We’re confident we can win the title, says Won Song

Hanoi: Won Song has insisted that DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC are confident they can be crowned 2019 AFC Cup champions as they get set to face Vietnam’s Hanoi FC in the first leg of the Inter-Zone Final at Hang Day Stadium on Wednesday. 

The Pyongyang club are taking part in the tournament for the third successive year, having reached the Inter-Zone semi-finals in 2017 and the Inter-Zone Final last year, when they were eliminated on away goals by Turkmenistan’s Altyn Asyr.

But 4.25 returned to once again advance to the knockout rounds and then defeated Bangladesh’s Abahani Limited Dhaka in the previous stage to line up a clash with ASEAN Zonal champions Hanoi.

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.
