Hanoi Police Football Club "dropped" victory at home

Despite leading and having a dominant position, Hanoi Police Football Club (CAHN) was held to a draw by Macarthur FC in the match within the framework of Group E of the AFC Champion League Two 2025/26 on the evening of October 23.

Notably, CAHN's loss occurred in a situation where the Australian representative had only one shot on target at Hang Day Stadium and just a few minutes after coach Polking decided to take Nguyen Filip off the field and replace him with goalkeeper number 2 Vu Thanh Vinh. CAHN's subsequent efforts to regain the lead, including sending Phan Van Duc onto the field, were all unsuccessful.

CAHN Club will not have the services of many important players in the match on the evening of October 23.

This is really a pity for Coach Polking's team if you look at the performance throughout the match. Before conceding the goal, there was a time when CAHN had 60% of the ball possession, they had 3 shots on target (three times more than the away team).

Among the guests in the stands of Hang Day Stadium was Coach Kim Sang-Sik. The Korean coach must have been a bit worried when goalkeeper Nguyen Filip suddenly left the field.

Despite not having the strongest force, with the home field advantage and determination to win, CAHN put pressure on the opponent right after the opening whistle. Those efforts were rewarded in the 30th minute when Vitao made a delicate pass to Le Van Do to penetrate the penalty area, decisively finishing in the far corner, defeating goalkeeper Kurto of Macarthur FC. At the end of the first half, CAHN almost had a second goal if Alan's shot had not hit the post.

The draw in the third match of Group E meant that although CAHN kept the top spot, they missed the opportunity to increase the gap with the second-placed team, Tai Po FC.

The visitors' goal was constantly under threat in this match.

With home ground advantage and determination to win, CAHN focused on attacking from the start.
