Ninh Binh Defeats Hai Phong 4-1 at Lach Tray, Lucas Vinicius Scores Hat-trick and the Storm of HPFC Capital Fanpage

In the context of the match on October 5, 2026, Ninh Binh defeated their hosts Hai Phong 4-1 at Lach Tray Stadium in the opening round of the 2026-2027 V-League. The standout performer was Brazilian striker Lucas Vinicius, known as Lucao, who scored a hat-trick against the club he previously played for Hai Phong from 2026 to 2026. Last season, upon joining The Cong - Viettel, Lucao also scored a brace in a 2-1 win at Lach Tray. The Brazilian celebrated exuberantly after scoring but received no significant backlash from the crowd. This time, as Lucao scored his hat-trick for Ninh Binh at Lach Tray and celebrated, a segment of Hai Phong fans expressed dissatisfaction. "Raising a dog to see if the dog is loyal," the HPFC Capital fanpage posted after the match, and it remains unedited to this day. With only 7,800 followers, the post's lack of civility is not noteworthy, though it garnered some reactions on the page itself. However, when screenshots were shared across other football forums, it sparked a major controversy. The majority argue that criticizing Lucao in this manner is both negative and uncivilized, and even ridiculous, because foreign players in Vietnam are there to earn money, and changing clubs is normal in professional football. "Yes, the dog bit back three times but celebrated happily," a fan echoed the post. Bitter about an foreign player in the V-League commenting on loyalty with harsh words, the admin of HPFC Capital received numerous reactions on the page. "Naturally, it feels shameful for Hai Phong to have such an admin," another fan commented. "This page does not represent Hai Phong fans," a different one added. Many comments suggested not to criticize Lucao like this! "Professional football requires acceptance. Even a player from Hai Phong playing for another team must give everything back at Lach Tray." "Please watch civilized football. It's also a profession to earn money. Eat the grass where you are." "Football is a job for salary. Just like working for a salary. The owner doesn't raise you. I'm like it (Lucao), whoever pays more, I go. It's simple!" "If there's money to buy Lucao back to play, he plays football to earn money, what loyalty?" Vietnamese football is increasingly becoming professional. We hope Vietnamese fans in general, and some Hai Phong fans mentioned above, also need to behave more professionally.
