After an unsatisfactory start with 2 losses, Muangthong United found themselves again and in the last 2 rounds of the Thai League 2019, they won both.
Since the beginning of the season, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam has always been trusted by the coaching staff to provide a starting position. In all matches played, the goalkeeper of the Vietnam National Team always plays at the shoulder level or higher. Even in the match in round 2 of the Thai League, Thai newspapers criticized the entire Muangthong United team, except Van Lam.
After getting the first 3 points against Chiangmai, Dang Van Lam and his teammates continued to win in the 3-2 chase match against Chiangrai. Like the previous 3 rounds, Van Lam is considered to be in stable form in front of Muangthong United's goal. Siam Sports gave the Vietnam national team goalkeeper a score of 6.5 despite having to pick the ball out of the net twice.
In these 2 goals, Muangthong United's defense continued to show uncertainty when allowing the opposing player to dribble past 3 defenders in the first goal, and comfortably coordinated in the penalty area in the second goal.
Fortunately for Van Lam's team, foreign player Herbety had an excellent match with a hat-trick to help Muangthong United score 3 goals. That is the reason why this foreign player is rated the highest with 7.5 points.
Up front, captain Teerasil Dangda and Korawich Tasa - the authors of the first two goals for Muangthong Untited - received 7 points.
Winning 3 valuable points away, Muangthong United's ranking improved significantly in the 2019 Thai League. They temporarily rose to 7th place after the first 3 rounds of decline in the bottom half of the rankings.
