Why did HAGL play round 4 of V-League in December?

Round 4 of V-League this season has only 6 matches, instead of 7 matches as usual. The two teams that will not play in round 4 are HAGL and Hanoi Police Club. The match in round 4 between HAGL and Hanoi Police team was postponed by the organizers, scheduled to take place on December 18.

The reason is that Hanoi Police are fighting on many fronts at the same time, including the AFC Champions League Two (Asian Cup C2) and ASEAN Club Championship (Southeast Asia Cup C1). To create the best conditions for the police team to compete for achievements in regional and continental tournaments, the V-League schedule has been adjusted.

From now until the make-up match of round 4 with Hanoi Police Club, HAGL will play 1 match less than other teams. Meanwhile, Hanoi Police Club has played 4 matches in V-League. Because on September 13, the police team played in the early match of round 6, winning 2-1 against Hai Phong Club.

At this time, coach Mano Polking and his team are temporarily leading the V-League standings with 10 points. HAGL is likely to fall to the bottom of the table after round 4 ends. The mountain town team is currently second to last with 1 point (goal difference -4), while Thanh Hoa FC, at the bottom of the table, also has 1 point (goal difference -5). In case the Thanh team scores against Hai Phong FC in round 4, HAGL will be temporarily pushed to the bottom of the table.
