European Cup C2 Results 4/14: Juventus narrowly wins over Sporting Lisbon, waiting for MU in the semi-finals

With home advantage, Juventus tried to pressure Sporting Lisbon right after the opening whistle. In the 5th minute, Milik fired his first shot but missed the target. A few minutes later, Chiesa shot dangerously diagonally, forcing goalkeeper Adan to make a difficult save.

The final highlight of the first half was the fact that both teams made an unexpected substitution. Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny had to leave the field early due to health problems, while the visitors' St. Juste could not continue due to injury.

In the second half, in the 62nd minute, coach Allegri decided to bring Vlahovic onto the field to replace Milik to create freshness in the home team's attack and this change quickly proved effective. In the 73rd minute, the Serbian striker won the aerial battle, sending the ball right in front of Sporting Lisbon's goal. Gatti seized the opportunity to score the opening goal of the match.

Conceding an unexpected goal, Sporting Lisbon rose up to attack in search of an equalizer. The away team created many dangerous opportunities in the final minutes of the match but either sent the ball wide or could not beat the excellent performance of goalkeeper Perin.

The final score of the match was Juventus 1-0 Sporting Lisbon. The victory with the minimum margin gives the Old Lady of Turin a slim advantage ahead of the second leg on April 21. The winner of this match will meet the winner of the match between MU and Sevilla (draw 2-2 in the first leg).

Flares burn again on Hang Day stand

Flares were lit again in the stands of Hang Day Stadium before the match between Hanoi FC and Hai Phong Club in round 6 of V.league 2023 on the evening of April 13.

According to the reporter, flares were lit in the B stand, an area where many Hai Phong Club fans gathered. It is known that before this match, the leaders of Hai Phong Club sent an official letter to the Hanoi team about sponsoring tickets for the away team's fans. Specifically, in addition to VIP tickets for sponsors, Hai Phong requested that Hanoi sponsor 1,000 tickets to watch the match for Hai Phong fans, and also requested to bring 6 trumpets and 10 drums to cheer.

Flares were lit in the stands of Hang Day Stadium before the match between Hanoi FC and Hai Phong FC in round 6 of V.league 2023.

Hanoi FC accepted the offer from Hai Phong Club and was willing to give away tickets to the away team. In addition, Hanoi FC also received a document from Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) requesting to increase security for this match. Accordingly, the match organizers must install an electronic gate system, increase forces, and deploy multiple layers of security control outside the stadium.

This is not the first time flares have appeared at Hang Day Stadium during V.League matches. In July 2020, also during the match between Hai Phong Club and Hanoi Club, many overzealous fans lit flares right in the stands and even shot them straight down onto the pitch.

A year earlier, on September 11, during the match between Hanoi Club and Nam Dinh, a female fan of Hanoi Club in the A stand of Hang Day Stadium was suddenly injured by a flare fired from the Nam Dinh fans' stand. An ambulance was mobilized to take this female fan to the emergency room. The incident occurred in the second half when the home team Hanoi was leading Nam Dinh with a score of 4-1.

Surprising news about Indonesian football inviting Coach Park Hang-seo

Many sources even confirmed that the Indonesian Football Federation offered a salary of 1.5 million USD per year - twice as high as the salary the Korean coach received when he renewed his contract with the VFF in 2022.

Indonesian football denies negotiating with coach Park Hang-seo.

However, recently, Bolatimes newspaper confirmed that the information that PSSI is negotiating to invite coach Park Hang Seo is completely false.
