CAHN lost their first match in AFC Champions League Two 2025/26

CAHN lost to Macarthur FC in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26.

Playing away against Macarthur FC, CAHN faced early difficulties when conceding a goal in the 20th minute. However, just 10 minutes later, the Vietnamese representative brought the match back to the starting line. From a cross from the left wing, Macarthur's defense failed to clear the ball decisively, creating an opportunity for Adou Minh to make a tricky tap-in, defeating goalkeeper Kurto. This goal helped CAHN regain their spirit and take the initiative in the game.

In the second half, coach Mano Polking and his team played with determination, pushing their formation high and continuously creating storms towards the opponent's goal. CAHN's attacking arrangements became more rhythmic as the midfield controlled the game well. However, the final shots of the red team were all excellently blocked by the Macarthur defense and goalkeeper Kurto.

The pressure was great, causing the match to be played at a high speed with many fierce collisions. CAHN showed their desire to win all 3 points but were unlucky at important moments.

In the 75th minute, from a seemingly harmless cross from the home team, the ball was cleared right into Caceres's reach. His shot hit Mauk's foot and changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Nguyen Filip unable to react, giving Macarthur a 2-1 lead.

In the final minutes, CAHN focused all their efforts on the attack, but haste and pressure made their moves inaccurate. The match ended with a 2-1 victory for the home team. In the next match, CAHN will play Beijing Guoan again on November 27 at Hang Day Stadium.
