In the first leg of the final at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi Police and Buriram United teams drew 2-2. This is a regrettable result for the Vietnamese representative when they lost the advantage of playing at home.
Hanoi Police took the lead twice thanks to goals from Leo Artur and Alan. However, the team from the land of the Golden Temple also tried to level the gap with the goals of foreign players Good and Zulj.
Unable to win caused Quang Hai and his teammates to face difficulties when they had to visit Buriram United in the second leg.
Statistics show that Buriram has played very well at home this season. In 15 home matches alone, they have only lost 2 matches against Port FC and Pathum United. Meanwhile, in the Thai League Cup and FA Cup, coach Omar Loss and his team also won all.
In the Southeast Asian Cup C1, Theerathon Bunmathan and his teammates were also unbeaten at Chang Arena with 3 wins and 1 draw. They beat Kayo-Iloilo (Philippines) 7-0, Borneo (Indonesia) 4-0 and Kuala Lumpur 1-0. In the second leg of the semi-final, Buriram United drew 0-0 with Pathum United after winning 3-1 away.
If they want to win the championship trophy, Hanoi Police need to overcome psychological pressure and play confidently against Buriram. Coach Polking's team must overcome the opponent's strength and make the most of opportunities, avoiding missing too many opportunities such as the first leg.
The second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 final between Hanoi Police and Buriram United takes place at 7:30 p.m. on May 21.
