* PRE-MATCH COMMENTARY
After a 4-0 victory over Pacific University, Nha Trang Tourism College is in a comfortable spirit to welcome Quy Nhon University in the second match. In the first match, captain Tran Xuan Bac ( 9, Nha Trang Tourism College) performed quite well, scoring the opening goal for the team. Xuan Bac plays as a striker, has strength, good pressure and the ability to encourage team spirit during matches.
Nha Trang Tourism College is in high form at the tournament
Standing alongside and assisting Xuan Bac was player Le Thien Truong (11, Nha Trang Tourism College) who also had an impressive performance. This player has the ability to pass the ball technically and has passes that make it difficult for the opposing team’s defense. Thien Truong can play well on both wings, this is also a strong point and can meet the new playing style when coach Phan Ngoc Hau changes tactics. Nha Trang Tourism College is showing off its wing kicking and heading style well and is determined not to become a “paving” team.

New recruits from Quy Nhon University are a big question mark for the teams participating in the qualifying round for the South Central – Central Highlands region. Coming to this year’s tournament, coach Thai Minh Thuan and his team were determined to play hard and demonstrate the tactics they practiced before the tournament. During practice, the Quy Nhon University football team encountered many difficulties when encountering rainy weather and only practiced on field 7 (because there was no field 11). This has caused the players to encounter many difficulties in physical training and implementing tactics.
However, Quy Nhon University also has an “unknown” factor from the Binh Dinh U.19 team that has the power to influence the tactics proposed by coach Thai Minh Thuan. During the practice session to familiarize themselves with the field, the Quy Nhon University football team carefully practiced fixed situations, alternating between jumping and heading the ball. With these hidden factors, Quy Nhon University will have strange “fights” in the match against the Nha Trang Tourism College team.

This afternoon’s match between Nha Trang Tourism College and Quy Nhon University will have many crosses and headers, threatening the opponent’s goal. Can Nha Trang Tourism College continue to win or fall before the “unknown” rookie Quy Nhon University?
