Van Quyet's missed penalty kick was a turning point.

" I acknowledge the players' efforts. We opened the scoring but then lost the lead. In the second half, we played with determination to secure this victory. The turning point was Van Quyet's missed penalty. If he had scored, it would have been all over, " coach Chu Dinh Nghiem shared after the match.

Hai Phong FC visited Hanoi FC's Hang Day Stadium in Round 2 of the V-League 2023/2024. The team from the port city took the lead thanks to an own goal by Pham Xuan Manh. The home team pushed forward and scored two goals through Joel Tagueu.

Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm is pleased with his players.

In the second half, the home team was awarded a penalty in the 56th minute. However, Van Quyet failed to beat goalkeeper Dinh Trieu. Four minutes later, Luong Hoang Nam headed in the equalizer. Lucao then scored three goals to give Hai Phong a 5-2 lead. Hanoi FC's efforts only resulted in one more goal, scored by Tagueu in the 90+12th minute.

" In the first half, Hai Phong FC was drawn into the opponent's style of play. I instructed the players to be bolder and put more pressure on the opponent in the second half to secure this victory ," added coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.

Regarding the lighting system malfunction, the Hai Phong coach said: " Of course, it affected the players' visibility. However, the referee consulted with both teams and we agreed to continue playing. At that time, the captains, coaches, and presidents of both teams were present. Postponing the match would have been very difficult, so both teams decided to continue playing ."

Meanwhile, coach Le Duc Tuan stated: " I had 21 days to train with the team. We faced many difficulties, and the players also struggled psychologically. We had little time to work together. I take responsibility for this defeat ."
