Hanoi police secure V-League title three rounds early

Hanoi Police battled to a 2-0 victory over Thanh Hoa in round 23 tonight, clinching the V-League 2025-2026 championship ahead of schedule.

Hanoi Police (CAHN) entered round 23 with the sole goal of defeating Thanh Hoa. A victory would put coach Mano Polking's team 11 points ahead of second-place The Cong, with only three rounds remaining in the season.

Despite the absence of coach Polking due to suspension, CAHN dominated possession and displayed strong teamwork. However, Thanh Hoa's fierce resistance and heavy rain at Hang Day Stadium made securing the win a struggle.
