On the evening of December 6, Hanoi FC ended their journey at the AFC Champions League 2023/24 with a shocking 2-1 victory over defending champions Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan). The home team's goals were scored by Van Nam and Tuan Hai.

The 1-2 defeat to the Vietnamese representative made Urawa Red Diamonds, the former champion of this tournament, only ranked second in Group J, at the bottom of the second-placed teams in the East Asia region, so they could not pass the group stage.

With the goal against the team from Japan, Tuan Hai has 4 goals for himself in the AFC Champions League 2023/24.

This achievement puts him above Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 3 goals for the Saudi Arabian club so far.

Leading the scoring list in the Asian Cup 1 arena are Talisca (Al Nassr) and Cryzan (Shandong Taishan) with 6 goals each. The players who scored 5 goals are Aleksandar Mitrović (Al Hilal), Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba (Al Ain), Baghdad Bounedjah (Al Sadd) and Khojimat Erkinov (Pakhtakor).

With the earthquake created at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi FC received a bonus of more than one billion VND from the owner Do Quang Hien. Accordingly, the whole team was awarded one billion VND, the defense was awarded 200 million VND and goalkeeper Van Hoang was awarded 100 million VND.

In the first match for Hanoi FC in the 2023/24 season, Nguyen Van Hoang played convincingly and contributed greatly to helping the home team win 3 points against a very strong opponent from Japan.

Van Hoang shared: "I have waited a long time to play for Hanoi FC. I really cannot express my feelings at this moment. This is so wonderful.

Although Hanoi FC won, I and the other players still have to look back to see what we have not done.

But overall I'm happy with the result and I'm glad I got a win on my debut. Winning against Urawa Red Diamonds was a great result.

Hanoi FC has nothing to lose, so this is also the time when the spirit is at its highest. The whole team tries every match to soon return to the V-League championship race, because Hanoi FC always sets the highest goal in the domestic tournament."

The goalkeeper from Nghe An concluded: "Actually, I am impatient because every player wants to play on the field. But I, like other players, have to wait for my chance because the goalkeepers of Hanoi FC are all very good."
