Khuat Van Khang suffered a laceration in the mouth area.

On the evening of August 22nd, Khuất Văn Khang was hospitalized due to a laceration to his mouth during the match where Thể Công Viettel won 3-0 against Công an TP.HCM in Round 2 of the V.League 2025/26.

Van Khang suffered an injury and had to leave the field early.

At Hang Day Stadium, Khuat Van Khang collided with Tay Van Toan in an attempt to contest the ball in the 36th minute. The collision wasn't too strong, but it hit a sensitive area, causing the midfielder born in 2003 to fall to the ground in pain.

After receiving first aid, Van Khang was unable to continue playing. He left the field with a cut around his mouth, requiring a bandage to stop the bleeding before being taken straight to the hospital for stitches. The incident forced coach Velizar Popov to bring on Dang Van Tram as a replacement.

In this match, the home team took a 1-0 lead thanks to a successful penalty by Pedro Henrique. But the biggest highlight came from Damian Vu Thanh An. The Vietnamese-born striker was brought on in the 81st minute to replace Pedro, and needed only two minutes to make his mark.

From goalkeeper Van Viet's long ball, the Ho Chi Minh City Police defense was thrown into disarray. Damian seized the opportunity, sprinting past both the defender and goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang, before calmly slotting the ball into the empty net.

Damian was born in 2003 in Poland, came through the Olimpia Grudziadz youth academy, had a stint playing in the Polish fourth division, and was loaned to Stal Brzeg last season.

In the 90+1 minute, Lucao scored the decisive goal, giving Coach Popov's team a convincing 3-0 victory. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Police were brought back down to earth after their opening match win against Hanoi FC 2-1.
