Nguyen Hoang Duc is seriously injured

In the 58th minute, Hoang Duc was leading the ball when Van Toan rushed to a fierce dispute, kicking hard on his shin. The collision caused the Vietnamese midfielder to lie on the field and then had to ask for the care of doctors. He then sat in the technical area with his leg bandaged.

After the match, coach Thach Bao Khanh confirmed: "Hoang Duc was seriously injured, but we have to check carefully to determine the details".

He also revealed that Geovane Magno - who had to leave the field in the 13th minute after colliding with CAHN defender Elton Monteiro - also needed to be taken to the hospital for examination. This is the first official match of the Brazilian striker after recovering from injury.

In the situation that led to Hoang Duc's injury, even though he entered the ball maliciously, Van Toan only had to receive a yellow card. When asked about the referee's decision, coach Thach Bao Khanh said: "That situation was in the middle of the field and I stood too far away, and I have not reviewed the behavior of the ball. I think the referee stood closer than me to make a decision. more correct".

Despite the loss of force, Viettel still won 2-1 against CAHN thanks to the goals of Bui Tien Dung in 15 minutes and Nguyen Duc Chien in 63 minutes. CAHN's only goal was scored by... Bui Tien Dung himself. According to coach Thach Bao Khanh, scoring and then owning an own goal can happen to every player. He also commented that the Viettel captain did not feel the pressure and stood facing the goal, so that phase of the ball happened.

For coach Thach Bao Khanh, this match has a lot of meaning when leading a team to win in the V-League for the first time. At the same time, he is also a rare character to attend the capital derby as both a player (under The Cong) and a coach.

This victory helps Viettel rise to sixth place with five points and an unbeaten record. Meanwhile, CAHN ranked seventh with three points after their second consecutive loss.
