Hanoi Police Club missed victory due to mistake

(NLDO) - Although having the advantage of leading against Macarthur FC (Australia), CAHN Club lost the victory when the opponent equalized 1-1 near the end of the match on the evening of October 23.

CAHN Club with a squad of high-class foreign players dominated the opponent for most of the match in the third round of Group E of AFC Champions League Two 2025-2026 taking place at Hang Day Stadium.

Le Van Do opened the score of the match

The effort of Vietnamese-American midfielder Adou Minh to pass the ball helped Le Van Do face the Macarthur FC goal and score the opening goal of the match in the 30th minute. The 24-year-old midfielder's goal made the home team excited, confident in controlling the ball and proactively attacking.

However, in the second half, the Police team proactively slowed down the tempo, retreated to their home field to defend, and waited for a quick counter-attack opportunity. This tactic quickly took effect, but Coach Polking's team missed many opportunities to score a second goal.

The 24-year-old midfielder also won the title of Best Player of the match.

Near the end of the match, coach Polking unexpectedly replaced goalkeeper Nguyen Filip even though the Vietnamese-American "spider-man" was performing excellently. Just 4 minutes into the match, goalkeeper Vu Thanh Vinh had to go into the net to pick the ball out.

From a "aerial" situation in the 76th minute, center-back Tomislav Uskok jumped high and headed the ball with a dangerous trajectory, forcing the 20-year-old CAHN goalkeeper to concede a goal, helping Macarthur FC seal the final draw.
