Captain Nguyễn Quang Hải kept up his impressive form by scoring two back-to-back goals for CAHN in just 3 minutes versus Tampines Rovers.
Quang Hải once again played the hero role by scoring a quick double, significantly contributing to CAHN’s 4-0 victory over Tampines Rovers and opening the door wide to the quarterfinals.
The opening goal from number 19 came in the 24th minute, marked by sharp instincts. Leo Artur unleashed a powerful long-range shot that forced the Tampines goalkeeper to parry, and Quang Hải was perfectly positioned to tap in the rebound, putting CAHN ahead.
Just 3 minutes later, the 1997-born midfielder made his mark again with a classy move. During a counterattack, Alan sprinted down the right wing and crossed inside. Leo Artur skillfully flicked the ball to the second line, setting up Quang Hải’s run. Although his header was slightly long, he stretched to nutmeg the Tampines defender before calmly finishing with a precise angled shot, completing his personal brace.
These two consecutive goals not only highlight his scoring instinct but also reinforce Quang Hải’s irreplaceable role as the “playmaker” in CAHN’s gameplay. Whenever the team needs a difference-maker, the number 19 midfielder remains the greatest professional and emotional pillar.
Quang Hải’s outstanding performance and steady form also bring encouraging signs for coach Kim Sang Sik, especially as Vietnam National Team prepares for a crucial match against Malaysia on March 31st.
Returning to the match, CAHN secured a 4-0 overall win, greatly enhancing their chances of reaching the quarterfinals. The two teams will face off again in the second leg at Tampines Rovers’ home ground on February 18th at Jalan Besar Stadium.
