The 2023 National Super Cup match between Hanoi Police Club and Thanh Hoa Club at Hang Day Stadium was "hot" from the first minutes, when both teams chose an attacking style of play, wanting to speed up the match to score a goal to take the lead.
While Hanoi Police Club has quality new players like Thanh Long or Viet Anh, Thanh Hoa Club is confident with a playing philosophy that has been clearly defined under coach Velizar Popov. Thanks to the "formulated" playing style, Thanh Hoa team entered the game confidently and had the opportunity to score.
Hanoi Police Club (red shirts) did not start well.
Thanh Hoa FC's clearest chance in the first half was a low free kick by Luis Antonio, but goalkeeper Filip Nguyen caught it. Four minutes later, Hanoi Police FC responded with a volley by Quang Hai, but was unable to beat goalkeeper Thanh Diep.

After a series of back-and-forth situations, Thanh Hoa FC found a way to take the lead. In the 45th minute, Thanh Long passed the ball back and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen caught the ball with his hands illegally. Referee Nguyen Manh Hai pointed to the indirect free kick spot in the penalty area. Rimario cleverly passed to Gustavo who was waiting at the far post, before the Thanh Hoa FC midfielder kicked the ball into the roof of the home team's net to open the score.
Thanh Hoa Club opened the score
In the second half, Thanh Hoa FC took the initiative to play slowly, keeping the midfield tight. The Thanh team waited for quick transitions when regaining control of the ball, thanks to Rimario's good ability to operate independently.
Hanoi Police Club had more possession of the ball, but Quang Hai and his teammates played relatively disjointedly and lacked structure.
In the 78th minute, the gap was widened for Thanh Hoa Club when Ti Phong crossed the ball like a set piece, before Rimario Gordon's shot hit the leg of a Hanoi Police defender, raising the score to 2-0.
Rimario had an excellent match
Thanh Hoa FC's third goal was scored in the 81st minute, also from a lightning counterattack. Luis Antonio dribbled the ball cleverly and then passed it back to Rimario, who tapped the ball into the net from close range, past goalkeeper Filip Nguyen. The Hanoi Police FC's efforts were only rewarded with a consolation goal in the 90th minute, scored by Geovane Magno from the 11m mark.
After a big win over Hanoi Police Club, Thanh Hoa Club won the National Super Cup title after 11 years of waiting, receiving a reward of 300 million VND. This is the perfect start for coach Velizar Popov and his team in the 2023-2024 season.
