Thanh Hai throws in to
Ntibazonkiza in the box for the kickback to
Van Loi just outside. Back in the ball goes, and
Singh hits the mid-range shot!
1-0
46 -
The Anh gives away a stupid fucking penalty seconds before half, but luckily
Van Phong stops it
55 -
Nguyen Anh Tuan shifts down to DM, the
Dang Man comes on at MC, and
Van Hau is off for
Nguyen Thanh Nam
81 - So! A bunch of bullshit happens: 1) We're denied a penalty, and 2 )
Van Loi is knocked off with injury. So it's a 5-2-1-2 with
Phan Anh Tuan as our 5th backline member.
8.4 PotM for
Dinesh Singh, the only one of our foreign players to get constant call-ups from his national team. His aides -
Nguyen Thanh Hai (7.6) and
Nguyen Van Thanh (7.4).
A vital victory, but a pricey one -
Van Van Loi is out 5-6 months with a broken foot. Devastating blow. On the plus side, we now have a 9 point advantage of promotion playoffs and with 17 points, we're over the halfway mark with 2 games left to play before the midpoint of the season.
Ha Noi T&T finally fire their manager, as 11 matches later, they still don't have a single point. In the media coverage announcing the firing, they show clips of our upsetting them in the National Cup last season.

They won their first game with a caretaker manager, so this has trap match writ large.
45 -
Dang Anh Tuan wings out left to
Nguyen Van Thanh and on the cross,
Singh surges to shoot the ball in. We should be up like by 3 at this point, but our strikers have been shit
1-0
56 -
Singh with the short pass to
Van Hau and he outmaneuvers two defenders for a gorgeous box feed to
