The match between Hanoi FC and Hai Phong encountered an incident and had to be stopped for 40 minutes.

A lamppost malfunction at Hang Day Stadium caused the match between Hanoi and Hai Phong to be temporarily stopped. This happened just before the second half began, causing the match to start 30 minutes later than scheduled.

Players from both sides passed the ball back and forth on the field waiting for officials to resolve the issue. After about 15 minutes, the players returned to the locker room to wait until further notice. The match was suspended for 40 minutes before the second half resumed, and continued with only three working lights.

After the first 45 minutes, Hanoi led 2-1 against Hai Phong . The port city team opened the score in the 3rd minute. From Trieu Viet Hung's difficult header, Pham Xuan Manh, in an attempt to block, kicked the ball into his own net.

Hanoi FC pushed up their formation to find a goal. They got what they wanted in the 16th minute. Xuan Manh ran up the left wing before crossing for Joel Tagueu to head home the equalizer.

The players passed the ball back and forth while the organizers handled the incident.

Before the end of the first half, the home team took the lead, also thanks to the Cameroonian striker. From the cross from the right wing, 3 Hai Phong defenders were confused and could not clear the ball. Tagueu took advantage to score the second goal.

The match between Hanoi and Hai Phong is in round 2 of V-League 2023/2024. Hang Day Stadium does not allow away team fans to enter the field due to a ban by VFF. Last season, fans of this team set off fireworks and were banned from entering Hanoi FC's field for 1 match.

This is Hanoi FC's first match of the season. They missed round 1 due to the AFC Champions League 2023/2024 schedule. Meanwhile, Hai Phong FC started the season with a 1-1 draw against HAGL, at Lach Tray home ground.
