In the match in the second round of Night Wolf V.League 2023, Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong both aim to win all 3 points.
Although they have to play away from home, it is Hai Phong who has a better position right after the opening whistle. However, after the first few minutes of weakness, the host Ho Chi Minh City began to react strongly with appropriate counterattacks, but the focus of the defense helped Hai Phong’s goal to be maximum safe.
In general, Hai Phong was still the sharper team in the first half, as evidenced by their opening goal. Minute 39, Van Minh hung the ball from the left wing and Huu Son headed the tactic. Ho Chi Minh City’s defense focused on both foreign players Carlos Herrera and Mpande, so it opened up an opportunity for Viet Hung to jump in and hit the home team’s net. Viet Hung is a player on the payroll of Hoang Anh Gia Lai who plays for Hai Phong on loan.
Receiving a goal, coach Vu Tien Thanh began to make many adjustments to personnel and tactics to find an equalizer in the second half. However, although the game was somewhat sharper, Ho Chi Minh City strikers like Daniel Green , Hoang Vu Samson still proved ungrateful in the final finishing stage.
In the end, Hai Phong won at least 1-0 right on the field of Ho Chi Minh City. Three points have helped Hai Phong temporarily climb to second place with 4 points after 2 rounds. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City has yet to win any points after the first 2 matches of the season.
