Player Cao Pendant Quang Vinh expressed his feelings following his goal that secured a 1-0 victory for CAHN over Cebu FC.
Cao Pendant Quang Vinh was the highlight in CAHN’s win against Cebu FC on the evening of September 24. In the 89th minute, when it seemed CAHN would be held to a draw by the Philippine side, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh made a follow-up shot to seal a 1-0 win for the home team. Notably, this was also Cao Pendant Quang Vinh’s first goal of the season.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Vietnamese-French defender admitted that the opponent played very disciplined defense: "The opponent defended very solidly, which made it difficult for us. However, the whole team never gave up, and I am very happy to have contributed to the victory," Pendant Quang Vinh added.
With this valuable goal, the Vietnamese-French defender was also named the man of the match. This will motivate him to keep pushing alongside the police department team in the challenging games ahead.
With their first 3 points, CAHN temporarily rises to 4th place with 3 points from 2 matches, keeping their hopes alive to compete for a spot to advance from Group A. However, this hard-fought win also serves as a costly lesson for coach Mano Polking’s team, as they still have strong opponents like reigning champions Buriram United, Selangor, and Tampines Rovers to face.
In the third round on December 3, coach Polking’s team will visit Buriram United’s stadium.
