“The Thanh Hoa players who have a match full of effort and victory are totally worthy of us. Thanh Hoa has encountered many difficulties before the very unpleasant play of Saigon especially in the first half and when being equalized 1-1. The team effort has helped us to have 3 important points. I am very happy with the impressive return of Dinh Tung after injury because this is still a smart and experienced player. In addition, Gramoz has maximized the ability of professionalism and efficiency, this is a good thing for Thanh Hoa in the coming journey ”. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang made such a statement after Thanh Hoa defeated Saigon with a score of 2-1 at home.

Returning to the match, despite the advantage of home field, Thanh Hoa players have entered quite cautiously. Instead of holding the usual attacking shots, the home team gathered in the middle area. Only young player Trong Hung is the only attack in the left.

Meanwhile, Saigon soon revealed the defensive defense game. The visitors pay much attention to the defense from far away with the majority of players in the middle of the field. However, Saigon still plays on par with the owner of Thanh Hoa. Quoc Phuong and the position of the foreign team of the visitors are the most active players.

Meeting a lot of difficulties before the tight play of the opponent, Thanh Hoa tried to implement small coordination phases but the opportunity to score is very rare. The first notable situation was the phase of Trong Hung’s high-heeled shoe in the 19th minute but failed to win the goalkeeper of Saigon.

After the visitors had a response with a cross corner in the penalty area of Van Buu, but goalkeeper Ba Son had excellent saves. The following game was somewhat boring when the two teams did not have any significant scoring situations. Game 1 ended with a missed chance of scoring a goal in the 45th minute when Trong Trong, in turn, Rimario could not be in the best of the penalty stages. The score 0-0 after the first 45 minutes partly reflects the situation of the match.

Coach Nguyen Duc Thang’s change in the first place in the second half was given at the beginning of the second half when Gramoz was pushed higher to increase support for public goods. 49 minutes, Huu Dung had a thunderbolt shot from outside the area to force the goalkeeper Van Hoang of Saigon to push the ball out. Gramoz rushed into kicking, opening the score for Thanh Hoa. The opener is the result of a beautifully arranged attack phase of the home team.

Of course, the Sai Gon players were forced to raise their attacking squad to search for a goal. The visitors created the danger from the long ball and the ball. However, Thanh Hoa crafts still play fairly focused.

This is also the time for coach Nguyen Duc Thang’s students to deploy the usual counter-play. Opportunities to score goals for the home team create more especially when there is an addition of striker Dinh Tung.

It was the No. 2 striker who had a beautiful free-kick that threw the cross over the bar in the 70th minute.

Missing the scoring opportunities made Thanh Hoa pay dearly. Ngoc Duy’s 1-1 draw for Saigon in the 77th minute proved that. Thanh Hoa’s crafts have been somewhat distracted in the conceding situation.

Gramoz deserves the best player award in the match

Efforts to force the pitch in the remaining minutes of the second half helped Thanh Hoa score a goal to increase the score to 2-1 with a rather easy goal of the player to replace Dinh Tung in the 87th minute. turn off hope of Saigon, as well as confirm 3 points for Thanh Hoa.

Coach Nguyen Duc Thang has the third win with Thanh Hoa

The victory was considered choking and dramatic before Saigon helped Thanh Hoa have 14 points, temporarily rising to 8th place on the rankings.

Saigon coach: My players have played well, creating a fair match with the home team. Saigon has overcome many strong points of Thanh Hoa. However, the outcome of the match is somewhat unfortunate for us. The Saigon players deserve a point. If we focus more, we have not conceded at the end of the game. Anyway, I congratulate the home team’s victory.
