(Baonghean.vn)- Quang Hai missed a penalty kick, causing Cong An Ha Noi (CAHN) to lose 2-3 to Nam Dinh in the 1/8 round of the National Cup; Coach Erik ten Hag promoted 3 players from the MU youth academy to the first team to prepare for the pre-season, these are the outstanding sports news.

Quang Hai missed the penalty kick, causing his team to be eliminated.

Goalkeeper Tran Duc Dung was the hero of Nam Dinh, when he saved three penalty kicks from Cong An Ha Noi players. He had never played in the V-League, and only entered the field in the 64th minute to replace the injured Tran Nguyen Manh. Duc Dung conceded a goal after less than a minute on the field, when CAHN equalized 1-1 to send the match into a penalty shootout. But before the 11m mark, Duc Dung outshone expensive goalkeeper Filip Nguyen, to send Nam Dinh to the quarter-finals.

Hanoi Police have lost 2 consecutive matches, despite having just added valuable new players like Quang Hai and Filip. The home team can only blame themselves for missing 4 out of 6 penalty kicks. Only defenders Huynh Tan Sinh and Doan Van Hau shot, while attackers like Jhon Cley, Quang Hai, Van Thanh and Gustavo Henrique all missed. Among them, Cley, Van Thanh and Gustavo's kicks were pushed out by Duc Dung.

Nam Dinh only scored 50% of the penalty kicks, but that was enough for them to create a surprise at Hang Day Stadium. After Thanh Hao's shot, Nam Dinh's reserve players and coaching staff rushed onto the field to hug each other in celebration. Thousands of away fans also jumped for joy with this victory, because CAHN not only leads the V-League, but also possesses a squad of national team players.

Nam Dinh had to play with 10 men from the 58th minute, when midfielder Ngo Duc Huy received a second yellow card, which meant he was sent off. The away team still scored first thanks to Hendrio, but then equalized and had to go to penalties. The match heated up and in the 58th minute, midfielder Ngo Duc Huy fouled Cley and was shown a second yellow card by the referee. Duc Huy was sent off, leaving the away team with only 10 men.

Nam Dinh will meet Viettel in the quarter-finals, also at Hang Day Stadium on July 11. If they win, they will meet Binh Dinh or Ha Tinh in the semi-finals.

Ten Hag promotes 3 young talents from the academy to the MU first team

MU has returned to Carrington to train in preparation for the 2023 Summer tour, but Ten Hag has only had one new recruit so far, midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea.

The Dutch tactician is keen to strengthen his attack and sign a new goalkeeper, but so far, nothing has come of it. This has forced Ten Hag to promote three names from the youth academy to the first team of MU, including Charlie Savage, Maxi Oyedele and Isak Hansen-Aaroen, the Mirror reported.

Savage, 20, son of former United player Robbie, has returned to the Red Devils after a loan spell at Forest Green Rovers. The 21-year-old Welsh midfielder made 15 appearances for Forest Green Rovers, who were relegated from League One last season.

Another midfielder, Oyedele, 18, has returned to United after a spell at Altrincham in the National League (English amateur league), where he scored four goals in 12 games. Norwegian midfielder Hansen-Aaroen, 18, is the last name Ten Hag has brought into the United first team. He made his debut for Tromso at the age of 15.

Chinese newspapers are worried because they cannot have friendly relations like Vietnam.

In the Chinese newspaper Dexing News, journalist Ma Dexing said that China is having difficulty finding suitable friendly opponents before the 2023 Women's World Cup. China will begin gathering in Shanghai on May 18, 2023, the earliest of the 32 participating teams. On June 10, they will move to Qingdao, Shandong province for training.

During the first 6 weeks, China did not play any international friendly matches, only training matches with local U15 or U16 men's teams. Coach Thuy Khanh Ha (Shui Qingxia) wanted to find a women's team to play friendly matches but was unsuccessful.

Since the results of the World Cup group stage in October 2022, the Chinese women's team leaders have contacted many teams to invite them to friendly matches. However, due to the impact of the pandemic and China's "zero-Covid" strategy, many teams have not responded to the invitations. Thuy Khanh Ha and her team also do not have the conditions to go to Europe for training.

Ma said that last year, China invited France to play a friendly match, but the team chose Vietnam. The match took place in June 2022, with a 7-0 victory for the host in the city of Orleans. "Vietnam also went to Europe for training, playing friendly matches with Poland and Germany. Before the World Cup opened, they continued to play friendly matches with New Zealand and Spain. China will be ashamed because no team has tested them," Ma wrote.

Dexing News also revealed that the Philippines wanted to play a friendly match with China, but the stronger team refused. They said that partly because the Philippines was too weak compared to China, and partly because their opponents in the World Cup were from Europe and Central America. Therefore, a friendly match with a Southeast Asian team was meaningless for China.

In desperation, China contacted Serbia, as the relationship between the two federations was quite good. However, Serbia refused because they did not qualify for the World Cup, so the players went on vacation after the season ended. Gathering them together for a friendly match was now impossible.

China finally asked Russia for help and they accepted. The two teams played two behind-closed-doors friendlies in Qingdao, with China winning 1-0 and 2-1. China opened the World Cup against Denmark on July 22, then played Haiti six days later, and finally had the toughest match against England on August 1.
