On the afternoon of January 31st, Coach Kim Sang Sik watched the Hải Phòng vs Thể Công Viettel match at Lạch Tray Stadium. At this event, the Korean coach was given a reward of 300 million VND for his recent contributions to Vietnamese football.
On the afternoon of January 31st, right after finishing his journey with the U23 Vietnam team, Coach Kim Sang Sik returned to his work routine. Accordingly, the Korean strategist was present at Lạch Tray Stadium to observe the match between Hải Phòng Club and Thể Công Viettel as part of the 12th round of the V-League.
Notably, at this event, Coach Kim was presented with 300 million VND by a Hải Phòng-based business in recognition of his contributions and professional impact during his time with the national and U23 Vietnam teams. This reward serves as timely encouragement, reflecting trust and high expectations for the Korean coach’s upcoming journey.
The match between the đất Cảng team and Thể Công Viettel featured some U23 Vietnam players, including Nhật Minh and Văn Khang. However, possibly due to just returning, neither started the game and both were substituted in only at the beginning of the second half. Before the match, center-back Nhật Minh also received a 300 million VND reward for his impressive performance at the U23 Asian Championship and other tournaments.
In this match, the visiting team Thể Công Viettel secured a 2-1 victory over Hải Phòng thanks to a brace by Lucao. On the other side, the home team’s sole goal was scored by Tagueu.
Regarding Coach Kim Sang Sik, the Korean coach will continue to attend upcoming V-League matches to observe and identify new talents for various levels of the national teams in the near future.
