CAHN Club launches strong personnel
The match between Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) and Ha Tinh Club is considered the highlight of the round of 16 of the 2024 - 2025 National Cup. In addition to participating in the V-League, CAHN and Ha Tinh Clubs have both been in good form since the beginning of the 2024 - 2025 season. In the last 5 matches played at home, CAHN Club has shown formidable form when winning all 5 and not conceding any goals. Meanwhile, with excellent defensive play and the ability to shine of individuals on the attack line such as Geovane, Mbo, Ha Tinh Club is the only team still undefeated in the 2024 - 2025 V-League.
Determined to win a ticket to the quarterfinals, in the match on the evening of January 14, CAHN and Ha Tinh clubs both took to the field with their best lineups. On CAHN's side, the 2024 AFF Cup champions such as Quang Hai, Nguyen Filip, and Van Thanh were all in the best shape, starting from the start. On the other side of the front line, stars such as Luong Xuan Truong, Trong Hoang, etc. also participated.
Ha Tinh Club and CAHN Club both fielded very strong squads with the goal of winning tickets to the quarter-finals.
With the advantage of playing at home at Hang Day Stadium, CAHN Club started the match confidently and dominated Ha Tinh throughout the first half. Coach Polking's team controlled the ball 65% of the time and deployed a variety of attacking tactics. In addition to crosses from the two wings by Van Thanh or Van Do, the home team often coordinated short passes in the middle. In the 14th minute, striker Alan eliminated 2 Ha Tinh players to break into the penalty area but unfortunately his shot could not beat goalkeeper Thanh Tung. Just 4 minutes later, Phan Van Duc continued to threaten Ha Tinh Club's goal with a shot that went just wide of the post.
Despite playing aggressively from the start of the match, it was not until the 37th minute that CAHN FC found the opening goal. Starting from a free kick on the left wing, Leo Artur passed the ball smoothly for Alan to cut in and finish, not giving the Ha Tinh FC goalkeeper any chance to block.
On the day he returned to the main squad, Quang Hai also had an outstanding performance in the first half. The midfielder wearing the number 19 shirt still showed his importance with his impressive ability to control and coordinate the ball. Quang Hai often returned to the midfield to receive the ball and then made brilliant passes to the strikers on the attack line. Unfortunately, at the final touches, Alan or Artur often missed the rhythm, causing CAHN Club to not be able to score more goals in the first half.

On the opposite side, Ha Tinh Club chose their familiar defensive counter-attacking style. Foreign player Mbo was the highest player on the attack line but could not bring about a breakthrough because he was closely followed by CAHN Club's defense. Throughout the first half, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team only controlled the ball 35% and fired 3 shots, but all of them were inaccurate. The most dangerous situation that Ha Tinh Club created was Xuan Truong's free kick from a distance of nearly 25 meters in the 42nd minute, sending the ball close to the goal post of CAHN Club.

In the second half, Ha Tinh FC unexpectedly pushed up their formation, playing an open game with CAHN FC. In just the first 10 minutes, the away team had 3 consecutive dangerous shots. However, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip still showed his class with accurate judgment and ball catching situations.
Starting from the 60th minute, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong played with all his might, sending attacking players like Viktor Le and former CAHN striker Geovane onto the field. From then on, the pressure that Ha Tinh Club brought to Nguyen Filip's goal also increased. In the 68th minute, from a quick attack on the left wing, Geovane received the ball in an open position and then shot off the CAHN center back's leg, equalizing 1-1 for Ha Tinh Club.

Conceding a goal, CAHN Club pushed up their attack. Coach Polking's team used many high crosses, causing Ha Tinh Club's goal to be constantly on alert. However, goalkeeper Thanh Tung played very well, blocking headers from Jason Quang Vinh and Alan.
It seemed like the match would end with a score of 1-1, but in the last minute of extra time, joy burst out for CAHN Club. In a high-stakes situation, Jason Quang Vinh crossed the ball accurately for Bui Hoang Viet Anh to tap in, sealing a 2-1 victory for CAHN Club.
