HAGL continues to be unbeaten in V-League 2023

* Score: Dinh Bao 16' – Jairo Filho 46' .

HAGL lost power when midfielder Pape Diakite was suspended for receiving all three yellow cards from the beginning of the tournament. Coach Kiatisuk surprised when he filled the place with a little-known player Tran Dinh Bao, but it was he who made the difference. In the 16th minute, HAGL was awarded a free kick close to the left-wing penalty area. Midfielder Tran Minh Vuong threw a pass to the second column right on the momentum of Dinh Bao, allowing the player with number 66 to score the opening goal.

However, the goal did not make the game more attractive, but witnessed the closeness of the two teams' attack. The possession of the ball is almost equal with 49% belonging to the home team, and the number of shots is four - just one more than the visitors. In the 43rd minute, HAGL had more dangerous opportunities with Paollo Oliveira's shot hitting the post.

In the second half, HAGL's defense made an early mistake in a fixed situation. From the corner of the left wing, midfielder Jairo Filho bravely headed the equalizer for Khanh Hoa. After that, the two teams continued to have difficulty finding their way into each other's goal.

Towards the end, Khanh Hoa focused on preserving the score, giving the game to the host. HAGL took advantage of the highlight in the 76th minute with Washington Brandao's right side climb and then stretched into the penalty area, but Paollo hit goalkeeper Ngoc Cuong in an empty position.

Draw 1-1, HAGL missed the opportunity to break into the medal competition group, temporarily ranked fifth with eight points. However, coach Kiatisuk's teachers and students kept an unbeaten record of six matches from the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, Khanh Hoa has six points ranked ninth.
