This is the first professional goal of Quang Kiet's career. The 1.95 m tall center back shared: "This is my first goal in V-League. It will stay with me forever.

What did HAGL coach say?

Meanwhile, HAGL head coach Le Quang Trai was happy: "I think HAGL was very lucky today. We did not approach the match well. Thanh Hoa Club performed very commendably, playing away but imposing on us. They approached the match well, one of the situations created opportunities to score goals.

Previously, the academy's most important criteria in evaluating players were thinking and technique. However, later on, the academy had different teachers with different thinking. Maybe the old evaluation point of view was not wrong, but it also depends on the time. We are very lucky to have Quang Kiet and Trung Kien, two players with very good physiques."
