(V-League result) - The Cong - Viettel showed overwhelming performance against Ho Chi Minh City Police and won comfortably.

The Cong Viettel delivered a convincing performance by beating Ho Chi Minh City Police 3-0, confirming their strength and resilience in the V-League.

From the opening minutes, the soldiers’ team applied intense pressure. After missing a few chances, the turning point came in the 19th minute when Matheus handled the ball inside the penalty area, and Pedro Henrique calmly converted the penalty to give Viettel the lead. In the remainder of the first half, Lucao had a great opportunity in the 38th minute but failed to beat Patrik Lê Giang, ending the first 45 minutes with a narrow advantage for the home side.

In the second half, Viettel maintained control of the game. Tiến Anh and Lucao continuously threatened the opponent’s goal, but the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Lê Giang and the crossbar prevented further scoring. However, in the 85th minute, Damian Vũ capitalized on a miscommunication between the defender and goalkeeper of Ho Chi Minh City Police to easily double the lead.

At the 90th minute, Lucao’s persistent effort was finally rewarded. After a clever through ball from Hữu Thắng, the Brazilian striker sprinted forward and fired a decisive left-footed shot, sealing a convincing 3-0 victory for Viettel.
