Hai Long emphasizes that the 3 points against Dong A Thanh Hoa are crucial for Hanoi FC in the upcoming stages.
On the evening of September 26, Hanoi FC secured their first win of the 2025/26 season with a 2-1 comeback victory over Dong A Thanh Hoa. This win relieved the capital team of the pressure that had been building up recently.
After the match, midfielder Nguyen Hai Long commented:“We entered this game under quite a bit of pressure. Fortunately, we fought together, and most importantly, we achieved the 3 points as planned. This is a very important victory for Hanoi FC in the forthcoming journey.”
Hanoi FC conceded a goal in the 2nd minute due to an unsafe clearance by Do Duy Manh. It wasn’t until the second half that foreign players Daniel Passira and Luiz Fernando scored to secure the home victory.
“After conceding early, we became a bit impatient. At halftime, we discussed with the coaching staff and encouraged each other to keep trying. We believed that once we scored one goal, the next would follow. Just as the coaching staff and teammates planned, we made it happen.”
“I think not only myself but all players always give 100% fighting spirit, especially after such poor results recently. I believe everyone, not just me, is very determined, and today’s 3 points are well deserved for Hanoi FC,” Hai Long added.
