HAGL unfortunately shared points in Pleiku, Binh Duong improved since changing coach

THANK YOU FOR THE RAIN

Without wasting much time, in the 13th minute, referee Nguyen Van Phuc had to show the first card to midfielder Jairo (HAGL), opening a hard working day when HAGL welcomed Ho Chi Minh City Club at Pleiku Stadium in round 10 of V-League 2024 - 2025. After nearly 2 months of preparation, Coach Le Quang Trai's students entered the match with determination, even ready to use tricks, not afraid to commit fouls to disrupt the opponent's playing style. This made the match very hot when the beautiful plays were completely overwhelmed by the tit-for-tat situations of the players on both sides. In total, referee Nguyen Van Phuc had to show 13 yellow cards to cool down the hot heads, including HAGL Club Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh, to prevent the match from falling apart. After the match, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong complained about the organization at Pleiku Stadium, especially the stretcher bearers who deliberately delayed the time to help the HAGL team waste time. Surely the ugly card shower at Pleiku stadium, including the image of players from both sides fighting in the second half, will receive appropriate warnings from VFF and VPF.

Pleiku Stadium witnessed a rain of cards and complaints about the organization.

Basically, the calculations of the duo Vu Tien Thanh - Le Quang Trai were on the right track when Chau Ngoc Quang shone with 1 assist, 1 goal to help HAGL lead 2-0 in the 62nd minute. But after this goal, everything gradually slipped out of the control of the home team when Ho Chi Minh City Club had nothing to lose and rushed forward to find the equalizer. At this time, the lack of concentration in marking the HAGL defense was exposed, when they conceded a goal from Endrick's corner kick (minute 72) and the situation where Hai Quan comfortably headed the ball past goalkeeper Trung Kien in the 90th minute. The commendable spirit of the "Red Battleship" was duly rewarded, while HAGL could only blame themselves for "holding the gold and letting it fall".

COACH MR. MANH DEbuts to Binh Duong Fans with Victory

At Binh Duong Stadium, Tien Linh and Vi Hao made their return to the home fans after returning from the AFF Cup 2024, while midfielder Abdurakhmanov was also honored after receiving the Kyrgyzstan Silver Ball award. Despite creating a somewhat superior game compared to the visiting team Binh Dinh, Binh Duong Club was unexpectedly behind after a very quick cushioning situation by Leonardo in the 22nd minute. The balance was established before the end of the first half, after a beautiful free kick by Viet Cuong in the 45+5 minute defeated goalkeeper Hoai Anh (replacing Tuan Linh who was injured). In the 62nd minute, midfielder Minh Khoa, who had just entered the field as a substitute, scored from outside the penalty area, sealing a 2-1 victory for Binh Duong Club. The victory on the day of Binh Duong's debut can be considered a promising start for new coach Nguyen Cong Manh. Before that, he scored points when leading his team to Thien Truong Stadium and eliminating Nam Dinh Club in the round of 16 of the National Cup. Hopefully this form will continue to be maintained, and at the same time, the team from the land of Thu will soon find a quality foreign player to replace the "wounded soldier" Wellington Nem to have someone to effectively share the fire with Tien Linh on the attack line.

Today, January 18, round 10 of the 2024-2025 V-League will continue with two very exciting matches when Thanh Hoa Club hosts Ha Tinh Club (6 p.m.), while SLNA visits the Hang Day Stadium of the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) at 7:15 p.m. The top team Thanh Hoa is having two consecutive 1-1 draws against PG Pathum in the Southeast Asian Club Championship and against Nam Dinh Club in the early match of round 12 of the V-League. However, coach Popov does not have many options for both attack and defense when Gustavo is injured. Captain Doan Ngoc Tan is still playing enthusiastically and energetically, but is starting to show signs of overload. On the other side of the front line, despite losing to CAHN Club in the National Cup, Ha Tinh Club has played quite impressively. This similarity in form promises to bring a fierce competition in Thanh Hoa. Meanwhile, young coach Phan Nhu Thuat and SLNA will have a difficult away trip to Hang Day Stadium, when CAHN Club just won the National Cup.
