Midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc suffered a serious injury and he could not move to the changing room by himself after the match between Hanoi Police Club vs Viettel FC.
In the 58th minute, coach Thach Bao Khanh had to substitute reluctantly when he put Nguyen Duc Chien on the field to replace midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc. Before that, the player born in 1998 had to receive the full phase of the ball more aggressively than needed by midfielder Hoang Van Toan on the side of the Hanoi Police Club. Immediately, the referee Nguyen Viet Duan drew a yellow card and fined Van Toan.
After the match, Hoang Duc still stayed to chat with his mother. However, he had to ask a teammate to carry him to the dressing room, but could not move on his own. Viettel FC won 2-1 against Hanoi Police Club with goals from Bui Tien Dung and Nguyen Duc Chien.
Hoang Duc could not go into the dressing room by himself after the match.
In round 4, the army team will have to face a difficult problem in terms of force. In the 13th minute, the main striker Geovane was injured and had to leave the field even though he did not collide with anyone. Worth mentioning, the Brazilian player has just returned from injury in the match against Hanoi Police Club.
Coach Thach Bao Khanh said: “Nguyen Hoang Duc suffered a relatively severe injury, so he had to go for a thorough examination to determine the extent of the injury. Geovane too, he also has to go to the hospital. Regarding the foul by the opposing player, the situation took place in the middle of the field. I stand at a very far position, so I can’t see how the action on the ball is, I think the referee has a closer position than me.“.
Hoang Duc tried to play after the collision but still had to leave the field.
Viettel FC will face Nam Dinh Club in round 4. This is considered an attractive match and contains many surprises. In the duel with HAGL, Nam Dinh club could not beat the away team and had to share points with the mountain town team at home.
However, it is undeniable that coach Vu Hong Viet’s teachers and students are formidable opponents to any team in the V-League. The absence of Hoang Duc and Geovane can make the task of winning at least 1 point against Viettel FC’s Nam Dinh club difficult.
