Hoang Anh Gia Lai 1-2 Yokohama F.Marinos | Failed attempt

In HAGL’s 5-3-2 diagram, coach Kiatisuk arranged two foreign soldiers Mauricio and Kim Dong Su along with Huu Tuan to form a trio of central defenders in front of goalkeeper Tuan Linh’s goal. Van Thanh on the right and Hong Duy on the left can play the role of a full-back but can also rise as a winger. In the midfield, Tuan Anh is responsible for coordinating in the middle of the field while Cong Phuong is on the right and Brandao is on the left. Van Toan and Jefferson are the two attacking arrows above, but when needed, Van Toan can retreat deep to support the midfield. At that time, Jefferson became the only spearhead in the front line of HAGL.

With such a layout and with the support of nearly 10,000 spectators on the field, the mountain town team started off very excited. Van Thanh’s quick sloping steps on the right side of the border brought a great danger to the defense of Yokohama F.Marinos. And almost, this right-back blew up the bridge before after a dribbling phase, HAGL’s defender hit a corner to block goalkeeper Takaoka, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and went out in the minute. Thursday.

The loss of a goal is like a wake-up call of the Japanese football representative. The level and experience of a big team helped Yokohama F.Marinos to reorganize the match, calmly deploying to the ball. Those pressures helped Kevin Muscat’s army enjoy fixed situations and scored 2 consecutive goals. The first was from a corner in the 19th minute, Leonardo Sousa easily jerked his heel to put the ball into a narrow corner to knock down goalkeeper Tuan Linh. In this situation, HAGL made a defensive mistake when he was negligent and did not catch people so that Yokohama F.Marinos player could freely show his technique and then score. Six minutes later, the representative of the J.League got the second goal after a direct free kick with a high ball to let Leonardo jump to head it to make it 2-0.

Losing 2 goals quickly, but HAGL still played very determined and did not give up hope of finding a goal. In the 32nd minute, the efforts of Mr. Kiatisuk’s army paid off when from Cong Phuong’s corner, centre-back Mauricio joined the header and scored a goal to shorten the score to 1-2 for the home team. at minute 32.

Early in the second half, Yokohama F.Marinos warned HAGL with Leonardo Sousa’s header. However, HAGL then also kicked back with Tuan Anh’s long shot in the 52nd minute, but it was not dangerous enough to knock down goalkeeper Takaota. Two opportunities are shared equally for each team as stimulating more excitement for the players. HAGL played very confidently, creating an equal position with Yokohama F.Marinos. However, the attack of the Japanese team has players who are better able to seize opportunities, so they have repeatedly threatened Tuan Linh’s goal.

The most significant was the situation when Leonanrdo headed like a ball, but goalkeeper Tuan Linh excellently saved it. On HAGL’s side, the two most unfortunate opportunities took place in the last minutes but did not convert into goals. In the 88th minute, Xuan Truong shot a long shot and hit the opponent’s defender’s foot, and goalkeeper Takaoka watched, but the ball rolled out. Not long after, Huu Tuan had the opportunity to close the city but did not finish successfully.

In the end, HAGL received a 1-2 defeat on the opening day of the 2022 AFC Champions League- Group H.
