After the intense victory over Cebu FC, French-Vietnamese defender Quang Vinh revealed his joy upon netting the winning goal, helping CAHN claim important 3 points.
On the evening of September 24, Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) achieved a dramatic win against Cebu FC (Philippines) in the second round of Group A at the 2025/26 Southeast Asian Club Cup. In a tightly contested match lasting 90 minutes, the turning point came from the brilliant moment of midfielder Cao Pendant Quang Vinh.
In the final minute of the match, Phan Văn Đức fired a shot that the Cebu goalkeeper couldn’t hold. At that exact moment, Quang Vinh rushed in and struck quickly, scoring the only goal and sealing a 1-0 victory for CAHN.
This invaluable goal not only earned the police team their first 3 points after a defeat in the opening match but also ignited hope for advancing from Group A.
After the game, Quang Vinh openly shared his emotions about this historic moment: “I’m very happy to have scored the goal that brought the win to the team. We had been waiting for this goal the entire match, so the feeling right now is amazing. This is a victory for the whole squad, and we are enjoying it.”
Regarding the opponent, Quang Vinh admitted that Cebu posed numerous challenges: “Today’s match was really tough. They defended very tightly, forcing us to move the ball faster. I have to acknowledge that Cebu is a strong team and made us work hard throughout the 90 minutes.”
When asked about the significance of the first 3 points, Quang Vinh emphasized: “These 3 points are extremely important. Our goal is to reach the semifinals, so starting like this means a lot to the whole team.”
With the victory over Cebu, CAHN temporarily climbed to 4th place in Group A, relieving pressure after the opening loss. The journey ahead is long, but Quang Vinh’s timely brilliance is expected to boost the police team’s confidence in upcoming matches at the 2025/26 Southeast Asian Club Cup.
