Hanoi Police Club lost 1-2 to Hanoi FC in round 15 of V.League 2025/26, thereby ending their 13-match unbeaten run and missing the chance to reach the best-ever start record in the league's history.
Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) suffered a 1-2 defeat against Hanoi FCin round 15 of V.League 2025/26, officially ending their 13-match unbeaten streak since the start of the season. The loss in the capital derby not only cost the police department's team their impressive form streak but also made them miss the opportunity to set another memorable milestone in the league's history.
Before round 15, CAHN had a nearly perfect start with 35 points after 13 matches (11 wins, 2 draws), a performance that allowed them to equal the best-ever start record in V.League history set by Hanoi FC in the 2018 season. With stable form and a fairly safe point gap from the chasing group, the team under coach Mano Polking was expected to continue extending their impressive streak.
Just one more point would have officially allowed CAHN to surpass the milestone of 36 points after 14 matches – the best performance ever recorded in the early stage of V.League. However, the defeat to Hanoi FC caused the police department's team to miss this record-breaking opportunity, while also closing their unbeaten streak that lasted from the start of the season.
Nevertheless, the achievement of 35 points after 14 rounds still demonstrates CAHN's considerable stability under coach Mano Polking. The team maintains a fast-paced, energetic attacking style and possesses many individuals capable of creating breakthroughs, helping them hold the top position in the standings for most of the season.
After round 15, CAHN still holds the top spot with 35 points, but the gap to the second-placed team, Viettel, has been narrowed to 4 points. Additionally, Nam Dinh Steel's victory over PVF-CAND keeps the chasing group close, making the race for the V.League 2025/26 title more intense.
Speaking after the match, coach Mano Polking admitted he was displeased that his team's unbeaten streak was halted. However, the Brazilian strategist believed the players gave their full effort and CAHN needs to quickly regain focus to continue maintaining their advantage in the title race.
