Hanoi Police Club did not start well in the Southeast Asian Cup C1 when they lost 1-2 to BG Pathum United (Thailand). This match also caused coach Polking and his team to receive a lot of criticism.
Accordingly, Hanoi Police played aggressively and put great pressure on the Thai representative, and scored an early opening goal. When BG Pathum played with one less player when a player received a red card, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to score more goals, Hanoi Police lost focus and missed a series of opportunities.
Finally, midfielder Chanathip shined with two individual moments, bringing home 2 goals to help BG Pathum turn the tide to defeat Hanoi Police.
After a regrettable defeat in the opening match, the Police team is determined to get a favorable result against Cebu FC (Philippines) in round 2. With the advantage of playing at Hang Day, Mr. Polking and his students understand what they need to do to keep 3 points at home.
Similar to Hanoi Police, Cebu also lost 1-3 to Tampines in the opening match. However, the Philippines representative is not an easy opponent as they have a quality foreign squad from Brazil, Japan, Senegal, Cambodia.
Cebu's playing style is physical, ball-playing and the ability to take advantage of set pieces. Rapid counter-attacks can be a threat to the Hanoi Police defense.
To defeat the opponent, the Hang Day home team needs to focus on defense, avoiding making mistakes like the recent match against Beijing Guoan. In addition, Dinh Bac, Alan and Leo Artur must improve their finishing and ability to take advantage of opportunities to avoid losing points regrettably.
The match between Hanoi Police and Cebu takes place at 7:30 p.m. today (September 14) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
