Viettel marched to Pleiku yard with high confidence. Away from home, the team of soldiers still played, creating more dangerous opportunities than HAGL.
However, football is not a sport for what is “worthy”, and HAGL punishes the waste of the opponent’s opportunity with a decisive goal in the last minute.
After the match, coach Popov could not hide the disappointment: “We control the game well, creating more opportunities but still losing. It is painful, but also an attractive part of football – the team is better not always the winning team.
I have experienced many failures, but rarely as bitter as today. HAGL is also the only team in Vietnam that I have never defeated. ”
Even so, he kept the optimistic spirit: “We always play well against HAGL but there is no desired results. Today too – less fortunate, not taking advantage of the opportunity.
But if there is a defeat worth learning and proud, it is this match. I like this defeat – lost in the overwhelming position. ”
With this defeat, Viettel almost stopped the chance of winning the V-League when it was 9 points behind Nam Dinh.
