Hoang Duc and his teammates excel
Ninh Binh Club, which was already strong, is now even stronger in the match against Hue when veteran midfielder Pham Van Thanh has fully recovered and returned to play. The former Hanoi Club player, along with Hoang Duc, Quoc Viet, Ngoc Ha, and Duc Cuong, helped the home team easily create an overwhelming game. In the first half, Ninh Binh Club created early pressure and the ball mainly rolled on Hue Club's field.
Quoc Viet has played well since the beginning of the tournament, but this is the first time he has scored for Ninh Binh Club this season.
The familiar celebration of Ninh Binh Club players
Coach Nguyen Viet Thang and his team also opened the scoring very early. Right in the 7th minute, Hoang Duc sent a precise long pass from the home field up to Quoc Viet. The former HAGL striker controlled the ball neatly and then shot diagonally into the corner, helping Ninh Binh Club take a 1-0 lead.
This goal helped Ninh Binh FC play comfortably, creating many more opportunities. However, they lacked a bit of luck to double the gap when Hoang Duc and Ngoc Ha's shots went wide or hit the post. The first half ended with only 1 goal scored.
In the second half, Ninh Binh FC slowed down their attack. This is the familiar style of play of this team whenever they take the lead. The good ball control ability of the midfield helps them not to be afraid of being pressured by the opponent. But perhaps, coach Viet Thang did not take into account that his students would make personal mistakes leading to the loss.
Hoang Duc and his teammates did not maintain pressure in the second half, so Ninh Binh Club could not create any more good opportunities.
Van Lam must thank Hoang Duc 'profusely'
In the 80th minute, Van Lam had a careless handling of the ball with his foot, opening up an opportunity to easily tie the score 1-1 for Hue Club. This was also the first goal conceded by Ninh Binh Club in the first division this season. From this moment, the "Mountain Goats" rose up to attack again in search of victory. It was not until the 90th minute that they were able to do so. From a corner kick on the right wing, the ball hit the head of a Ninh Binh Club player and flew towards the far corner of the goal. Hoang Duc was there at the right time to tap the ball in to seal the 2-1 victory for the home team.
With this victory, Ninh Binh Club takes sole possession of the top spot in the rankings with 12 absolute points after 4 matches, 2 points more than the second-placed team Binh Phuoc.
