SLNA dominated the game, but unfortunately for the visitors, their captain and goalkeeper Van Lam sustained an injury and had to leave the field in the 37th minute.

Meanwhile, coach Phan Nhu Thuat expressed great satisfaction with the performance of the young SLNA players. The opening match of the new year at Vinh Stadium attracted a large crowd of spectators. "I am very grateful to the fans for accompanying us. What I am most pleased about in this match is that the players played with great spirit, unity, and confidence. We always want to create opportunities for young players so that they can mature quickly," said Coach Thuat.
In this match, the captain's armband for SLNA was given to foreign player Olaha. "Olaha is a good player, he has been playing for many years, has a lot of experience and has been with SLNA for quite a long time, so I have a lot of confidence in him. Although Olaha didn't score in this match, he played very well," Coach Thuật shared.
Despite being brought back into the starting lineup after a series of suspensions, Dinh Xuan Tien did not play in this match. Coach Thuat explained: "We kept Xuan Tien on the bench and planned to bring him on in the second half, but after scoring a goal, the tactics changed."
