Of CAHN's four goals, Van Thanh scored one and assisted two. In the remaining goal, he indirectly earned a penalty for teammate Jhon Cley to score.

Thanks to Van Thanh's impressive performance, CAHN became the first team to beat Thanh Hoa in V-League 2023. Thanks to that, they regained second place in the table with 21 points and were still one point behind Thanh Hoa.

Before the match, impressed by the undefeated record of 10 rounds and the top position of Velizar Popov and his team, a large number of Thanh Hoa fans packed the stadium. And they were even more excited when they saw their team open the score in the 20th minute. From a cross from Hoang Thai Binh on the left wing, Lam Ti Phong ran into the space between defenders Bui Tien Dung and Doan Van Hau, heading the ball home.

The early goal helped Thanh Hoa gain more confidence and maintain their aggressive play. But because of that, they had to pay the price. In the 38th minute, a foul on Xuan Nam forced the home team to face a free kick on the left sideline. From there, Van Thanh crossed the ball for Gustavo Henrique to head the ball close to the post to equalize 1-1.

In the second half, the Thanh team had another chance to take the lead, when Lam Ti Phong was fouled by Elton Monteiro in the penalty area, leading to a penalty in the 48th minute. But on the 11m mark, inspiration Bruno Cunha hit the crossbar.

This was probably the turning point of the match. Because four minutes after escaping defeat, CAHN took the lead. From a corner kick on the right wing by Van Thanh, center back Minh Tung fumbled the ball and let it touch his hand in the penalty area, causing Thanh Hoa to concede a penalty. Despite having to take it again, Jhon Cley still shot into the left corner, raising the score to 2-1 for the away team.

In the 66th minute, substitute midfielder Hoang Van Toan headed the ball to make it 3-1. The creator was still Van Thanh with a corner kick from the left wing. Three minutes later, the former HAGL player ended his impressive day when he tapped in from close range from a low cross from Van Hau, sealing the 4-1 victory.
