SLNA liquidates a series of foreign players after losing 0-5 to CAHN

TPO - After losing 0-5 to CAHN in the 2024/25 National Cup final, SLNA said goodbye to foreign players Sebastian Zaracho and Benjamin Kuku.

Kuku scored the most goals in the team last season but still could not be kept.

On the homepage, the Nghe An team confirmed this information and sent two foreign players thanks for their efforts to help the team overcome difficulties in the LPBank V.League 1 campaign last season. Of which, Kuku is the team's number 1 striker with 6 goals and Zaracho is the defender with the second most appearances, with 20 matches (after Van Huy).

In the 0-5 loss to CAHN, despite his best efforts, Zaracho could not fill the huge gap in the home team's defense. Typically, in the third goal, he asked his partner to mark Leo Artur, but in the end, the CAHN striker still quickly finished the shot into the net.

After the goal, Zaracho was very disappointed and reacted harshly to his teammates for leaving space for the opponent. Or in the two situations where the net was broken after that, the 26-year-old central defender tried to stop Alan but he was not fast enough to prevent the opponent from scoring.

SLNA sends thank you message to Zaracho

Perhaps Zaracho's performance throughout the last campaign was only average. That's why SLNA parted ways with him and cleared the way for a foreign center back to replace him. There is news that Gustavo, the center back who just left Dong A Thanh Hoa , will fill the void left by Zaracho.

Gustavo is 30 years old this year, with a height of 1m95. Apart from the time he returned to Brazil to play football, Gustavo has played in Vietnam for 5 years and left a good impression. During his seasons in Thanh Hoa, he contributed a lot to help his team win the National Cup twice. Gustavo's weakness is probably his susceptibility to injuries.

Meanwhile, SLNA said goodbye to Kuku to welcome another foreign player from Brazil. It is likely that Washington Brandao, the striker whose contract was just terminated by HAGL, will arrive in Vinh.
