Victory Day of Ho Chi Minh City Police Club and Hanoi Police

Ho Chi Minh City Police Club won by a narrow margin against HAGL to temporarily rise to 6th place. Meanwhile, Hanoi Police Club won big in the capital derby. The two matches took place on August 28.

Returning to Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club showed a bright start with an overwhelming 1-0 victory over HAGL. Learning from the previous defeat, Coach Le Huynh Duc replaced Huy Toan with new player Viet Hoang, making his debut in the 2025-2026 V-League. The speed and youthfulness of the 2002-born player helped make the left wing of Ho Chi Minh City Police Club more dynamic. Thanks to that, the Thong Nhat Stadium team found a balance in their playing style, helping Quang Hung always be ready to move up to the right wing.

It can be seen that the "rainy" training sessions of coach Le Huynh Duc and his team gradually showed their effectiveness. The players gradually accumulated physical strength and became more fluent and sharp. This was shown through the ball control time of more than 60% in the first half, launching 11 shots towards goalkeeper Trung Kien's goal.

In the 25th minute, Tay Van Toan shot wide when facing Trung Kien. Since then, the pressure on the third of the HAGL field helped the HCM City Police Club score the opening goal in the 41st minute. That was a lightning-fast pass from goalkeeper Patrick Le Giang, the ball was opened down the left flank to help Duc Phu penetrate the penalty area, cross back for Endrick to easily score the opening goal for the HCM City Police Club.

Ho Chi Minh City Police Club was not satisfied with the 1-goal difference, proactively pushing up to surround and find more goals, causing HAGL to encounter many difficulties. New foreign players such as Utzig gradually showed better integration into the general playing style, while rookie Makrillos, who entered the field in the 80th minute, also had a good debut. Of course, coach Le Huynh Duc would want his students to take advantage of opportunities and finish better, instead of the minimum score of 1-0.

Hanoi Police Club flourishes

At Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi Police Club continued to demonstrate the most creative attacking power in the V-League, beating Hanoi Club 4-2 in the capital derby. Despite heavy rain, Coach Mano Polking's players still controlled the ball up to 60%, while Hanoi Club had to wait until the 41st minute to have their first shot. The superiority in the ability to coordinate with a small group helped Hanoi Police Club completely control the match. On the contrary, Coach Teguramori Makoto was too cautious, not daring to use Hai Long, Van Quyet, Dinh Hai... from the beginning. Leo Artur's goal (minute 30) and Alan's hat-trick (minutes 66, 72, 76) simply confirmed the complete superiority of Hanoi Police Club. The late equalizers by Daniel (minute 84) and Dinh Hai (90+1) when the opponent was complacent will not help make Coach Makoto's future much less uncertain.
