Defeating Viettel, Hanoi Club is close to winning the V.League 2022
The draw against Binh Dinh in the previous round made Viettel run out of chances to compete for the championship. Meanwhile, Hanoi FC needs points when confronting Viettel to reclaim the top spot from Hai Phong Club.
The first half of the match at Hang Day Stadium took place with an even position. The two teams gave the audience some interesting doubles. Hanoi FC created many waves on the opponent's goal thanks to the active activities of Tuan Hai, Lucao and Xuan Tu in attack.

The defense of Viettel Club with the direction of Bui Tien Dung is still focused. The lack of accuracy in the decisive passes made coach Chun Jae Ho's army unable to tear the net of goalkeeper Nguyen Manh in the first 45 minutes.
On the other side of the front line, Viettel Club created dangerous opportunities with Hoang Duc's breakthrough ability and Geovane's air combat ability. Unfortunately, the strikers of the army team could not beat Bui Tan Truong.
The tug-of-war continued to be created by both teams in the second half. 58 minutes, Ho Khac Ngoc passed a dangerous cross. In the dispute to receive that pass, a red shirt player fell in the penalty area. However, the referee determined that there was no fault of the Hanoi player.

Right after that, the Hanoi club had a quick counterattack with a speeding phase on the right wing corridor of Do Hung Dung. Receiving a pass from the captain of the Hanoi club, Xuan Tu handled the ball skillfully at the bottom of the border before crossing the line for Lucao to score, opening the scoring for the blue shirt team.
The lead goal helps Hanoi players to play more confidently. Meanwhile, Viettel club still tries to attack to find the goal to equalize the score. To realize the above goal, coach Bae Jiwon has two consecutive changes to strengthen the attack power. Duy Thuong and Khac Ngoc left the field, making way for Hoang Minh and Nham Manh Dung.
In the last minutes of the match, Hanoi Club still created many waves on Viettel's goal. However, the shots of Lucao and his teammates were inaccurate. On the other side of the front line, the changes could not help Viettel Club to score. In the last minutes of the match, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh was present in the penalty area of Hanoi club to participate in the attack but was helpless to find a goal. The capital derby ended with a 1-0 victory for Hanoi FC.
With this result, Hanoi FC has 47 points, returning to the top of the rankings when 2 points ahead of Hai Phong club but played less than 1 match. In the remaining two matches of the season, coach Chun Jae Ho's army needs to win 1 point to be crowned champion.
