The match between CA TP.HCM and Hanoi on the afternoon of August 16 was the highlight of the second match day of round 1 of V.League 2025/26. At home, CA TP.HCM showed their sharpness in transition situations to score 2 goals in the first half. The goals belonged to Tien Linh in the 2nd minute and Huy Toan in the 27th minute.

Those two phases not only showed the neat handling skills of the individuals but also demonstrated the precise tactical calculations from the coaching bench.

Under the guidance of coach Le Huynh Duc, CA TP.HCM dominated the game for most of the match, even though their opponent was considered one of the "big guys" of the tournament. The home team's style of play made it very difficult for Hanoi to find an equalizer.

It was not until the 84th minute that the purple team was able to score a goal to reduce the score thanks to Van Tung's goal. However, the remaining time was not enough for Hanoi to regain 1 point.

The 2-1 victory over Hanoi helped coach Le Huynh Duc and his team start the season smoothly with 3 points, while also reinforcing the belief in an ambitious team. Under the leadership of the experienced coach, CA TP.HCM is expected to become a strong candidate in the 2025/26 V.League championship race.
