Van Lam sidelined in the second consecutive victory of Muangthong

Muangthong United hosted Chonburi Club in the fourth round of Thai League 1 yesterday.

After the first win of the season in the previous round, coach Alexandre Gama made no changes in Muangthong United's starting line-up in this match. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam had the second consecutive match not playing and had to make room for Somporn.

Playing at home, Muangthong United actively accelerates the pace of the game. They created many opportunities and Brazilian striker Derley found the net in the 19th minute of the match.

Having the advantage after the first 45 minutes, Muangthong United actively reduced the tempo of the match in the second half. This helped Chonburi to gain more control of the ball and create some opportunities.

However, the certainty of the defense, as well as the goalkeeper Somporn, helped SCG owners not concede and win the second consecutive in this season.

More significantly, this is also the second match Muangthong United kept a clean sheet with the presence of Somporn as a goalkeeper. This makes Dang Van Lam's future at the Thai team darker

In the previous season, Dang Van Lam was trusted and started in all 30 matches.

However, this season, the goalkeeper of Vietnam was pushed to the bench in the third round although the competition was not too bad. This makes fans feel worried for Dang Van Lam's performance before focusing on the team in March.
