Cong an Ha Noi drew 0-0 with Kyoto Sanga at Hang Day on November 3 in the fourth round of the 2026/27 AFC Champions League Elite league phase, the VFF reported. Each side took a point, leaving the Vietnamese club with four from four matches.
Home pressure meets organised defence
Alexandre Polking's side sought possession and attacking pressure from the start. Their combinations brought them towards goal, but Kyoto defended in an organised shape and their goalkeeper made important saves.
Leo Artur, Nguyen Dinh Bac and Alan Grafite featured in the VFF account of the home side's attempts to break through. Continued pressure late in the game still failed to produce a goal.
Kyoto also threatened on the counterattack. Cong an Ha Noi maintained concentration defensively, ensuring that neither team could convert its opportunities.
Polking praises effort but regrets dropped points
After the match, Polking said he was proud of his players' performance and commitment until the end. He believed they deserved a better return for the chances created.
That is the coach's assessment; the official outcome remains a goalless draw and one point each. He also acknowledged the visiting goalkeeper's contribution and viewed the display against strong opposition as evidence of progress.
Cong an Ha Noi's next task is to improve their finishing while retaining protection against counters. Readers can follow Công an Hà Nội fixtures for upcoming commitments. Their current four points do not by themselves establish qualification.
