Công an Hà Nội
Công an Hà Nội staged a commanding comeback to defeat Đông Á Thanh Hoá 3-1, overturning an early deficit with clinical second-half finishing. After Damoth Thongkhamsavath gave the hosts a first-half lead, Alan Grafite emerged as the match-winner with a penalty equalizer and a decisive second goal, while Đoàn Văn Hậu's strike proved crucial in the turnaround. The visitors' superior quality showed as they dominated proceedings after the break, with the match becoming increasingly fractious as Thanh Hoá's frustrations boiled over - culminating in substitute Vitão's dismissal immediately after entering the fray. This vital away victory strengthens Hà Nội's position in what appears to be a competitive title race, while Thanh Hoá will rue their inability to build on a promising start.
