The highlight match at Hang Day ended with a 4-2 victory for Hanoi Police, in a match where Alan shone brightly while Hanoi FC made things difficult for themselves with many defensive mistakes.

Right from the first minutes, Hanoi Police played much better. The police team played aggressively, launched many dangerous shots and soon opened the score thanks to Leo Artur's accurate shot after Thanh Chung's foul. The first half ended with the game completely tilted towards Hanoi Police when they created 7 shots compared to only 1 shot by Hanoi.

In the second half, Hanoi FC pushed up their formation to find an equalizer. The Japanese coach also brought Van Quyet onto the field to salvage the situation. However, this risk became a double-edged sword for the capital team. The defense left too many gaps, while Thanh Chung made consecutive mistakes. Alan took full advantage of the opportunity, scoring three goals in a row, including two situations coming from Hanoi's central defenders' mistakes to help Hanoi Police lead 4-0.

After the gap widened, Hanoi Police proactively slowed down the pace. At this time, Hanoi rose up and got two goals to shorten the gap thanks to Daniel Passira and Dinh Hai. However, that was not enough to turn the situation around.

In the end, Hanoi Police won 4-2 against Hanoi FC. Alan was the brightest star with an impressive hat-trick, while Thanh Chung had a day to forget when he directly contributed to all three of the home team's first goals.

With this result, Hanoi Police continued to maintain the 2nd position on the rankings, creating a gap of 2 points with the leading team Ninh Binh . Meanwhile, Hanoi officially fell into a serious crisis as it still could not escape the bottom group.
