Referee Nghe blew the whistle, HAGL overwhelmed Hanoi at Pleiku stadium
(Baonghean.vn) - The combination of Van Toan and Cong Phuong brought sadness to Hanoi FC at Pleiku Stadium, witnessed by the new head coach of the national team.
In the early stages of the match, the home team HAGL took the initiative but Hanoi also raised their squad to play offensively. However, the away team played very well thanks to mobile midfielders like Quang Hai and Hung Dung.
From a set piece, Hanoi scored the first goal in the 14th minute. After a cross into the penalty area from the left wing, Van Dung headed the ball in a comfortable position to open the score for Hanoi Club.
However, just 6 minutes later, from a free kick on the right wing, Minh Vuong unexpectedly made a tricky shot that made goalkeeper Van Cong equalize 1-1 for HAGL. After that, Hanoi FC had consecutive dangerous shots. Oseni headed the ball to the crossbar of HAGL's goal and bounced out, then Quang Hai finished the rebound but could not beat goalkeeper Vinh Loi.

The two teams played a dramatic 45 minutes with high quality. The first half ended with a score of 1-1.
Five minutes into the second half, Van Son unexpectedly increased the score for HAGL by taking advantage of the indecisiveness of the away team's defense. This was a situation where the Hanoi defenders all stood back, thinking that Van Son had committed a foul, but referee Nguyen Dinh Thai did not blow his whistle.
In the 57th minute, the referee from Nghe An continued to make Hanoi players react when Van Quyet fell in the penalty area after colliding with goalkeeper To Vinh Loi, but this referee did not award the away team a penalty.
By the 60th minute, the balance had been restored. Quang Hai's difficult dribble caused a foul from the HAGL defender. This time, referee Dinh Thai did not hesitate to point to the penalty spot. Of course, striker Van Quyet did not miss the opportunity to equalize 2-2 for Hanoi.

Immediately after that, midfielder Minh Vuong had another delicate move before finishing with a technical shot that left goalkeeper Van Cong standing and watching, but the ball hit the crossbar of Hanoi Club.
The efforts to score points under the new national team head coach Park Hang Seo and coach Chung Hae-seong have paid off. In the 89th minute, Van Toan's clever dribble on the left wing created favorable conditions for Cong Phuong to score against Hanoi, raising the score to 3-2 for HAGL.
The match had 3 minutes of extra time, which was not enough for the away team Hanoi to score another goal and had to accept leaving Pleiku empty-handed. With this result, the away team will likely lose the top spot after round 23 of V.League because FLC Thanh Hoa only has to face Long An tomorrow (October 28).
The dramatic 3-2 victory helped HAGL end a series of 5 matches with only draws and losses, and at the same time gain 27 points to escape the dangerous position. Being present in the stands, surely the new head coach of the national team, Mr. Park Hang Seo, had his own feelings about V.League and the quality players of HAGL as well as Hanoi.
In this match, the referee from Nghe An, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thai, did his job quite well and only gave one yellow card to Van Dung of Hanoi Club./.
