CAHN Club in trouble
The early match against Hai Phong FC at Hang Day Stadium (September 13) is a golden opportunity for Hanoi Police FC (CAHN FC) to take the top spot. If they win all 3 points against Hai Phong, CAHN FC will temporarily take the top spot with 10 points, 1 point more than Ninh Binh.
However, Hai Phong FC is not an easy opponent. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team won two consecutive matches against PVF-CAND (3-1) and SLNA (2-0) to return to the top group. The team from the port city has a clear philosophy and a high fighting spirit despite not having any stars in the squad.

The match was more difficult than expected, when CAHN Club controlled the game, but had difficulty finding a way past Hai Phong's defense. In just the first 5 minutes, Hugo Gomes and Quang Hai took turns getting close to Dinh Trieu's goal, but their shots lacked accuracy.
After 15 minutes of unsuccessful attacks, CAHN Club let Hai Phong regain control of the game. In the 26th minute, taking advantage of Nguyen Filip's faulty attack, Huu Nam boldly shot outside the penalty area, sending the ball just over the bar.
CAHN Club increased the pressure, passing the ball to Leo Artur to break through and find a shooting angle. In the 35th minute, the Brazilian striker pushed the ball once and then shot at the near corner but could not beat Dinh Trieu.
At the end of the first half, it was Nguyen Filip's turn to prove his worth. Hai Phong's striker Friday dribbled and turned skillfully to eliminate central defender Viet Anh, but his close-range shot could not get past Filip's reasonable footwork.

In the second half, CAHN Club continued to attack, while Hai Phong Club defended and waited for counterattacks with quick moves.

In the 49th minute, Huu Son dribbled past two CAHN club players. Realizing Nguyen Filip was up high, the Hai Phong midfielder shot powerfully from a distance, but Nguyen Filip was able to retreat and control the situation.
1 minute later, Leo Artur fired a half-bounced shot that hit the crossbar of Hai Phong's goal. Van Do rushed in to kick the ball back, but Dinh Trieu was able to close the angle to save the goal. This move also represented the tactics of CAHN Club in this match, waiting for Artur's creativity to open up opportunities to overcome Hai Phong's tight defense.
Hai Phong Club only lasted 64 minutes. Leo Artur broke through the siege, then passed the ball just in time for Quang Hai to accurately place his left foot to beat Dinh Trieu, opening the score for CAHN Club.
In the 70th minute, Leo Artur himself played the leading role with a goal that doubled the gap. Receiving a pass from Van Duc on the left edge of the penalty area, the Brazilian midfielder curled the ball beautifully past Dinh Trieu, raising the score to 2-0.
This moment also decided the outcome of the match, when CAHN Club did not let the opponent overthrow. What Hai Phong Club could only do was Tien Dung's honorary goal in the 90+3 minute.
Defeating Hai Phong FC 2-1, CAHN FC climbed to the top with 10 points after 4 rounds (3 wins, 1 draw). This is an encouraging victory, before the reigning National Cup champion advances to the "big sea" of AFC Champions League 2.
