On the opening night of V-League 2026-2027, CAHN secured a 2-0 victory over Ha Tinh, but the scoreline was an illusion. Ha Tinh pressed relentlessly, created more clear-cut chances, and had a 37th-minute goal disallowed by VAR. CAHN relied on a controversial referee decision and a late double from substitute Alan Grafite. Captain Bui Hoang Viet Anh admitted the difficulty, but this win hides underlying problems. With a visit to The Cong in five days, and trip to Japan for the AFC Champions League Elite immediately after, their fragile tactics and dependence on luck will be severely tested. Ha Tinh lost, but they proved they belong in this league.
