Chinese newspaper commented when the home team lost painfully, Hanoi Police Club advanced

In the decisive match in Group E of the C2 Asian Cup at Hang Day Stadium last night (November 27), Beijing Guoan took an early lead over the home team Hanoi Police with a goal in the 11th minute by Lin Liangming. However, Mauk then equalized 1-1 for Hanoi Police Club in the 76th minute. In the 90th minute, Dinh Bac made Hang Day Stadium "explode" when he scored the winning goal, 2-1.

With this result, Hanoi Police Club has won the ticket to the next round one round early with 8 points after 5 matches, 3 points more than Beijing Quoc An Club and better head-to-head difference.

The fact that Beijing Guoan Club was eliminated from the group stage of the Asian Cup C2 made the Chinese press feel regretful. Newspaper 163 commented: “At the beginning of the match, the goalkeeper of Cong An Ha Noi Club made a serious mistake, creating an opportunity for Lin Liangming to take advantage of the gift and score the opening goal.

Beijing Guoan then had to accept a controversial penalty, but goalkeeper Zhang Jianzhi made an excellent save. In the second half, Zhang Jianzhi continued to shine with many saves. Serginho and Fang Hao missed one-on-one chances with the goalkeeper. Zhang Yuning also hit the post when he had a clear chance.

In the 76th minute, Mauk scored the equalizer for the home team. In the 90th minute, Hanoi Police Club scored the winning goal 2-1 thanks to Dinh Bac. The match even ended in disappointment for Beijing Guoan when Cao Yongjing was sent off.

Beijing Guoan was eliminated right after losing to Hanoi Police Club. This is a regrettable result for the Chinese team.

Meanwhile, Sina newspaper has a rather long article analyzing the failure of Beijing Guoan Club. The author wrote: “What must come, eventually comes. Like a boring old script, you know the ending, but still have to witness it being replayed bit by bit.

Beijing Guoan's painful defeat to Hanoi Police Club at Hang Day Stadium on the evening of November 27 crystallized all the chronic diseases of Chinese football.

It all started when Lin Liangming nimbly took advantage of the opponent goalkeeper’s mistake to score. Taking the lead too early was like poison, causing the whole team to immediately fall into a state of “only thinking about how to keep the score”.

The comeback of Hanoi Police Club, with a goal in the 90th minute, created a terrible tragedy for Beijing Guoan. When the opponent only needed two shots on target to score two goals, the Chinese club showed too weak in finishing.

The final whistle blew. Beijing Guoan FC only had 5 points, ranked third in Group E and was eliminated early. The cold numbers created a tragedy for Chinese football. On the same day, Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua both suffered defeats in the Asian Cup 1. Three Chinese clubs ranked bottom of the rankings and were all at risk of being eliminated.
