stadium

Conceding a goal, Hai Phong FC had to increase the pressure to find an equalizer. However, the home team did not have any dangerous attacks in the final minutes and had to end the match with a 0-1 loss to Quang Nam.

“Drying out their shirts” right on Lach Tray Stadium, Hai Phong Club only has 7 points after 10 matches, continuing to stand at 12th place on the rankings. Meanwhile, this important victory helped coach Van Sy Son and his team have 11 points, climbing to 9th place.
