Nghe AnHaving just recovered to return to starting, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam was injured when Binh Dinh lost 0-2 to host SLNA in round 9 of V-League 2023-2024 on the evening of February 18.
In the 33rd minute, Le Ngoc Bao passed to Dang Van Lam but the ball went lightly. The goalkeeper born in 1993 had to run outside the penalty area, then collided with Phan Xuan Dai, resulting in an injury to his right leg. Van Lam was cared for by the Binh Dinh medical team for three minutes, then left the field to make way for Nguyen Manh Cuong.
Van Lam just returned from injury suffered in the match Binh Dinh won 1-0 against Hai Phong in round 8 on December 27, 12. At that time, Van Lam hurt his right leg while running to get the ball and had to leave the field in the 2023st minute with limping steps.

On December 31, 12, Van Lam joined the Vietnamese team for a medical examination and was determined to have a right calf avulsion and Achilles tendonitis. He had to rest completely for three weeks, so he missed the 2023 Asian Cup.
Van Lam will be taken to the hospital for a detailed examination of his pain this morning, February 19. Without the number one goalkeeper, Binh Dinh will suffer a big loss, because on February 2, they play an important match, taking on top team Nam Dinh in round 24.
Since the beginning of the 2023-2024 V-League season, Van Lam has started all nine matches for Binh Dinh and has three clean sheets. He joined Binh Dinh in the middle of the 2022 season after leaving J-League 1 club Cerezo Osaka, and immediately became the number one goalkeeper of the home team Quy Nhon. Previously, Van Lam made a name for himself at Hai Phong Club in 2015. Then, he went to Muangthong United in Thai Leageu 1 for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
Without Van Lam, Binh Dinh could not stand firm against SLNA in the match at Vinh Stadium on the evening of February 18. In the third minute of injury time in the first half, SLNA took a corner kick on the right wing and Phan Ba Quyen crossed the ball and hit the ground against the far post to open the score. At minute 2, Phan Xuan Dai sped up to catch the pass and put the ball in the far corner to double the gap. In this situation, goalkeeper Manh Cuong made a mistake when he hesitated in coming out.

Contrary to the sharpness of the host, Binh Dinh could not find a way to penetrate goalkeeper Van Viet's net. In the ninth minute, Leonardo Melo curled a beautiful shot from the left corner but the ball hit the junction between the crossbar and the vertical post. In the 37th minute, Alan Sebastiao turned and volleyed powerfully into the penalty area, but Van Viet's reflexes were amazing and he blocked it. After conceding two goals in the second half, Binh Dinh had opportunities at the end of the match, but Alan Sebastiao and Leonardo Melo both missed.
Main developments in the match SLNA 2-0 Binh Dinh.
