In the match of round 12 of the 2024-2025 National First Division on the afternoon of April 6, Hue club had to face a rare situation when defender Vu Quoc Anh suddenly became the goalkeeper in emergency circumstances.
The ancient capital team visited PVF-CAND, an opponent competing fiercely for promotion to V.League, while Hue is facing many challenges when it is second to last in the rankings.
It all started not long after the opening whistle, when goalkeeper Vo Duc Bao suffered a shoulder injury in a save and could not continue playing. Lam Le Phuoc Tien Dung was substituted, but luck did not smile on the away team. Just 10 minutes later, Tien Dung also had to leave the field due to a shoulder injury in an obstruction, causing Hue club to lose both goalkeepers.
Faced with the urgent situation, with no other choice, Hue club decided to bring defender Vu Quoc Anh to the goalkeeper position.
Despite many difficulties, Quoc Anh and his teammates fought steadfastly. Vu Quoc Anh, although not a goalkeeper, still excellently defended the goal, helping Hue maintain the net throughout the first half when his teammates supported the defense with great concentration.
