Hoàng Hên shines brightly, Hanoi convincingly defeats CAHN

(Football result) - Hoàng Hên plays a major role with a double goal, assisting Hanoi FC to beat CAHN 2-1 in the Capital derby during round 15 of V-League.

The Capital derby between Hanoi FC and CAHN was exciting from the very first minutes as both teams proactively pushed forward their formations to play attacking football. The midfield witnessed many fierce contests. CAHN exerted better pressure with attacks on the left flank thanks to Đình Bắc's speed; however, his shots, as well as those from Leo Artur and Pendant Quang Vinh, lacked sufficient accuracy to beat goalkeeper Quan Văn Chuẩn.

While being pressed on the field, Hanoi FC surprisingly scored the opening goal in the 27th minute. Utilizing a gap in CAHN's defense, Đỗ Hoàng Hên unleashed a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area, sending the ball straight into the top corner of the goal. In the remaining minutes of the first half, CAHN continued to seek an equalizer, notably Đình Bắc's shot in the 38th minute, but the ball went directly to goalkeeper Văn Chuẩn's position. The first half ended with a 1-0 advantage for the home team.

In the second half, CAHN increased their attacking intensity by adding a forward to the field and switching to an all-out attacking formation. However, before they could score, the visiting team conceded another goal in the 74th minute. David Fisher was fouled by Filip Nguyễn inside the penalty area, and from the 11-meter spot, Đỗ Hoàng Hên easily defeated the CAHN goalkeeper to complete his brace, raising the score to 2-0 for Hanoi FC.

CAHN's efforts only helped them score a consolation goal in the 90+4th minute. VAR confirmed that a visiting team player was fouled inside the penalty area, and Leo Artur successfully executed the penalty kick. Nevertheless, the remaining time was insufficient for CAHN to reverse the situation, forcing them to accept a 1-2 defeat against Hanoi FC.

Notable information before the Hanoi vs CAHN match:

The focal match of this round is the clash between Hanoi FC (21 points) and CAHN (35 points). Despite recently losing to Thể Công Viettel in a "Capital derby" in round 14, Hanoi FC still shows they are a formidable collective with players capable of competing for top positions in V.League. In the previous match, the purple-shirted team created many opportunities, especially in the second half, but lacked sharpness to convert them into goals.

In hosting CAHN, Hanoi FC will not have the services of forward Passira, but they welcome the return of "conductor" Hùng Dũng in the midfield. With this important addition, the Capital team can certainly pose a significant challenge for CAHN – considered a strong contender for this season's championship, even though the visiting team's current form is rated slightly better.

Besides professional factors, the match also attracts attention due to the reunion of many stars who once wore Hanoi FC's jersey but are now playing for CAHN, such as Quang Hải, Đình Trọng, Việt Anh, and Văn Hậu. Additionally, the tactical duel on the coaching benches between Coach Polking and Harry Kewell promises to bring many tactical highlights, creating a match predicted to be exciting and rich in professional quality.

Good news also comes for CAHN as Ninh Bình was recently held to a draw by Đà Nẵng. CAHN currently leads the next opponent by 7 points and has 2 matches left. If they win against Hanoi FC in the Capital derby, CAHN will extend the gap to 10 points with 1 match remaining, creating a huge advantage in the V-League championship race.

Expected lineup for the Hanoi vs CAHN match

Hanoi:Văn Chuẩn, Xuân Mạnh, Thành Chung, Duy Mạnh, Công Nhật, Adriel, Văn Quyết, Hùng Dũng, Tuấn Hải, Hendrio, Fernando.

CAHN:Filip Nguyễn, Văn Hậu, Việt Anh, Đình Trọng, Quang Vinh, Văn Đô, Quang Hải, Vitao, Mauk, Đình Bắc, Leo Artur.
