In the 60th minute of the match between Hai Phong and Binh Dinh (round 8 of V-League 2023-24), goalkeeper Dang Van Lam suddenly suffered a pain in his right leg. The away team's coaching staff decided to take him off. The replacement was reserve goalkeeper Minh Hoang. The captain's armband of Binh Dinh was handed over to Van Thuan.

Van Lam's condition is currently unknown, but this is clearly bad news for coach Philippe Troussier ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup campaign. According to plan, the Vietnamese team will gather in Hanoi on December 31.
Returning to the match, both Hai Phong and Binh Dinh aim to win before the 2023/24 V-League is suspended for more than a month so that the Vietnamese team can focus on competing in the 2023 Asian Cup.
At home, Hai Phong took the initiative to attack after the opening whistle. Meanwhile, Binh Dinh players took the initiative to play slowly to reduce the excitement of the home team players.
After being pressured in the beginning, Binh Dinh regained control of the game. In the 19th minute, Binh Dinh had a good attack with Leonardo breaking into the penalty area and finishing, but Dinh Trieu made an excellent save. Dinh Trieu proved that he was completely worthy of being called up to the Vietnam national team.

In the middle of the first half, the match took place with a tense atmosphere and there were not many notable opportunities created by the players on both sides towards each other's goal.
In the 41st minute, Huu Son crossed the ball from the right wing for Lucao to tap in but Van Lam quickly blocked. A very good reflex situation by the Vietnamese goalkeeper.
In the 44th minute, receiving a delicate pass from Marlon Ranger, Leonardo rushed down and finished past goalkeeper Dinh Trieu to open the score for Binh Dinh.
In the beginning of the second half, from a cross into the penalty area by his teammate, Xuan Truong tried to head the ball in a difficult position but missed the target. Then Binh Dinh responded. Leonardo passed the ball to Van Thuan to face Dinh Trieu but he could not beat Hai Phong's goalkeeper.

In the final minutes of the match, the pressure that Hai Phong created increased towards Binh Dinh's goal. After coming on to replace Dang Van Lam, Minh Hoang played well.
In the 89th minute, Mpande tried to head the ball back in Binh Dinh's penalty area, but the ball didn't go far enough for goalkeeper Minh Hoang, who replaced Van Lam, to easily catch it.
The match had 7 minutes of extra time but Hai Phong could not find an equalizer, having to accept a 0-1 loss to Binh Dinh in round 8 of Night Wolf V-League 2023-24.
