The crossbar saves Da Nang on the Ha Tinh field
In the 90th minute, from the corner kick on the left wing, the ball was messed up in front of the Da Nang goal, defender Dao Van Nam leaned over and hooked his left foot to hook the ball, causing the crossbar to bounce off. It was also the most remarkable situation of the match. In the technical area and in the stands, Ha Tinh's coaching staff and many spectators held their heads in regret. The away team players are happy because they narrowly escaped.
In fact, before the crossbar rejected Van Nam, both teams played weakly, not making much of a mark. Ha Tinh without Phi Son caused the wings to lose their creativity. Da Nang is playing with maximum caution because it is under pressure at the bottom of the table.
Ha Tinh pressed the visitors right from the opening whistle, but did not create dangerous situations, because the away team defended the majority. Pinto or Dinh Thanh Trung, in turn, shot far away to try their luck, but the ball went to the sky. Da Nang was almost clustered, there was no dangerous ball in the first half.
In the second half, Ha Tinh showed determination to win 3 points when launching some attacking players like Van Long and Trung Trung on the field. In the 46th minute, the host had a rhythmic attack. Van Duc took the ball on the left wing, passed it inside to striker Diallo, from a distance of 5 m, this foreign soldier cushioned the ball and hit the crossbar. Although the referee raised the flag for offside, the Da Nang players still breathed a sigh of relief.
Da Nang almost only knows how to defend, mainly playing long balls, there are no counterattacks when the strikers are often hungry for the ball. The match was only really exciting when it came to injury time, from the back of Ha Tinh defender Dao Van Nam's leaning phase to hit the crossbar. After this phase of the ball, the Nang side was somewhat frantic. In the 91st minute, the ball went all the way, the home side wanted to put the ball into play quickly, but a member of the away team's coaching staff kept the ball. The two sides collided, forcing the referee to intervene again.
Draw 0-0, Ha Tinh ranked 8th on the standings with 6 points, while Da Nang continued to stay at the bottom of the table with only 2 points. In the sixth round, Ha Tinh was a guest in Thanh Hoa, while Da Nang returned home to host the champion candidate Viettel.
At the post-match press conference, Nguyen Cong Manh, assistant coach of the Ha Tinh team, said that Phi Son's absence caused the team to lose an important tactical choice. However, one point also made the coaching staff satisfied.
And Mr. Phan Thanh Hung, head coach of Da Nang, said that the team's current problem is a decline in defense. "With the current difficult situation, the next matches, we need to try to solve each match, can't lose anymore," Hung said.
