Van Quyet targeting historic treble

Hanoi: Nguyen Van Quyet has admitted that Hanoi FC are aiming to end the season with three trophies as the Vietnamese side prepare to take on DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC in the first leg of the 2019 AFC Cup Inter-Zone Final on Wednesday. 

Hanoi were crowned V.League champions last Thursday and they are just two games away from the AFC Cup Final, while the capital city club will face Ho Chi Minh City FC in the Vietnamese Cup semi-finals in late October. 

Their first task will be to overcome 4.25, with the first meeting to take place at Hang Day Stadium ahead of a potentially tricky reverse fixture in Pyongyang, where their opponents boast a 100 percent record in the 2019 campaign.
