(NLDO) - Losing 0-1 to The Cong Viettel on the evening of September 14, Hanoi Club stopped at the qualifying round of the National Cup 2025-2026

Taking the initiative to attack but not finding a goal, Van Quyet's team and his teammates had to pay a heavy price near the end of the match. In the 79th minute, foreign player Pedro Henrique shone with the only goal to help The Cong Viettel win the match, directly eliminating the team from the same city from the National Cup.
