HAGL played a tight defensive match at Thong Nhat Stadium. On offense, coach Kiatisak Senamuang arranged for Van Toan with two foreign ministers, Washington Brandao and Jefferson Baiano.
Two Brazilian foreign soldiers were assigned to build the wall, with Van Toan in charge of pressing, using speed and technique to put pressure on Yokohama’s left-back.

Apart from Van Toan, Cong Phuong also worked tirelessly for 90 minutes. Players wearing the No. 10 jersey had a variety of situations when they made a mutation on the ball, but in the last step, Cong Fang did not cooperate well with Baiano and Brandao.
Bayano played an unremarkable game in constant coordination with his teammates. HAGL’s rookies need more time to integrate.
Midfielder Mauricio (No. 94) had a lot of good aerial situations in this game. Mauricio was also the player who pressured the Yokohama defender to score an own goal in the first half, but on the defensive end, Mauricio played erratically.
In the second half, Xuan Chang was kicked to the field by coach Chiati Sak and replaced Duan An. The No. 6 did a great job helping HAGL keep the pace of the game.
