Nam Dinh continued to show impressive form when they had a big 4-2 victory in their away match at Hong Linh Ha Tinh in round 4 of V-League 2023/24.
This is also the 5th consecutive victory that Nam Dinh has achieved this season, including 4 wins in V-League and 1 in the National Cup.
This result helped coach Vu Hong Viet's team get 12 absolute points, continuing to stand firmly at the top of the V-League rankings, 4 points more than the 2nd ranked team Thanh Hoa.
On the other side of the front line, Hong Linh Ha Tinh has only won 2 points after 4 rounds, standing second to last in the rankings.
The match was exciting with a score chase. Nam Dinh was the team that got the advantage first with Rafaelson's opening goal in the 14th minute.
After conceding the goal, the home team players proactively played high, put pressure and their efforts were rewarded with Tran Dinh Tien's equalizer 1-1 in the 29th minute.
But right before the first half ended, the away team Nam Dinh took the lead 2-1 after Rafaelson headed the ball into the goal from close range.
Right at the beginning of the second half, Hong Linh Ha Tinh was awarded a penalty after Thanh Hoa was illegally blocked. After two penalty kicks, Diallo did not miss the opportunity to score the equalizer 2-2 in the 49th minute and brought hope to help the home team have their first victory.
However, that hope of Hong Linh Ha Tinh quickly faded when Hendrio passed the ball inside for Van Toan to score, putting Nam Dinh ahead 3-2.
Not stopping there, in the 76th minute, from a quick counter-attack, Hendrio crossed the ball for Hong Duy to score, sealing a 4-2 victory for Nam Dinh.
In the same situation as Hong Linh Ha Tinh, LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai continued to disappoint when they only managed a 1-1 draw in their home match against Becamex Binh Duong.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai had a surprising start with Le Van Son opening the scoring in the 2nd minute. However, they could not preserve the result when Janclesio equalized in the 27th minute.
With this result, Hoang Anh Gia Lai also has 2 points like Hong Linh Ha Tinh but sadly stands at the bottom of the rankings due to an inferior goal difference.
Meanwhile, with 7 points after 4 rounds, Becamex Binh Duong has temporarily risen to 5th place on the V-League rankings this season.
Also in the afternoon match on the evening of December 3, The Cong-Viettel suffered a 0-2 defeat on the field of Ho Chi Minh City Club.
Cheick Timité became the hero of Ho Chi Minh City FC when he scored both goals against The Cong-Viettel to bring victory to his team.
This result helped Ho Chi Minh City Club rise to 4th place in V-League this season with 7 points, while The Cong-Viettel ranked 7th with 5 points.
In the match at the same time, Binh Dinh won all 3 points in their away match at Hanoi FC's field with a 1-0 victory thanks to Alan's goal.
With this victory, Binh Dinh also has 7 points after 4 rounds but only has to stand in 6th place due to being inferior to Ho Chi Minh City Club and Becamex Binh Duong in terms of secondary index.
As for Hanoi FC, this is also the third defeat they have suffered in the V-League this season. This result caused Hanoi FC to fall to 10th place with only 3 points.
Previously, on the afternoon of December 2, Song Lam Nghe An and Quang Nam drew in a match with 8 goals scored, divided equally between both teams.
Olaha (hat-trick) and Sy Hoang were the scorers for Song Lam Nghe An, while Quang Nam's goals belonged to Eze Stephen (double), Dinh Bac and Yago respectively.
Having lost the unfortunate victory, Song Lam Nghe An has only 3 points, ranking 9th on the rankings. Meanwhile, Quang Nam has 2 points after 4 rounds, ranking above Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Hoang Anh Gia Lai thanks to the additional index.
In the remaining match, Khanh Hoa lost 0-2 to Thanh Hoa at home.
