Công An Hà Nội came into the semifinals with a commanding win over PSM Makassar. Their notable performance helped them to qualify for the final of the ASEAN Club Championship. The showcase gave us some standout performances by some of the league’s biggest stars. Hugo Gomes and Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh emerged as the most surprising goalscoring heroes for the team.
Brazilian Hugo Gomes has been a revelation this season in V.League 1, bagging four goals in 17 games. He scored the first goal of the game, giving his squad an emphatic finish. With one touch, he instinctively swung his powerful right peg and tucked the ball into the far corner. This surprise tactic completely took the defense by surprise and gave Công An Hà Nội the lead in the opening minutes of the match. The Brazilian forward’s goal was a statement marker, as it paved the way for the remainder of the one-sided game.
Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh left his mark as well, scoring a stunning goal. From here, he demonstrated amazing technique with his first touch as he killed THOSE neck-high with the greatest of ease. Then he curled a left-footed shot into the bottom corner of the net. This third goal added to the team’s impressive scorecard. It demonstrated one of Việt Anh’s technical skills and his calmness under pressure.
In contrast to their contributions, there were others that had much quieter outings. It’s not often that musketeer Lê Văn Đô, one of the most electrifying players on the field, struggles like that. He never looked comfortable and was always one step off the pace during the match. Tháileon, the magician that has dazzled fans all season for Công An Hà Nội, sat on the bench for most of the match. Marty, well – he was ready for his moment to dazzle.
Công An Hà Nội also possesses proven talents such as Nguyễn Quang Hải, Alan Grafite, and Léo Artur amongst others. Léo Artur, another talented Brazilian marksman, has been a huge addition to the team this year. He has already registered four goals this season. Their collective efforts have made Công An Hà Nội one of the most prolific sides in this year’s ASEAN Club Championship.
The American team’s successful march through the tournament has been characterized by their blistering attacking talent and tactical discipline. Through the semifinals they were favorite. Their reputation for producing high-scoring matches certainly held true in their matchup against PSM Makassar.
