The latest match of round 15 of V-League 2023-2024 took place at Lach Tray Stadium between Hai Phong and Thanh Hoa and ended with a 2-0 victory for the home team. The victory helped the home team temporarily escape the bottom of the table, while Thanh Hoa went through 5 consecutive matches from draw to loss and gradually moved further away from the top 3.
In a must-win situation to escape the pressure of the bottom group, Hai Phong entered the match with enthusiasm and spirit when they launched early attacks on the away team's field. In the 15th minute, the home team had an early opening goal from the 11m penalty spot. Thanh Hoa defender let the ball touch his hand in the 16m50 box, after consulting VAR, the referee determined that the penalty was awarded to Hai Phong. Lucao's shot did not defeat goalkeeper Xuan Hoang, but Huu Son's follow-up shot brought a goal for Hai Phong.
The match became more exciting after the home team's early goal when Thanh Hoa pushed up their attack. However, the solidity of the defense as well as goalkeeper Dinh Trieu had an outstanding match, keeping Hai Phong's goal steady after 45 minutes of the first half.
The “tit for tat” game continued to be exciting in the remaining half. Hai Phong’s defense blocked Thanh Hoa’s strikers, especially Rimario – the former striker of the Hai Phong team, who seemed to… disappear in this match.
In the 81st minute, from a failed clearance by a Thanh Hoa defender, striker Bicou did not miss the opportunity to double the gap to 2-0, putting an end to the visitors' efforts. With a series of 5 matches from draw to loss, Thanh Hoa seems to be moving further away from the goal of being in the top medal contenders this season.
