SLNA defeats Hai Phong, securing their third consecutive victory

(Football result) - SLNA excellently defeated Hai Phong with a minimal score in round 15 of V-League.

SLNA is experiencing an impressively strong comeback momentum with a streak of 2 consecutive wins by defeating higher-rated teams like Viettel or Ha Tinh. Returning to their home stadium in Vinh to host Hai Phong, an opponent with a 5-match non-winning streak, SLNA played confidently aiming to secure all 3 points.

However, with both teams' offensive lines being quite poor, the first half ended with almost no truly noteworthy situations. In the second half, from a highly blameworthy mistake by the defense, SLNA obtained the only goal of the match thanks to foreign player Reon Moore.

In the 48th minute, Bui Tien Dung made a rather premature pass back while goalkeeper Dinh Trieu was also not ready to rush out. Reon Moore quickly exploited this mistake to steal the ball, bypass goalkeeper Dinh Trieu, and finally easily shot into the empty goal, opening the score for SLNA.

Hai Phong afterward endeavored to find an equalizing goal but was helpless against the aggressive and passionate play of SLNA's young players. Ultimately the 1-0 score was maintained until the end of the match and SLNA secured a highly valuable minimal victory. The 3 points help SLNA rise to the 8th position on the standings and maintain a fairly safe distance from the relegation battle group.
