Hanoi was cut even though Nguyen Van Quyet shines
Excited after the draw with CAHN, Ha Tinh returned home to welcome another team from the capital, defending champion Hanoi FC. However, the homeowner was quickly doused with cold water. In the 3rd minute, from a very swirling corner on the left wing of captain Nguyen Van Quyet, foreign soldier Marco Silva jumped to head the net of goalkeeper Thanh Tung. This is Van Quyet's first match, after an eight-match suspension.
A minute later, Ha Tinh also responded with a corner. Striker Diallo rushed in to head in after Janclesio's cross, but the referee raised the flag for offside. Hosts don't have to wait too long to celebrate. In the 13th minute, Viet Trieu poked a gap from the middle of the field, letting Diallo escape to shoot diagonally from a distance of more than 10 meters to defeat goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong, equalizing 1-1 for Ha Tinh.
The two teams played tit-for-tat, creating an attractive chase. 33 minutes, from Tan Truong's kick, the ball reached Van Quyet's feet. The Hanoi captain skillfully controlled, dribbled the ball with two feet through Ha Tinh's defenders and then hit the left post into the net Thanh Tung, raising the score to 2-1 for Hanoi. In this situation, some defensive players of the host hesitated, thinking that the ball had touched the hand of the captain of Hanoi, so they did not tackle fiercely, but referee Tran Ngoc Nho waved his hand for the match to lead, and the away team had the advantage.
But just five minutes later, Ha Tinh equalized. From the right wing attack, Xuan Toan escaped, passing the technical ball with the outside cheek to the inside. The High School midfielder flew to hit the ground from a distance of more than 7 meters and hit Tan Truong's net, equalizing 2-2. Behind this table, Ha Tinh players and Ha Tinh coaching staff hugged each other to celebrate enthusiastically. The school bridge in the four stands of Ha Tinh yard seemed to explode, thousands of spectators continuously clapped and shouted.
After an attractive chase in the first half, in the second half both the home team and the away team played slowly. The attacking situations of Hanoi all passed through Van Quyet's feet, but the spearheads like Tuan Hai or Caion were locked by the host's tall defense. Near the end of the game, coach Bandozar Bandovic was impatient, constantly on the field shouting and directing to raise the squad. Even in some situations, when the ball flew close to the technical area of the away team, the Serbian coach immediately hugged and threw it to the students to enter the game quickly.
Ha Tinh also has the opportunity to finish the match. In the 79th minute, in the attack on the left wing, Diallo headed the pass for Van Long. From a distance of 5 m, the midfielder took a shot but was stopped by the Hanoi defender. In the first minute of stoppage time, Tran Phi Son took a corner kick, and captain Janclesio jumped high, headed the ball wide and narrowly missed the goal. Foreign soldiers Ha Tinh repeatedly slapped their hands on the head to express regret, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's technical zone patted his head, and thousands of spectators on Ha Tinh field stood up and missed.
Draw 2-2, Ha Tinh is still sixth in the championship group, while defending champion Hanoi is second with two points less than CAHN. In the third round of phase II, Ha Tinh will be Viettel's guest, while Hanoi will host Nam Dinh.
