(Dan Tri) - In the opening match of the 2025-2026 V-League season, Hanoi Police Club drew with The Cong Viettel at Hang Day home stadium on the evening of August 15.

The highlight of round 1 of V-League 2025-2026 is the match between Hanoi Police Club and The Cong Viettel , when both are determined to win to create an advantage from the beginning in the goal of being crowned champion this season.

The surprise happened in the 3rd minute when Tien Anh passed the ball into the penalty area for Lucao to jump high and head the ball into the home team Cong An Ha Noi's net.

Despite conceding an early goal, the Hanoi Police players still maintained the necessary composure to organize many sieges on the opponent's goal. In the 20th minute, the Viettel The Cong midfielder lost the ball in the middle of the field, creating conditions for the home team to organize a quick counterattack. Unfortunately, Alan received the ball in the penalty area and shot just wide of the post.

However, just 2 minutes later, Alan managed to correct his mistake. From Dinh Trong's cross from the right wing, Alan quickly finished the ball past goalkeeper Van Phong and brought the match back to the starting line.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, Hanoi Police had more dangerous opportunities. However, their strikers could not take advantage of them. On the other hand, The Cong Viettel also showed signs of being stuck in finding a way into the opponent's goal.

In the second half, both teams were cautious, making the game slower than in the first half. In the 76th minute, Quang Hai passed the ball to Nguyen Van Duc to enter the penalty area before opening up an opportunity for Dinh Bac to finish. Fortunately for The Cong Viettel, Viet Tu used his foot to clear the ball in front of the goal.

That was also the most dangerous situation when in the remaining minutes both teams were deadlocked in organizing attacks and accepted the final 1-1 draw on the opening day of LPBank V-League 2025-26.
