In this match, although midfielder Quang Hai didn't score, he made a significant contribution with his passes and intelligent play, most notably his assist for CAHN's opening goal.

Regarding Quang Hai's return, the CAHN coach said: "In the past few days, Quang Hai has had to go through many training sessions to recover. I am very pleased with him. Quang Hai's efforts have been excellent. I am very happy that Hai is back to playing."

"Today's three points help CAHN climb the standings and gain an advantage in the championship race. However, Nam Dinh Steel Green could return soon as they possess many quality players," Coach Polking concluded.

Meanwhile, coach Vu Hong Viet admitted that CAHN played better and deserved the win. "After each match, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh only has two days to recover, and they play with a different lineup. This is a challenge for the team. We have to learn from many issues to prepare better for the next matches," said coach Vu Hong Viet.
