Tuan Hai brings Hanoi FC to the top of the V-League

Before the home team was in the last group, Hanoi easily controlled the game and created many opportunities. But it was not until the 38th minute that they had a controversial goal. Van Quyet hit the ball for Lucao in the penalty area so that this foreign soldier could press well, defeating the host keeper. Many players in Ho Chi Minh City reacted to the referee because they thought the guest striker was offside. Slow motion shows Lucao was standing under the HCM City defender, but the goal was still recognized.

However, Ho Chi Minh City was "compensated" at the beginning of the second half. From the home's left side attack, centre-back Duy Manh tried to clear the ball but accidentally brought the ball to Mansaray so that the striker could face the goal and easily beat goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong to equalize 1-1 for the owner. home. The coaching staff of Ho Chi Minh City and the audience on T Thong Nhat Stadium were extremely excited with this goal. Coach Vu Tien Thanh even ran into the yard to celebrate with his students.

But the home team's joy did not last long. Hanoi FC attacked aggressively and again took the lead 2-1 after only four minutes. The ball was hung in the penalty area for Tuan Hai to control with his chest and then finished one touch to beat Thanh Thang.

In the last minutes, Ho Chi Minh City surged to find an equalizer but failed. They were therefore lax in defense, and Hanoi FC took the opportunity to counterattack to score the third goal, sealing a 3-1 victory. Tuan Hai continued to imprint his shoes with a horizontal stretch that made the home defender own an own goal.

In addition to the situation of taking advantage of the guest team's mistake to score a 1-1 equalizer, Ho Chi Minh City played well this match, creating many situations to threaten the opponent's goal. But on the attack, Mansaray proved impatient, so the ending was ineffective. And Hoang Vu Samson is slow and not as dangerous as it was at his peak, so it is easy to be neutralized by Hanoi FC players.

Thanks to this victory, Hanoi FC rose to the top of the V-League 2023 with the same 11 points but stood above Thanh Hoa thanks to the difference. The HCM City Club, with three points, is still in the bottom group.

In the 6th round, Ho Chi Minh City received Binh Dinh, while Hanoi FC returned to the home ground with Hai Phong on April 13.
