V.League: Hanoi FC reclaim second place after win against Hai Phong
>>> V.League: Beating SHB Da Nang 2-0, Song Lam Nghe An climb to second Playing away to a higher-rated Hanoi side who possess a lineup of quality players, Hai Phong manager Truong Viet Hoang directed his players to play with solid defence, targeting to win at least one point against the title holders. In order to achieve that goal, the guests were loyal to the counter-attacking playstyle throughout the match, which made it difficult for Hanoi FC to approach the goal of keeper Van Toan. In a deadlock situation, Hanoi manager Chu Dinh Nghiem put Thanh Luong onto the field to replace Thai Quy just a few minutes before the break. Nghiem’s substitution worked immediately as Thanh Luong earned a penalty for the home side after his 41st-minute shot forced defender Van Loi into a handball.

Hoang Vu Samson is voted the … [Read more...] about V.League: Hanoi FC reclaim second place after win against Hai Phong
