Hai Phong fans erupt in controversy after Lucao hat-trick for Ninh Binh

On the evening of September 5, Ninh Binh defeated hosts Hai Phong 4-1 at Lạch Tray Stadium in the opening round of the V-League 2026-2027. Notably, forward Lucas Vinicius, aka Lucao, scored a hat-trick against the club he played for in 2026-2026. Last season, after transferring to The Cong - Viettel, Lucao also scored a brace against Hai Phong in a 2-1 win at Lạch Tray. The Brazilian striker celebrated enthusiastically but faced little reaction from the CĐV. This time, as Lucao scored a hat-trick for Ninh Binh at Lạch Tray and celebrated, some Hai Phong fans expressed displeasure. The HPFC Capital fanpage wrote 'Raising a dog to see how loyal the dog is' after the match and has not deleted it. With only 7,800 followers, the post is not noteworthy, though it received some reactions on the page. But when shared on other football forums, it sparked huge controversy. Most agreed that criticizing Lucao this way is both negative, uncivilized, and ridiculous. Because simply, foreign players coming to Vietnam to play are to make money, and changing clubs is normal in professional football. 'Yes, the dog bites back three times and celebrates happily', a fan echoed. Bitter about a foreign player in V-League and talking about loyalty using harsh words, the admin of HPFC Capital received many reactions on the page. 'Naturally, it feels shameful for the people of Hai Phong because of this admin', another CĐV commented. Many others said not to criticize Lucao this way! 'Professional football must accept it. Even a player from Hai Phong playing for another team must play his best at Lạch Tray'. 'Watch civilized football. It's also a profession to earn money. Eat the fruit and fence the tree'. 'Football is hired work. Like going to work and getting paid. The boss doesn't raise us. It's like Lucao, whoever pays more, comes. Simple as that!'. 'If there's money to buy Lucao back to play, he goes to play football for money, what loyalty'. Vietnamese football is increasingly becoming professional. Hope the CĐV in general, and some in Hai Phong, need to behave more professionally. [Expanded with full 5-part structure: Hook with the match moment and fanpage post.
