Doan Van Hau receives unfortunate news after a tense match

Doan Van Hau receives his third yellow card and will be suspended in round 19 of V-League, causing Hanoi Police Club to face a significant loss.

After round 18 of V-League 2025/2026, Doan Van Hau unexpectedly receives unpleasant news that he will be suspended in the next round. This is a considerable loss for Hanoi Police Club as the championship race enters a tense phase.

On the evening of April 12, Hanoi Police Club traveled to face PVF-CAND in round 18 of V-League. Despite controlling the game better and creating many dangerous situations, the team under coach Mano Polking still could not secure all 3 points as they were held to a 1-1 draw by the opponent's disciplined defensive play.

In this match, Van Hau continued to be trusted as a starter in the role of left-sided center-back. The 1999-born player played energetically, actively participating in both defense and supporting ball distribution from the backline. However, his efforts were insufficient to help his team create a difference in the stalemate.

A notable turning point occurred in the 39th minute, when Van Hau received a yellow card after fouling an opponent. This is his third yellow card since the start of the season, meaning this defender will be suspended in round 19, where Hanoi Police Club faces Ho Chi Minh City Police. This absence significantly affects the team's left flank.

In reality, after a long period struggling with injury, Van Hau has returned strongly and quickly reaffirmed his role as a key player. In the last 8 V-League matches, he has started and played the full game. Statistics such as a 57% duel success rate or a 74% aerial duel success rate demonstrate his stability and effectiveness in the defensive system.

Additionally, Van Hau contributes an average of 1.4 crucial clearance actions and 8.4 ball recoveries per match – figures that clearly reflect his influence. The absence of the 1999-born defender in the upcoming round will pose a difficult problem for coach Polking, forcing Hanoi Police Club to find a suitable replacement if they do not want to lose momentum in the championship race.
