Tien Linh scores, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club dramatically wins over Hanoi FC

Coach Le Huynh Duc reunited for the first time with the once-famous brand of Vietnamese football, CA HCMC Club, in the national football championship, at Thong Nhat Stadium, which was very familiar to Mr. Duc and this club in the past.

The ball had only been rolling for two minutes when rookie Nguyen Tien Linh helped the team led by coach Le Huynh Duc take the lead.

Receiving a pass from his teammate on the right wing, Tien Linh jumped higher than the visiting team's defender. He headed the ball hard from right in front of the 5m50 line, defeating goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan of Hanoi FC, scoring to help CA HCMC Club take a 1-0 lead.

This goal created conditions for CA HCMC FC to actively play defensive counter-attacks. The team led by coach Le Huynh Duc had less possession of the ball than their opponents, but they were very sharp when counter-attacking.

From such a counterattack situation, CA TPHCM Club scored the second goal. In the 27th minute, receiving a long pass from the home field, Noel Mbo passed the ball to Vo Huy Toan. This former national player entered the penalty area of Hanoi FC.

Then, from a distance of about 15m, Huy Toan shot a very dangerous cross-angle shot, defeating goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan, scoring to raise the score to 2-0 for CA HCMC Club.

It must also be said that in this match, in addition to the experience and sharpness of attacking stars like Tien Linh and Huy Toan in the front line, Vietnamese-American goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang of CA HCMC Club played extremely well in the back line.

This Slovakian-born goalkeeper continuously flew like a bird, blocking many dangerous shots from Hanoi FC players.

Only once in tonight's match (August 16) at Thong Nhat Stadium, goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang was helpless, when Van Tung kicked the ball from close range, narrowing the gap to 1-2 for Hanoi FC.

However, that goal was not enough to prevent CA TPHCM FC from winning their first victory in LPBank V-League 2025-26. The reunion with the national championship and the old shirt was too sweet for famous coach Le Huynh Duc.
