In the match against Viettel Club on the afternoon of August 27, Hanoi FC won but still had to watch the Hanoi Police Club win the championship at Hang Day Stadium. The two teams were equal on points (38 points) but the Police team had a better goal difference.

Thus, Hanoi FC ended the 2023 season without winning any titles. Before that, they also missed the opportunity to defend the National Cup title when they stopped in the quarterfinals.

On the final day of the 2023 season, striker Van Quyet shared very emotionally: "I don't remember the statistics clearly, but since returning to Hanoi FC, my team has not left the top 3, just first and second.

But as I shared, no one stays at the top of glory forever, let's accept it gently and move forward. When I get older, there will be younger generations to follow me, and generations of players will follow each other. We are ready for Hanoi football."

Van Quyet said: "Whether they deserved it or not, Hanoi Police Club has won the Cup. I think everyone will watch and judge for themselves. Hanoi FC accepted the defeat gracefully. After the season, the team must prepare better for the new season. Anyway, congratulations to Hanoi Police Club for winning the 'throne'".

After the Night Wolf V-League 2023 ends, Hanoi FC will not rest but continue to practice to prepare for the AFC Champions League 2023/2024. Van Quyet said: "This is the pride of the team. We are responsible for Hanoi football in particular and Vietnamese football in general.

The AFC Champions League not only requires expertise but is also a place to demonstrate culture, where the strongest clubs compete with each other. We will prepare the best, and for now, we will focus all our efforts."

After 12 matches for Hanoi FC, striker Nguyen Van Quyet has scored a total of 9 goals, becoming the domestic player with the most goals in V-League 2023. Notably, the captain of the capital team was suspended for 8 matches.

Van Quyet's 12th goal against Viettel FC in the final match of the season is in the top 5 fastest goal scorers in V-League.

Behind Van Quyet, his teammate at Hanoi FC, Pham Tuan Hai, has 6 goals. This is also the number of goals scored by Viettel FC midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien.

Meanwhile, striker Nguyen Tien Linh only has 3 goals after an unsuccessful season with Binh Duong Club.
