SLNA temporarily escapes the "red light" zone
In the match, receiving 22 shots towards goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet's goal, SLNA showed admirable resilience, before Manh Quynh launched a dangerous curling shot to score the only goal of the match.
The Nghe An team has had 3 meaningful points, as this is the first time SLNA has won this season, helping coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team have a little joy when entering the Tet holiday.
In particular, the duo of additional players have shown their excellent roles. Center back Hoang Van Khanh played very well alongside Zaracho, when they were respectively rated high by sofascore with 7.2 and 7.3 points.
In the middle of the field, Khac Ngoc showed people the image of one of the talented keepers, as he sublimated to help The Cong Viettel Club win the V-League in 2020, receiving 7.7 points.
In particular, young goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet continues to be a solid support for SLNA's defense, receiving the highest score on the team at 8.3 points, with 7 excellent saves.
With veteran Tran Dinh Hoang playing with dedication and experience on the sidelines, the above mentioned pillars have created a foundation for the young players to be more confident and not easily panicked like before.
Be humble one step at a time
Coach Phan Nhu Thuat said: "Hoang Van Khanh and Nguyen Khac Ngoc are two experienced players with good skills to help support the younger players better. Next to them, the younger players are much more confident and steady.
The victory over Binh Duong Club is very meaningful for SLNA, helping us temporarily escape the second-to-last position on the rankings. This is a great encouragement for us after a difficult period at the beginning of the season."
With 9 points, SLNA is ranked 11th and is 5 points ahead of the bottom team Da Nang, and 1 point ahead of Hai Phong Club in 13th place. Of course, the relegation race is still long and full of challenges ahead, but clearly the spirit and confidence of the Nghe An team is much different.
After the 2024 - 2025 V-League returns, SLNA will have 3 very important matches as guests against Hanoi and Binh Duong clubs, in between hosting direct competitor Hai Phong at Vinh Stadium.
The good news was that the main striker Olaha had completely recovered from his injury and was ready to return to the field, enjoying Khac Ngoc's smart assists.
Coach Phan Nhu Thuat expressed: "The team spirit is more optimistic and excited. But we clearly understand that there are still many difficulties waiting ahead. SLNA's schedule in the coming period is still very heavy, we are determined to join hands and make efforts in each match, entering each match trying our best and maintaining the highest concentration".
