Breaking the 'reinforced concrete' of Da Nang team, CAHN Club takes the top spot in V-League

CAHN Club 'concrete drilling and cutting'

The match between CAHN and Da Nang clubs at Hang Day Stadium is considered the most uneven match of round 6. While the home team CAHN has all the best players with the return of Alan Grafite, the away team Da Nang is sinking in the bottom group of the table, having to carefully score points in each match to improve their ranking.

Da Nang Club (white shirt) defends tightly

With superior force, CAHN Club played an attacking game with suffocating pressure. The strikers with Alan Grafite and Leo Artur, supported by Van Duc, Quang Hai and Van Thanh quickly controlled the match. The intention of coach Alexandre Polking's students was to use speed and technique to create high-intensity attacks on both sides, aiming to break the defense of Da Nang Club.

However, with a large defense and a dogged style of play, Da Nang FC blocked all paths leading to Tuan Hung's goal. Even when goalkeeper Tuan Hung left the field due to injury, giving way to "supporting actor" Van Cuong, Da Nang's goal remained solid.

CAHN Club's best chance in the first half came in the 24th minute. Quang Hai drifted to the right wing and then crossed the ball for Van Duc to skillfully shake his head, sending the ball wide of the post. Because the middle lane was blocked, CAHN Club had to cross the ball a lot to find opportunities. However, Da Nang's defense carefully studied the opponent's playing style to neutralize it. In particular, the duo Grafite and Artur were locked down. The explosive Artur and Quang Hai had to retreat to the middle of the field to find the ball, because Da Nang Club pressed extremely hard.

At the end of the first half, Da Nang Club suddenly accelerated and had a chance, with Yuri Mamute's unfortunate header missing the post.

The familiar hero

In the second half, the visitors found their way to Nguyen Filip's goal again. In the 48th minute, Yuri passed the ball to Dinh Duy, before the Da Nang striker got past center-back Hugo Gomes and fired a powerful shot. However, Nguyen Filip showed his talent in saving the goal, preventing an "earthquake" from happening at Hang Day.

Every time they are stuck, CAHN FC looks to Leo Artur. In previous matches, the foreign player who used to play for Binh Dinh has shone with goals against Hanoi FC, Binh Duong, Nam Dinh and Lion City Sailors. And this match was no exception. In the 64th minute, Artur held the ball on the left edge of the penalty area. The Brazilian foreign player skillfully turned the ball and then shot extremely dangerously into the near corner, opening the score for CAHN FC.

Artur shines again

From this point on, the match went in favor of the home team. Da Nang FC had to attack, but the visitors' long "lucky" passes to Yuri Mamute and Dinh Duy could not trouble the CAHN FC defense.

In the 72nd minute, Alan Grafite extinguished Da Nang FC's hopes of scoring a point. The home team's foreign player CAHN headed the ball into the corner after Artur's accurate cross from the right wing, raising the score to 2-0 for the team led by Mr. Polking.

A resounding 3-0 victory was sealed for CAHN Club with tremendous pressure in the final minutes. In the 82nd minute, Grafite "returned" Artur with a cross-field pass, allowing CAHN Club's number 10 to finish decisively with one touch, completing his double in this match.

Artur could have scored a hat-trick, when his penalty kick was blocked by Van Cuong in the 89th minute. Then Van Do swooped in to score the goal against Da Nang, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

Taking all 3 points, CAHN Club rose to the top of V-League with 11 points after 6 matches. Although equal in points with Thanh Hoa, Mr. Polking's students ranked higher due to a better goal difference (+6 compared to +5).
