Van Quyet breaks Cong Vinh's record, Hanoi FC still regretfully drops the victory

Considered one of the key matches in round 7 of V-League 2024 - 2025, Hanoi FC and Hai Phong FC are both in poor form. Although in the top half of the rankings, in the last 3 rounds, Hanoi FC only ended the match with a 1-1 draw. Hanoi FC's foreign players could not perform their roles, forcing coach Le Duc Tuan to rely on domestic players. In the match against Hai Phong FC, only overseas Vietnamese player Kyle Colonna was trusted by coach Le Duc Tuan and started.

On the other side, Hai Phong FC is in an even more difficult situation as they have not had a single win since the beginning of the season. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team is in the relegation zone and another defeat against Hanoi FC will make his position extremely shaky.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is going through a difficult period with Hai Phong Club.

Although rated lower, in terms of game position, Hai Phong Club was the team that played better in the first half. The 1-0 lead was also a worthy result for what coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and his team showed.

In the first 15 minutes of the match, Hai Phong FC unexpectedly entered the match with excitement, confidently pushing up the formation to attack. In the 9th minute, from a direct free kick on the left wing, Lucao jumped high and headed the ball, making it impossible for goalkeeper Van Hoang to catch the ball. Immediately, the Hai Phong striker continued to rush in and finish close to the goal, opening the score of the match. More importantly, the goal that Lucao scored had a great contribution from the Hanoi FC defense. Despite having the advantage in terms of numbers in the penalty area, the defense of coach Le Duc Tuan's team showed immaturity and did not respond well enough to each other.

After the early goal, Hai Phong FC deployed a defensive counter-attacking style of play. The away team's midfield played hard and kept a close watch, making it difficult for Hanoi FC to develop the ball. In the back line, players like Huu Son, Tien Dung, Van Toi and goalkeeper Dinh Trieu played well, playing with all their might to help Hai Phong FC stand firm. In addition, Lucao and Ze Paulo also dropped deep, providing good support for the defense.

Meanwhile, striker Van Quyet sitting on the bench made the Hanoi FC attack look quite disappointing. The connection between the midfield and the forwards was not good, making it almost impossible to deploy attacks in the middle. Right-back Xuan Manh often advanced, penetrating the penalty area but could not make a difference.

Hai Long's left-footed shot in the 20th minute and Xuan Manh's close-range header in the 42nd minute were the most notable situations that Hanoi FC created in the first half. Unfortunately, everything proved too simple for Hai Phong goalkeeper Dinh Trieu.

Tuan Hai (number 9) and Van Tung did not leave much of an impression in the first half.

In the second half, Coach Le Duc Tuan made many changes to the lineup, including sending forward duo Joao Pedro and Van Quyet onto the field. Just 5 minutes into his appearance, Van Quyet made a breakthrough in the middle and then passed the ball smoothly for Joao Pedro to accurately place the ball, helping Hanoi FC equalize the score 1-1.

Joao Pedro's goal boosted the confidence of Hanoi FC players. The home team completely controlled the game, constantly creating trouble in front of Dinh Trieu's goal. Compared to the first half, Hanoi FC's positions on the field were better connected, creating quite coherent attacks.

After many missed opportunities, in the 82nd minute, Van Quyet moved and shot the ball with class from a narrow angle, putting Hanoi FC ahead 2-1. Notably, the goal at Hang Day Stadium also helped Van Quyet officially surpass former star Cong Vinh, entering the history of Vietnamese football as the best domestic player to score goals in V-League history (117 goals).

However, the difference that Van Quyet brought could not help Hanoi FC get 3 points. In the 85th minute, Lucao scored for the second time, sealing a 2-2 draw for Hai Phong FC.

Van Quyet (number 10) and Joao Pedro (number 80) made a difference when entering the field.

Sharing points regrettably with Hai Phong, Hanoi FC experienced their 4th consecutive draw in V-League 2024 - 2025. Coach Le Duc Tuan's team has 10 points, ranked 7th. Meanwhile, Hai Phong FC has yet to have any victories in this year's tournament, ranked 12th with 4 points.
