Vietnamese U23 midfielder speaks from the heart after scoring against HAGL

Minh Phuc of Vietnam U23 is delighted to net his first goal for CAHN in this campaign.

Despite establishing an 8-point lead over second-placed Ninh Bình following the victory against HAGL, CAHN remains highly focused on the road ahead. Pham Minh Phuc emphasized: "We are not thinking about the championship at the moment. The journey ahead is still quite long; not only Ninh Bình but also many other strong teams are ready to chase us. Our goal is to fight with all our might and accumulate points match by match until the tournament concludes."

For Minh Phuc personally, this marks a memorable milestone as he scored his first goal for CAHN in this season's V.League. The player wearing jersey number 22 emotionally shared: "I am very happy to have opened my scoring account today and contributed to the team's overall victory. In V.League, no match is easy; this was truly a hard-fought win for the entire team."

The match at Hang Day Stadium was far from easy for the home team. HAGL started confidently and surprisingly took the lead in the first half, forcing CAHN into a chasing position. The visitors' tight and aggressive play made it difficult for the home attack to find a way to goal.

The turning point came only after the break. Personnel adjustments and a heightened competitive spirit helped CAHN change the game's complexion. Pham Minh Phuc was introduced and quickly scored a crucial equalizer, creating favorable momentum for the Public Security team to increase the pressure.

Sharing thoughts on the comeback, Minh Phuc stated: "Coach Polking always tells us that even when the result isn't favorable, we must always believe in ourselves, in our preparation, and in what we have practiced. The second half was the reward for our effort as the whole team persisted with our established style of play." That very belief helped CAHN deliver an explosive performance in the second half.

After the equalizer, foreign player Rogerio Alves (China) continued to shine with a classy brace, completing an emotional 3-1 victory. This performance once again demonstrated CAHN's squad depth and ability to turn the tide in difficult moments.
