Ha Tinh missed victory against HAGL

HAGL was sure of the relegation spot, so it lacked motivation to compete. In contrast, Ha Tinh aims to win three points to separate from the relegation group. The host was further motivated when more than 10,000 fans filled the stands of Ha Tinh stadium, cheering throughout the session.

However, at the 5th minute, they were startled. HAGL captain Vu Van Thanh took the ball on the right wing, shot from a distance of more than 25 meters, causing goalkeeper Quang Tuan to fly to the limit to block. But it was also HAGL's most remarkable situation in the first half. In this match, the away team was absent from both Nguyen Tuan Anh and Nguyen Cong Phuong.

After the death phase, Ha Tinh rose up, creating many impressive ball phases with the mobility of Dinh Thanh Trung and captain Phi Son. In the 10th minute, striker Paollo broke through on the left wing and then suddenly shot from a narrow angle from a distance of about 10 meters, opening the score for Ha Tinh. Three minutes later, the host could have doubled the gap, if goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh did not excellently refuse Dinh Thanh Trung's close-range shot. In the 21st minute, from Thanh Trung's slot, Paollo escaped to the ball past goalkeeper Tuan Linh, but sent the ball to the sky in front of an empty goal.

In the second half of the first half, Ha Tinh created no less than three clear chances, but Paollo, Thanh Trung or Van Hiep all missed the target.

Wasting the opportunity, the owner must pay the price. In the 44th minute, in a rare counterattack, Van Toan, Van Thanh and Minh Vuong coordinated to bounce. Minh Vuong then overcame the defense of defender Janclesio, penetrated the penalty area and then shot diagonally from more than 10 meters, defeating goalkeeper Quang Tuan.

At the beginning of the second half, Ha Tinh still took the initiative, but no longer created many dangerous situations on the ball. Meanwhile, thanks to Van Toan's speed, HAGL several times made the host's defender struggle to stick to the block.

In the 71st minute, the host had another chance when Van Huy escaped, but the shot simply failed to beat goalkeeper Tuan Linh from about 10 meters. At the last minute of injury time, Thanh Trung twice sent the ball narrowly past the goal.

Draw 1-1, Ha Tinh cannot be sure of relegation. They have only reached 21 points, one and two points more than the two following teams, Nam Dinh and Saigon, respectively, while the season has two rounds left. HAGL is sixth with 28 points.

Round 25, Ha Tinh marched to Hang Day Stadium to meet the top of the Hanoi table, while HAGL was a guest on Thanh Hoa Stadium.
