Hanoi The Cong defeated Hanoi Police 3-0 in round 13 on the evening of March 9, thereby breaking a streak of seven draws and losses in V-League 2023-2024.
Seven winless matches is the worst streak of The Cong in V-League history. They are expected to face many difficulties when facing Cong An Ha Noi - a team that is unbeaten in five consecutive matches and playing well under new coach Kiatisuk Senamuang. However, The Cong's changes at Hang Day Stadium on the evening of March 9 have created a positive breakthrough.
Brazilian rookie Pedro Henrique brought new life to The Cong's attack, while striker Nham Manh Dung suddenly shone. On the contrary, CAHN encountered difficulties early on when Bui Hoang Viet Anh suffered a torn lip after a collision with Pedro Henrique in the seventh minute. The midfielder returned to the field, but had difficulty maintaining stability due to the pain, and had to go to the hospital to treat the wound.

The Cong controlled the game well and took advantage of the counter-attack opportunity in the 32nd minute, when CAHN player Vu Van Thanh lost the ball after a poor corner kick. Truong Tien Anh passed the ball to Pedro who accelerated from midfield into the 5m50 box before passing it conveniently to Nham Manh Dung to tap into the empty net.
The goal helped Nham Manh Dung play with excitement, then continued to explode in the 45th minute. Receiving the ball on the left wing, the striker born in 2000 skillfully handled the ball past two CAHN defenders, then returned the favor with a favorable cross for Pedro Henrique to double the gap.
In the second half, CAHN tried to create more pressure, but the opportunities passed through the strikers' shoes. In the 58th minute, from a free kick on the left wing and 20 meters from The Cong's goal, Vu Van Thanh shot a good arc, but goalkeeper Pham Van Phong played focused to block it. 10 minutes later, Janio Fialho made a beautiful hook, sending the ball wide of the right post.
Immediately after CAHN's missed situation, The Cong organized a quick counter-attack. This time, Manh Dung ignited the substitute midfielder Khuat Van Khang to accelerate on the left wing, then fired a powerful shot across the corner to beat Filip Nguyen.
