Van Hau is injured.

In the 56th minute, Van Hau appeared to be in pain and had to receive medical attention. The 1999-born defender was unable to continue playing and had to leave the field on a stretcher. Coach Mano Polking then had to bring on Minh Phuc, a member of the Vietnam U23 team, as a substitute.

The extent of Van Hau's injury is still undetermined. The CAHN defender will undergo further examination in the coming days to determine his specific condition and when he can return to the field.

In this match, Van Hau still managed to leave his mark with an assist in the 45+2 minute. From his cross from the left wing, Alan rushed in and finished from close range, beating goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and increasing the score to 3-1 for CAHN.

Notably, Van Hau only made his comeback in December 2025 for CAHN in a match against Buriram United, after more than 25 months of treatment and recovery from injury. In that return, he made a strong impression with his aggressive, powerful playing style and showed solidity against the attacking line of the Thai representative.

In coach Mano Polking's tactical system, Van Hau plays a crucial role thanks to his ability to meet the coaching staff's professional requirements, including solid defensive capabilities, extensive playing experience, and the ability to create breakthroughs from his runs down the wing.

Not only CAHN, but also Vietnamese national team fans are closely monitoring Van Hau's injury status. Supporters hope the 25-year-old defender will not have a serious problem and can soon return to regular play, thereby bringing depth, strength, and stability to the defense.

With a 3-2 victory over Ninh Binh , CAHN rose to the top of the V.League standings, simultaneously ending their opponent's 11-match unbeaten streak in the domestic league.
