CAHN Football Club achieved a final 1-0 win against Ho Chi Minh City Police in a game where they had to play with one less player.

The police sector derby between CAHN and Ho Chi Minh City Police in round 8 of the 2025/26 V-League ended with a 1-0 win for the home side in a game full of paradoxes. Although CAHN played most of the match with one less player, they were more effective, while Ho Chi Minh City Police disappointed heavily despite having a numerical advantage.

From the start, the visiting team began energetically, controlling possession and creating multiple chances. Williams Lee, Makrillos, and Tiến Linh continuously troubled the home defense, but their final shots lacked accuracy.

At the 20th minute, the turning point came when CAHN striker Lê Văn Đô received a direct red card for a violent elbowing action. It seemed this would give the visitors a chance to gain the upper hand, but surprisingly, just 15 minutes later, Alan capitalized on a defensive error by Ho Chi Minh City Police to score the opening goal for CAHN. Despite being a player down, coach Polking’s team maintained a tight formation, defended smartly, and made good use of counterattacks.

Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Police grew increasingly frustrated. Their inability to organize counterattacks and lack of cohesion between lines meant they barely created any clear chances in the second half. Both their offense and defense underperformed, with Tiến Linh continuing to disappoint by missing a close-range header in the final moments.

With this 1-0 victory, CAHN moved up to second place with 17 points, just 3 points behind league leaders Ninh Bình. Conversely, the defeat exposed many weaknesses in Ho Chi Minh City Police’s attack and defense.
