Coach Phan Như Thuật is helping SLNA move in the right direction.
SLNA has temporarily escaped the relegation zone.
Despite conceding 22 shots on goal against goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet, SLNA showed admirable resilience before Manh Quynh unleashed a dangerous curling shot to score the only goal of the match.
The Nghe An team secured three very significant points, as this was SLNA's first victory of the season, bringing a little joy to coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his players as they head into the Lunar New Year holiday.
In particular, the two new players performed exceptionally well. Center-back Hoang Van Khanh played very well alongside Zaracho, receiving high scores of 7.2 and 7.3 respectively from Sofascore.
SLNA bravely earned a point at home against Hanoi Police FC.
In the middle of the field, Khac Ngoc once again showed the brilliance of one of the most talented playmakers, just as he excelled in helping The Cong Viettel Club win the V-League championship in 2020, earning a rating of 7.7 points.
In particular, young goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet continued to be a solid pillar of SLNA's defense, receiving the highest rating in the team at 8.3 points, with 7 outstanding saves.
With the addition of veteran Tran Dinh Hoang's tenacious play and experience on the wing, the aforementioned core group of players has provided a foundation for the younger players to be more confident and less prone to panic than before.
Humility, one step at a time.
Hoang Van Khanh brings stability to the defense...
...while Khac Ngoc is an important link in the midfield for SLNA.
Coach Phan Như Thuật expressed: "Hoàng Văn Khánh and Nguyễn Khắc Ngọc are two experienced players with good skills who can better support the younger players. Alongside them, the young players feel much more confident and secure."
The victory against Binh Duong FC is very significant for SLNA, helping us temporarily escape the second-to-last position in the standings. This is a great encouragement for us after a difficult start to the season."
With 9 points, SLNA is currently ranked 11th, 5 points ahead of bottom-placed Da Nang and 1 point ahead of 13th-placed Hai Phong. Of course, the relegation battle is still long and full of challenges ahead, but the spirit and confidence of the Nghe An team are clearly much different.
SLNA fans erupted with joy at the victory.
After the V-League 2024-2025 resumes, SLNA will have three very important matches: away games against Hanoi FC and Binh Duong, and in between, a home game against direct competitor Hai Phong in Vinh.
The good news was that star striker Olaha had fully recovered from his injury and was ready to return to the pitch, enjoying the intelligent assists from Khắc Ngọc.
Coach Phan Nhu Thuat expressed: "The team's morale has improved and is more enthusiastic. But we understand that many difficulties still lie ahead. SLNA's schedule in the coming period is very demanding, and we are determined to stick together, strive in every match, try our best in each game, and maintain the highest level of concentration."
