CAHN Club beat Hong Kong team by a big margin: Leading the Asian Cup C2 table, Coach Polking is as happy as Tet

CAHN Club has an impressive start

The unfortunate 2-2 draw at Beijing Guoan Stadium has put Hanoi Police Club (CAHN Club) in a must-win position when hosting Tai Po (Hong Kong), in the second match of AFC Champions League 2 taking place at 7:15 p.m. on October 2.

Meanwhile, Tai Po did not necessarily need to win. A surprise 2-1 victory over MacArthur (Australia) meant the Hong Kong representative only needed a minimum of 1 point to avoid being overtaken by CAHN Club.

However, with their superior strength, CAHN Club did not let their opponents leave with a point. Coach Alexandre Polking's students rushed forward to pressure Tai Po from the first minutes, thanks to a series of attacking talents such as Vitao, Stefan Mauk, Alan Grafite, Rogerio Alves and Leo Artur.

The return of Alan Grafite gives Leo Artur someone to "share the fire". This compatible duo has helped CAHN Club control the game and continuously unlock the Tai Po defense.

In the 27th minute, Tai Po's net shook under the pressure of the home team. Van Do penetrated the right wing and passed to CAHN club's foreign player Rogerio Alves to finish. The ball hit the Tai Po defender and changed direction into the net, bringing home a goal to relieve the pressure on the home team.

In the 32nd minute, Rogerio again chose a sharp position and this time, he put his name on the scoreboard. The new player of CAHN Club received a cross from Leo Artur and finished comfortably from close range, doubling the gap for Coach Polking's team.

Big win

The 2-0 score in the first half helped CAHN Club have a more comfortable game after the break. The home team proactively retreated to give control to Tai Po, but still had sharp counterattacks.

In the 62nd minute, CAHN Club pressed well to win the ball, opening up a huge space for Vitao in front of the penalty area. But instead of passing the ball to Alves, Vitao chose to shoot straight into the near corner, sending the ball wide of the post.

Coach Polking’s disappointed face after Vitao’s miss was a detail in the overall picture of CAHN’s wastefulness. Although there were many spaces to score, the home strikers did not take advantage of them.

In the 65th minute, Van Do passed the ball to Leo Artur who shot from outside the penalty area. The ball went low and dangerously, but still could not hit the goal. The effectiveness of CAHN Club's shots on target (2 times) was even worse than Tai Po's (5 times). In the 73rd minute, Alan Grafite's header defeated Tai Po's goalkeeper, but the ball hit the crossbar.

It wasn't until the 89th minute that CAHN FC found the winning goal to win 3-0. Leo Artur crossed the ball with perfect accuracy for Alan Grafite to head it across. Van Duc rushed in as fast as lightning to finish close to the goal, ending the impressive performance of the Vietnamese representative.

Defeating Tai Po, CAHN Club took the top spot in Group E with 4 points after 2 matches (tied with Beijing Guoan and won against Tai Po).

In the remaining match, MacArthur (Australia) won Beijing Guoan Club (China) with a resounding score of 3-0 at home. Therefore, Tai Po is still in second place with 3 points, MacArthur has 3 points but is in third place due to a poor head-to-head record. Beijing Guoan Club is at the bottom with only 1 point after 2 matches.

In the third round, CAHN Club will continue to play at home to welcome MacArthur. The match will take place at 7:15 p.m. on October 23.
