Ho Chi Minh City Club lost to Ha Tinh HL, Khanh Hoa lost to Nghe An SL

After 4 unbeaten matches (2 wins, 2 draws), coach Phung Thanh Phuong's Ho Chi Minh City Club is rated higher than the away team Ha Tinh.

However, it seems that coach Nguyen Thanh Cong of Ha Tinh coach has read the playing style of Ho Chi Minh City Club under coach Phung Thanh Phuong.

Mr. Thanh Cong let the home team play slowly, not rushing to push the offensive line up against Ho Chi Minh City Club, which has a knack for counter-attacking defense in recent rounds. Although in theory, Ha Tinh is a team that really needs points in this match.

After the first half without too many dangerous situations, the second half of the match was more exciting. Ha Tinh is the better team.

In the 52nd minute, Bui Van Duc on the away team warned the home team with an escape situation, entering the 16m50 area of ​​Ho Chi Minh City Club. Van Duc kicked the ball from about 16 meters, but the ball missed the home team's goal.

However, not long after, Ha Tinh found the opening goal. From the left wing, Van Duc passed the ball, eliminating the entire defense of Ho Chi Minh City Club, allowing Tran Dinh Tien to occupy the space, cushion the ball from about 8 meters, scoring the goal to seal a 1-0 victory for Ha Tinh.

This victory helps Ha Tinh team temporarily move away from bottom team Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL). Currently, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team has 6 points, 4 points more than HAGL and played one more match.
