HAGL Club hunts for first points at My Dinh Stadium
HAGL first time visiting My Dinh
HAGL Club ended the year of the Dragon with a historic 1-0 victory, ending 13 years of not knowing the taste of victory at Hang Day Stadium of Hanoi Club.
This result helps coach Le Quang Trai and his team have 16 points after 11 matches, a big step to temporarily distance themselves from the bottom group and enter the top 6, helping the mountain town team confidently aim for a favorable result in another match that promises to be worth watching in the capital at the beginning of the year of the Snake.
At 7:15 p.m. on February 8, HAGL Club will play away against the home team The Cong Viettel in round 12, also marking the first time they play in the V-League at My Dinh National Stadium.

This will be a remarkable encounter between two teams in good form, possessing many young talents, led by managers with strong personalities: Coach Nguyen Duc Thang on the home team will face the duo Vu Tien Thanh - Le Quang Trai.
At noon today, February 6, the entire HAGL team arrived in Hanoi to prepare for the match against The Cong Viettel Club, which is 2 points ahead of them on the rankings (18 points), aiming to surpass this opponent to enter the top 3 if they win.
The closeness on the rankings will create a special competitive flavor for the match, where AFF Cup 2024 heroes Bui Tien Dung and Khuat Van Khang from The Cong Viettel Club will face Chau Ngoc Quang and Tran Trung Kien from HAGL.
Explosion with ex Brandao?
Washington Brandao (11) actively supports defense
Unlike many big teams that are facing injury storms, Coach Le Quang Trai has a full, healthy and energetic squad. The victory in round 11 has helped the whole team enter the new year with high spirits, and confidence that the next stage will follow the set goals.
This will also be the match where HAGL will continue to launch striker Washington Brandao, the former player who just returned and played the full 90 minutes in HAGL's victory over Hanoi. The familiar advantage helps Brandao need almost no time to get acquainted and play quite well with rookie Marciel.
The abundance of personnel helps the duo Vu Tien Thanh - Le Quang Trai have a lot of space to calculate, so that Marciel, Minh Vuong, Ngoc Quang, Bao Toan, Thanh Son, Quang Nho... can set up a total defense, waiting for quick transition situations to punish the opponent.
For his part, coach Nguyen Duc Thang "stayed still" during the mid-season transfer period, showing the handsome coach's confidence in the players trained by Viettel's The Cong academy as well as the foreign players he has at his disposal.
Will the duo Vu Tien Thanh - Le Quang Trai help HAGL get their first point at My Dinh?
In fact, the attack of Viettel The Cong Club has not yet reached the explosive level as the former defender of the Vietnam national team expected, partly because the new foreign players need time to integrate and the team is learning to live without Hoang Duc in the middle of the field.
However, Mr. Thang has successfully steered the team into the top 3, with a convincing performance demonstrated by 14 goals scored (only losing to Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa clubs) and 7 goals conceded (only Ha Tinh and Hanoi Police clubs are as good).
This promises to bring a match where the two teams will most likely not be as jubilant as in the past, but instead will focus on controlling the midfield in a tactical confrontation.
The tightness in that approach will promise to make Washington Brandao and HAGL's strikers have to cherish every opportunity to approach the opponent's goal, but in return, HAGL will also have a basis for satisfaction if they successfully share points in their first time as guests at My Dinh.
