On the evening of September 18, Hanoi Police Club had an emotional opening match in AFC Champions League Two when they held Beijing Guoan to a 2-2 draw away from home. Despite playing impressively in the first half and creating many chances, the Vietnamese representative still could not take all 3 points due to individual mistakes.

Right from the start of the match, coach Mano Polking's players entered the match with confidence. In the 15th minute, from a coherent coordination situation on the left wing, Leo Artur assisted center-back Vitao to finish with an accurate one-touch shot, opening the score for Hanoi Police. This goal helped the police team become more excited, they controlled the game better and continuously created storms. Dinh Bac, Leo Artur and Pendant Quang Vinh all had dangerous shots, in which the ball twice found the goal post of Beijing Guo'an.

However, the waste of opportunities made Hanoi Police pay the price in the second half. Just a few minutes after the break, Chi Zhongguo fired a dangerous long-range shot that defeated Filip Nguyen, bringing the match back to balance. In the 65th minute, the Vietnamese-American goalkeeper continued to make a mistake when he carelessly passed the ball, allowing Zhang Yuan to take advantage and score, raising the score to 2-1 for the home team.

Not accepting the unfavorable result, Hanoi Police strongly rose up. In the 73rd minute, in a chaotic situation in the penalty area, the Chinese striker finished accurately, equalizing 2-2. With high morale, the away team continued to invade the opponent's field, creating many dangerous opportunities but not one was successful. The final minutes even witnessed a scuffle between players from both sides, causing Pendant Quang Vinh to receive a yellow card.

The 2-2 score was clearly a regrettable result for Hanoi Police. The Vietnamese team played well in the first half, could have ended the match early if they had taken advantage of their opportunities, but let the victory slip away due to individual mistakes.
