With this result, Coach Polking 's team rose to 2nd place in the rankings (equal in points with the top team Ninh Binh but with a lower goal difference).

Evaluating the match, Coach Polking said: "I am very satisfied with the performance of the CAHN players.

In this match, midfielder Quang Hai did not score, but he contributed greatly with his passes and intelligent play, notably the assist for CAHN's opening goal.

Regarding Quang Hai's return, captain CAHN said: "In the past few days, Quang Hai had to do many training programs to recover. I am very pleased with him. Quang Hai's efforts are great. I am very happy that Hai is back to compete."

"Today's three points help CAHN advance in the rankings and create an advantage in the championship race. However, Nam Dinh Blue Steel can return soon as they have many quality players," Coach Polking concluded.

Meanwhile, coach Vu Hong Viet admitted that CAHN played better and deserved to win. "After each match, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh only has 2 days to recover, and plays with a different lineup. This is a difficulty for the team. We have to learn from many problems to better prepare for the next matches," said coach Vu Hong Viet.
