Referee refused to award penalty, Hanoi Police Club lost painfully to HAGL

At home, Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC welcomed Hanoi Police in the first match of round 7 of V.League. Leading the rankings, Hanoi Police FC faced many difficulties when HAGL was full of confidence. The 1-4 loss to Binh Duong did not make this team worried. After the opening whistle, HAGL continued to be loyal to the defensive counter-attacking style of play.

Video: Ngoc Quang shines to help HAGL win

Alan Grafite and Leo Artur were closely followed by HAGL players in every situation. The Brazilian duo did not have enough time to handle the ball. The first chance also belonged to HAGL. From a great pass from Minh Vuong, Ngoc Quang received the ball but his subsequent shot was not accurate.

Hanoi Police Club had a few responses from Quang Hai and Van Duc but the opportunity also unfortunately passed away. In the 25th minute, HAGL caused a surprise when they scored the opening goal. After a good combination with Minh Vuong and Van Son, Chau Ngoc Quang escaped before unleashing a tricky shot to break the deadlock.

Unexpectedly losing, Hanoi Police Club rose up and continuously attacked. To be fair, the 2023 V.League champion created a good game, putting a lot of pressure on Tran Trung Kien's goal. However, accuracy is what the away team's strikers lacked. The most dangerous chance for Hanoi Police Club belonged to Phan Van Duc. The striker born in 1996 shot straight at Jairo's foot even though Trung Kien was far from the goal. The first half passed without any goals being scored.

In the second half, Hanoi Police Club continued to push up their attacking formation. The second half of the match was a little different. HAGL could not organize a counter-attack and mainly retreated to defend.

By the end of the match, Hanoi Police Club had fired more than 20 shots but what they lacked was a goal. Alan, Van Duc and Quang Hai all wasted their chances. In the 89th minute, the ball touched the hand of a HAGL player in the penalty area but referee Mai Xuan Hung refused to award a penalty to Hanoi Police Club. Mr. Hung determined that Alan was offside and had participated in the action.

In 12 minutes of extra time, Hanoi Police Club tried hard but still had to accept a 0-1 loss to HAGL.
