Khuat Van Khang made a special mark to help The Cong Viettel beat Becamex TP.HCM: Coach Kim will be happy!

On the evening of August 30, in round 3 of V-League 2025-2026, U.23 Vietnam captain Khuat Van Khang left 1 assist in The Cong Viettel Club's 2-0 victory over Becamex TP.HCM.

Viettel The Cong Club plays overwhelmingly

Minh Khoa's return to the starting lineup could not help Becamex TP.HCM FC have a good match against The Cong Viettel team at Hang Day Stadium. The Vietnamese player and his teammate Quoc Khanh were somewhat outclassed by the central midfielder pair Nhat Nam - Wesley Nata on the home team.

Therefore, The Cong Viettel Club was the team with the better position in the first 45 minutes. They controlled the ball 65%, created 9 shots, twice as many as Becamex TP.HCM Club. The opportunities that coach Velizar Popov's students had mainly came from attacking the flanks. However, Van Khang, Tien Anh or Tuan Tai's crosses were not really sharp, so Lucao and Pedro did not have good chances. The most notable situation in the first half was Pedro's long-range shot that hit the post in the 24th minute.

In the opposite direction, Becamex TP.HCM Club created 2 opportunities from fast counter-attacks. Unfortunately, in the decisive handling phases, coach Nguyen Anh Duc's students failed.

In the 54th minute, Pedro continued to try his luck with a long-range shot. He tried to dribble the ball and then made a tricky left-footed shot, sending the ball just wide of the post. But this striker did not have to regret for too long. 4 minutes later, after Van Khang's accurate cross, Pedro headed the ball towards the far corner, causing goalkeeper Minh Toan to touch the ball but could not successfully block it, helping Viettel The Cong Club take a 1-0 lead.

Coach Kim Sang-sik has reason to be happy if he watches this match. Van Khang, captain of the U.23 Vietnam team, played well. In addition to the assists, the player born in 2003 had many breakthrough situations, quality crosses, contributing a lot to the playing style of The Cong Viettel Club. He still maintains impressive form after winning the 2025 U.23 Southeast Asian Championship. In the near future, Van Khang is expected to shine to help the U.23 Vietnam team win a ticket to the 2026 U.23 Asian Cup. Coach Popov also let him rest early so that he can join the team in good physical condition.

Back to the match, Pedro's goal made things easier for Viettel FC. In the 64th minute, the home team doubled the gap with a similar scenario. From the left wing, Tien Anh neatly crossed the ball for Bui Tien Dung to jump high and head the ball into the goal. In the remaining minutes, Viettel FC continued to dominate the game, but did not score any more goals.

In the end, Viettel The Cong Club won 2-0. With this result, they climbed to 3rd place with 7 points. Meanwhile, Becamex TP.HCM Club ranked 9th with 3 points.
