Despite what seemed like a difficult away match, CAHN easily defeated defending champions Thép Xanh Nam Định 2-0 at Thiên Trường Stadium in Round 5 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26. With this result, Coach Polking 's team rose to second place in the standings (level on points with league leaders Ninh Bình but with an inferior goal difference).
Commenting on the match, Coach Polking said: "I am very pleased with the performance of the CAHN players. They followed the tactics, played cohesively, and executed the instructions set by the coaching staff. Against a strong opponent like Thép Xanh Nam Định, CAHN won, and that is the most important thing."

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.
