Three players from one club helped Vietnam defeat Bangladesh in just 45 minutes.

The Vietnamese national team demonstrated superior strength, especially with a notable impact from the Hanoi FC group of players in the first half.

The Vietnamese national team entered the friendly match against Bangladesh on March 26th at Hang Day Stadium with a lineup that drew much attention. Coach Kim Sang Sik surprised by not using both naturalized players from the start, instead giving an opportunity to Do Hoang Hen, while Nguyen Xuan Son was on the bench.

Notably, the starting lineup of the Vietnamese national team included five players from Hanoi FC, spread across all three lines. In the forward line, the trio of Do Hoang Hen, Pham Tuan Hai, and Hai Long started together, bringing synergy due to their familiarity from playing together at the club. This group of players made a significant impact in the first half.

The on-field reality showed that Coach Kim Sang Sik's choices were well-founded. In the 7th minute, from a corner kick situation, Tuan Hai's shot deflected off a Bangladeshi player, opening the score 1-0 for Vietnam. This play demonstrated the sharpness of the Hanoi FC forward.

Not stopping there, the Hanoi players continued to contribute to the second goal. In the 15th minute, from a set-piece situation, Xuan Manh moved intelligently before heading the ball into the opponent's net, raising the score to 2-0. The synergy and coordination ability of the familiar player group helped the Vietnamese national team completely control the match situation.

Before the first half ended, Hai Long - another name from Hanoi FC - continued to shine. In the 40th minute, he confidently dribbled into the box and shot accurately into the far corner, sealing the score at 3-0. The three goals in the first 45 minutes all bore the strong imprint of Hanoi FC players, showing the effectiveness of the personnel arrangement.

In other positions, Coach Kim Sang Sik also made notable choices. Dang Van Lam started in goal instead of Nguyen Filip, while the defense included Duy Manh and Xuan Manh alongside newcomer Ngoc Bao. The wing positions were given to Van Vi and Tien Anh, and the midfield remained with Hoang Duc and Quang Hai.

Some names like Doan Van Hau or Tran Dinh Trong were not used from the start, indicating a strategy prioritizing stability and cohesion. With what was shown in the first half, especially the impact from Hanoi FC players, the Vietnamese national team is showing a clear direction under Coach Kim Sang Sik ahead of upcoming challenges.
