Both Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel exhibited strong determination to secure points in their clash at Lach Tray during the 12th match of V-League 2023/24 on March 2. Despite being the home team, Hai Phong took the initiative early on, pressing forward. On the opposite end, Nguyen Hoang Duc and The Cong Viettel struggled with their offensive plays. The critical moment came just before halftime.
In the 44th minute, Tran Manh Cuong capitalized on a rebound from Tran Danh Trung’s initial shot to give The Cong Viettel the lead. However, their joy was short-lived as Bui Tien Dung unintentionally scored an own goal in injury time, allowing Hai Phong to level the score. The second half witnessed a subdued battle with limited goal-scoring opportunities for both sides, despite tactical adjustments from both coaches.
Following the final whistle, Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel settled for a 1-1 draw. The outcome sees Hai Phong climb to 8th place in the V-League standings, while The Cong Viettel drop to 13th. The latter faces the risk of slipping further down the table if Hong Linh Ha Tinh secure a win against Hanoi Police in their upcoming fixture.
Final Score: Hai Phong 1-1 The Cong Viettel
Goals: Manh Cuong (44′) – Huu Son (45’+1)
The match showcased a competitive display from both teams, highlighting their resilience and tactical awareness. The Cong Viettel will need to bounce back from this setback to avoid further descent in the league standings, while Hai Phong will look to build on this performance in their upcoming fixtures.
