On the evening of August 24, the latest match of round 2 took place at Binh Duong Stadium with the result of 0-3 in favor of the away team Cong An Ha Noi. An easy victory for Mr. Polking's team.

After the match, Coach Polking shared: "Reacting or pressing the referee is never our tactic. Hanoi Police do not play like that. I swear Viegas did not say anything to deserve the first yellow card. He was very mad because he was wronged. That was me, not Viegas.

It's true that during the match, sometimes we complain about this situation or that play, but that's normal. In many situations, if we have the advantage, the referee shouldn't blow the whistle or vice versa. We just want the ball to continue rolling, the match not interrupted. That's good for football, good for V-League. Anyway, the referee did a good job today."

Cong An Ha Noi FC played with one more player for most of the match. Kizito Tran Trung Hieu of Becamex TP.HCM received a second yellow card after fouling Le Pham Thanh Long.

After Alan opened the scoring early, Quang Hai took advantage and doubled the gap. At the end of the match, Leo Artur sealed a 3-0 victory for Cong An Ha Noi.

Mr. Polking was pleased with his players' performance, especially after losing 1-2 to BG Pathum United in the Shopee Cup. He said: "I told the players to make good use of the opportunities they created. When they were in a situation like the match against BG Pathum, today they converted the opportunity into a goal."

Regarding the case of Vo Hoang Minh Khoa, Mr. Polking clearly expressed his desire to have the service of the player currently playing for Becamex TP.HCM. At the beginning of the season, the Hanoi Police Club failed to get Minh Khoa.

Coach Polking regretfully said: "Minh Khoa is a great player and is in the exact position I need. I really want to have Minh Khoa as soon as possible and it's a pity that I missed him last time."

With the first victory of the 2025-2026 season, Hanoi Police Club climbed to second place with 4 points on the V-League rankings, equal in points with The Cong - Viettel .
