Breaking News: Hanoi Police Suffer Shocking Defeat in Capital Derby against The Cong Viettel

In a surprising turn of events, Hanoi Police suffered a 0-3 defeat against The Cong Viettel in round 13 of V-League 2023/24. Despite being favored due to their recent form, coach Kiatisuk Senamuang’s team couldn’t secure a win against the bottom-ranked opponent.

The goals that sealed the victory for The Cong Viettel came from Nham Manh Dung (32′), Pedro Henrique Oliveira Silva (45′), and Khuat Van Khang (70′). This unexpected loss not only ended Hanoi Police’s four-match unbeaten streak under coach Kiatisuk Senamuang but also saw defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh sustain a torn lip in a collision with Pedro Henrique early in the game.

Bui Hoang Viet Anh had to leave the field for emergency treatment and is expected to be out of action for a while, having received four stitches for his injury. The absence of the 25-year-old player poses a concern for both CAHN Club and the Vietnam National Team, especially with Que Ngoc Hai still recovering.

Adding to their woes, Hanoi FC confirmed that Pham Tuan Hai injured his right ankle joint and will need at least a month of rest before being able to return to playing. These injuries come at a critical time for the Vietnamese team, who have upcoming matches against Indonesia on March 21 and March 26, crucial for their chances of progressing in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers under coach Philippe Troussier.

With key players sidelined due to injuries, the Vietnamese team faces a challenging period as they aim to secure vital points in the upcoming fixtures. The absence of Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Pham Tuan Hai will undoubtedly test the team’s depth and resilience as they look to navigate through crucial matches in their quest for success in the 2026 World Cup campaign.
