Doan Ngoc Tan smiles brightly with the captain of BG Pathum United.
Doan Ngoc Tan was closely followed by Thai players.
Although he did not have much time to recover, Doan Ngoc Tan, with the captain's armband on his arm, still played quite actively in the role of a shuttle, helping Thanh Hoa Club's midfield play solidly against BG Pathum United's small-group coordination.
During most of the match, Doan Ngoc Tan was the one called the most, as he was constantly closely marked by Thai players from BG Pathum United, not afraid to commit fouls.
However, unfortunately for coach Popov and his team, at the end of the first half they lost a very important player Gustavo, forcing the Bulgarian coach to replace him with veteran Le Van Thang.
Ngoc Tan scored the opening goal for Thanh Hoa Club
On the other side of the field, coach Surachai also adjusted the attack, strengthening with striker Ilham Fandi replacing Chananan Phombuppha in order to penetrate the defense led by center back Thanh Long.
Going into this match, Group A has 3 teams leading with 4 points: PSM Makkassar, BG Pathum United and Thanh Hoa Club. Therefore, the Thai representative really wants to take advantage of home field to take all 3 points against the team leading the V-League rankings this season.
Seeing star Chanathip Songkrasin warming up on the sidelines, many people were waiting for the prospect of this midfielder entering the field and confronting Doan Ngoc Tan in the midfield. In fact, the "Thai Messi" was put on the field from the 60th minute.
Holding gold but letting it fall
Chanathip and BG Pathum had a draw at home
But before Chanathip could show his ability, the entire Pathum Thani stadium fell silent, only the cheers of two Vietnamese fans could be heard after Doan Ngoc Tan's unstoppable volley helped Thanh Hoa FC take a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute.
Unfortunately, the Thanh team's defense, without Gustavo, despite playing resiliently, could not stand firm, when Chanathip assisted Nonthasira to equalize 1-1 in the 87th minute, to the relief of Thai fans present at the stadium and thousands of "War Elephant" fans on television.
This draw is considered a success for Thanh Hoa Club as they lost their mainstay centre-back Gustavo early in the first half, helping Doan Ngoc Tan and his teammates temporarily rank second in Group A with 15 points (equal to BG Pathum United), temporarily behind PSM Makassar who has 7 points.
Doan Ngoc Tan continues to make his mark on Thai land.
After the match, Ngoc Tan shared: "It was a beautiful goal, I felt great but if Thanh Hoa Club had all 3 points today, it would be even better.
Whether I play for Thanh Hoa Club or the Vietnam national team, I always try my best, put in my best effort, and give it my all. That's my playing style.
I would like to thank Vietnamese fans who have always cheered for the Vietnamese team and today cheered for Thanh Hoa Club."
