As expected by fans, the match between The Cong Viettel Club and Hanoi Club was exciting from the first minutes when both teams chose an attacking style of play. The Cong Viettel Club, with the home field advantage, started the match better, with fast attacks thanks to the mobility of players like Khuat Van Khang and Pedro Henrique. However, throughout the first half, no goals were scored.
In the second half, Hanoi FC took the initiative to attack and opened the score in the 57th minute. Not willing to "lose their shirt" on their home field, Viettel The Cong Club rose up strongly. After many efforts, in the 75th minute, Viettel The Cong Club found a 1-1 draw thanks to Danh Trung. Before that, goalkeeper Van Hoang made a mistake when he did not handle Tuan Tai's cross well. Taking advantage of the mental advantage, in the 90th minute, Amarildo headed the ball, sealing a 2-1 victory for Viettel The Cong Club.

The comeback against Hanoi FC also marked the first win of the 2024-2025 season for Viettel The Cong FC. Previously in round 1, the paratrooper team created many opportunities but could not take advantage of them, having to draw 0-0 with Ho Chi Minh City FC. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team has 4 points, ranking 4th in the tournament.
In the post-match press conference, coach Nguyen Duc Thang explained the reason why The Cong Viettel Club played better: “The comeback win is very meaningful. Especially when September 23 marks the 70th anniversary of the club's fan club.
My Dinh Stadium has a good grass surface, helping the players handle the game better than in round 1 at Thong Nhat Stadium. The two foreign players of The Cong Viettel Club played better. In addition, the domestic players demonstrated their common playing style. Having 4 points after 2 rounds is exactly the goal we set. When playing at home, The Cong Viettel Club tries to get 3 points and if playing away, they must also get points. That is the current goal of the tournament."
Notably, in the match against Hanoi FC, coach Nguyen Duc Thang surprisingly left Hoang Duc - one of the team's stars and a mainstay in midfield - on the bench. The 48-year-old coach explained: "Hoang Duc sat on the bench for tactical reasons. I wanted to use Van Khang because he has high speed to be ready to attack. In addition, Van Khang is making great progress, so I created the conditions."
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is satisfied with the victory of Viettel The Cong Club.
On the other side, Hanoi FC suffered their first defeat of the season. Coach Le Duc Tuan's team dropped to 6th place with 3 points. Although the only goal of Hanoi FC in this match was scored by Joao Pedro, Coach Le Duc Tuan still surprisingly mentioned the issue of foreign players in the V-League.
He shared: “Foreign players in Vietnam are not of the desired quality. The tournament has started and foreign players still need time to adapt. There are many problems such as playing style, weather, culture, etc. so they need time. Each club has a page to watch the players. But there are many factors that make them not play as well as on the video.
In the past, both foreign and domestic players of Hanoi FC were very good. In addition, many players who had played in V-League had just come to Hanoi FC. There were many things to do. I had only been in charge of the team for 2 months and had very little time to get acquainted with the foreign players."

In round 3, Hanoi FC will return to Hang Day to welcome Ho Chi Minh City FC (September 29). Coach Le Duc Tuan admitted that the loss to The Cong Viettel FC was a big lesson and that Hanoi FC needs to change many things.
“In football, the last minutes are the most important. This is the lesson we need to learn from this match," he concluded.
