Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip played too badly; Haaland created a historic milestone in the Champions League

Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip played very badly.

It's hard to believe that goalkeeper Nguyen Filip entered the continental competition with two goals conceded due to mistakes.

The opening match of AFC Champions League Two 2025/26 of CAHN Club became a sad memory for goalkeeper Nguyen Filip, when he was directly at fault for both goals conceded. It can be said that Nguyen Filip had a very bad match.

In the 49th minute, CAHN Club was still maintaining a balanced match with the home team Beijing Guoan, and leading by 1 goal. However, a not-too-dangerous long-range shot from outside the penalty area by midfielder Zhongguo unexpectedly turned into a goal. Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip dived slowly and inaccurately, letting the ball go past in the astonishment of his teammates and the audience. A goal that could be said to be very disastrous.

Not stopping there, in the 65th minute, Nguyen Filip passed the ball to the wrong address right in front of the penalty area. Zhang Yuan of Beijing Guoan immediately took advantage of the opportunity, quickly finishing to increase the score to 2-1.

The consecutive mistakes of the goalkeeper with Vietnamese-Czech blood put CAHN in a difficult position in the most unbelievable way, because he did not act as a support but played the role of "sinner" of CAHN Club.

This is the first time CAHN has participated in the continental arena, but the debut of goalkeeper Nguyen Filip was clearly disappointing.
