HANOI (24 June 2014) – A special guest at the behest of the Vietnam Professional Football (VPF) was in attendance at the Lach Tray Stadium on the weekend as wheelchair bound Do Ha Cu witnessed his first ever V-League match when Vicem Hai Phong entertained Song Lam Nghe An.
Ha Cu is a victim of chemical warfare agent Orange from the 70s where despite being able to move only one finger, he taught himself words, writing poems everyday and also does web surfing.
Ha Cu has a passionate love for Vietnam football and where it prompted him to write to the VPF.
“I am a fan of the sport of kings. But I am fully paralysed and have never been to a stadium to watch a live match. I have a dream in my life which is to be at a stadium to either watch a final or a national cup match. Then I will spend the rest of my life in retrospect. Looking forward to making this dream a reality. “
In turn, the VPF then arranged a special assistance to bring Ha Cu to the Lach Tray Stadium to watch a V-League match, in which the home team fell to a 5-2 loss to Song Lam Nghe An.
In other V-League matches, Hung Vuong An Giang surprisingly overcame QNK Quang Nam 5-3 as Dong Tam Long An fell to a 4-1 loss to SHB Da Nang.
Defending champions are close to picking up their second crown in two years after demolishing Quang Ninh Coal 6-4, as second-placed Becamex Binh Duong were held to a 3-3 draw by Dong Nai.
