Former U.23 Vietnam player plays the hero to help Truong Tuoi Dong Nai win 1-0

Dong Nai School Club dominated the match

At home ground Binh Phuoc , Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club faced many difficulties against the away team Quy Nhon. Luu Tu Nhan returned to the starting lineup and together with Minh Vuong played the key roles in the attack.

However, coach Viet Thang's students were stuck with the disciplined defense of Quy Nhon Club. Cao Van Trien, the veteran midfielder of the away team, also supported the defense well, breaking up many attacks of Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club. Therefore, the first half ended without any goals being scored.

Right at the beginning of the second half, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club made a substitution when striker Alex Sandro gave way to Thanh Minh. Following that, Ngoc Tien and Quoc Loc were sent onto the field to replace the two central midfielders Ngoc Duc and Xuan Truong. Coach Viet Thang's intention was to let the young, strong, and energetic players increase the attacking tempo of Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club, putting more pressure on Quy Nhon Club's goal. At this time, Minh Vuong and Tu Nhan would retreat to play central midfielder.

This plan worked. After a series of missed opportunities, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club finally shook the opponent's net. In the 61st minute, Thanh Minh, former striker of the U.23 Vietnam team, cleverly placed himself and then lifted the ball over the head of the Quy Nhon Club goalkeeper, opening the score.

This was also the only goal of the match. Because in the remaining time, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club did not take advantage of the opportunities they created. Meanwhile, the away team Quy Nhon almost did not organize any dangerous attacks. The mobility of the young players of Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club helped the home team regain the ball relatively quickly. Quy Nhon Club was forced to play long balls in the last 10 minutes of the match and with this monotonous attack, Coach Trinh Duy Quang's students could not make a difference.

In the end, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club won 1-0. With this result, coach Viet Thang and his team have 17 points, temporarily taking the top spot from Khanh Hoa team (15 points). On the afternoon of November 9, if they win against Dong Thap Club, the coastal city team will reclaim the number 1 position.
