Foreign duo shines, Thanh Hoa Club takes second place in V-League

The home team Khanh Hoa just had a regrettable national cup match when they lost to Ha Tinh FC on away field in a penalty shootout. However, coach Vo Dinh Tan and his team still showed a determined fighting spirit. Meanwhile, the away team Thanh Hoa FC has had 5 very successful recent matches and is highly appreciated in their away trip to the coastal city of Nha Trang.

With the determination to get points right away, coach Velizar Popov deployed very strong foreign players such as Rimario , Gustavo, Luiz Antonio along with the presence of central midfielder who just returned from the Vietnam national team, Thai Son. Despite having a superior squad compared to the home team, the team currently ranked 4th on the V-League rankings, Thanh Hoa Club, could not have a good game against Khanh Hoa Club in the first 45 minutes.

Perhaps the slippery pitch made it difficult for Thanh Hoa FC to launch attacks. Not only that, coach Velizar Popov's team almost had to "pay the price" in the 50th minute when the home team's foreign player Lezard had a chance to face goalkeeper Xuan Hoang but unfortunately the home team player's shot was too weak.

In the 67th minute, Lezard once again missed the chance to open the score for the home team when his free kick hit the crossbar. Unable to take advantage of the opportunity to open the score, the home team had to pay the price just 2 minutes later when Luiz Antonio broke the deadlock with a beautiful and tricky long-range shot to beat goalkeeper Ngoc Cuong and thereby help Thanh Hoa Club open the score.

In the 80th minute, it was Romario's turn to shine with a precise cross-angle shot to help the away team raise the score to 2-0. The home team Khanh Hoa's efforts to reduce the score in the remaining time of the match were unsuccessful against a solid Thanh Hoa Club. With a 2-0 away win, coach Velizar Popov's team temporarily rose to 2nd place on the rankings. Meanwhile, Khanh Hoa Club fell to 11th place.
