CAHN vs Cebu: The Obligation to Win

Following a regrettable draw against Beijing Guoan in the AFC Cup 2, Coach Mano Polking’s team returns to Hang Day to host Cebu FC (Philippines) in the second round of the Shopee Cup 2025/26.

Before this match, the police-affiliated team received bad news regarding their squad as three key players Quang Hải, Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh, and overseas Vietnamese Adou Minh suffered injuriesand are unable to play. Meanwhile, the Philippine side will field their strongest lineup.

On this trip to Vietnam, Coach Tomasito Ramos brings a strong squad featuring many foreign players from Brazil, Japan, and Senegal. They openly aim to surprise the hosts. On the other hand, CAHN still boasts notable names such as Alan, Leo Artur, Vitao, Đình Bắc, and Lê Phạm Thành Long... Moreover, Coach Mano Polking trusts that the substitutes will fulfill their roles effectively.

In terms of strength, CAHN clearly holds an advantage over Cebu FC when considering the current development level of the two football systems. With a quality roster, CAHN has demonstrated consistency this season. In their last 5 matches, the police-affiliated team won 3, drew 1, and lost 1. Cebu FC currently ranks 6th in the Philippine Premier League standings.

Victory is expected to be within the home team’s reach, but Filip Nguyễn and his teammates must not be complacent.
