Coach Kim Sang-sik suddenly appeared, Viettel The Cong Club missed a valuable opportunity

On the afternoon of November 3 at Hoa Xuan Stadium, Quang Nam Club welcomed The Cong Viettel Club in the 6th round of V-League 2024 - 2025. Notably, this match had the presence of Vietnam national team head coach - Mr. Kim Sang-sik.

Quang Nam FC, determined to win the second match, entered the match very confidently, pushing their squad to attack. In the first 10 minutes, the match was very exciting with high speed and tit-for-tat moves between the two teams. However, when they could not cause any surprises in the opening stage, the Quang Nam team proactively slowed down the match, prioritizing the stability of the home field with a ball control style of play.

In the 28th minute, Atshimene Charles put the ball into the net of Viettel The Cong Club. However, the goal was not recognized because the foreign striker wearing number 90 had committed a foul by pulling an opponent player before.

The match heated up again as the first half drew to a close. Quang Nam Club and The Cong Viettel continuously threatened each other's goal. Many shots were created, notably Khuat Van Khang's powerful long-range shot that went close to the crossbar in the 45th minute, forcing goalkeeper Van Cong to work hard to block it. In the extra time, from a quick counter-attack, Atsshimene also had a good chance to help Quang Nam Club take the lead, but this striker played individually when he decided to shoot without passing to his teammates.

If the Quang Nam team's goalkeeper had not made an excellent save, Khuat Van Khang (left) would have scored a goal for The Cong Viettel Club.

Overall, in the first 45 minutes of the match, Quang Nam Club showed that they were better in ball control and the number of opportunities created compared to their opponents. On the other hand, The Cong Viettel Club chose a lurking style of play and only rose strongly from the end of the first half.

In the second half, the wind changed direction when The Cong Viettel Club was the team that created many situations that shook the opponent's goal. On the day Mr. Kim Sang-sik "went undercover" to Hoa Xuan, many players of the military team certainly wanted to score points. However, The Cong Viettel's strikers were still not lucky. In the 83rd minute, after a highly unexpected free kick combination, Truong Tien Anh rushed up from the second line and fired a powerful shot, but the ball hit the crossbar.

In the end, The Cong Viettel Club drew 0-0 with the host Quang Nam in round 6. With only 1 point in this match, The Cong Viettel Club (currently with 11 points) missed a valuable opportunity. If they had 3 points against the weaker team Quang Nam, coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team would have 13 points and a good chance of winning the table.
