On the evening of September 14, Binh Duong club will visit Thanh Hoa stadium in the first round of V.League 2024-2025.
Contrary to expectations, Binh Duong was the team that started the match weaker than Thanh Hoa. The home team created many scoring opportunities in the early stages of the match.
After many missed opportunities, Thanh Hoa finally got what they needed, the opening goal in the 28th minute. From a corner kick by Viet Tu, foreign player Luiz Antonio headed the ball from the edge of the penalty area. Although the opposing player headed the ball from quite a distance, goalkeeper Minh Toan was blocked from seeing the ball and could not block it.
Conceding a goal, coach Hoang Anh Tuan of Binh Duong began to adjust his personnel to save the game. Most notably was the appearance of foreign player Wellington.
These adjustments by coach Hoang Anh Tuan immediately took effect. Binh Duong was the team that completely dominated the game in the second half.
This half also witnessed the brilliant performance of striker Nguyen Tien Linh. The striker born in 1997 scored 2 consecutive goals in the 53rd and 58th minutes to help Binh Duong take the lead 2-1. Both of Tien Linh's goals were scored from difficult headers.
In the remaining time, Thanh Hoa, despite their best efforts, could not score an equalizer and accepted a 1-2 defeat at home.
The three points earned help Binh Duong have a good start to the season and coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will certainly become one of the championship candidates this season.
