Nha Trang Dolphins Club has its first victory

On the evening of June 16, at Cau Giay Stadium (Hanoi), the 7th match of VBA 2023 took place between two teams that have yet to taste victory, Nha Trang Dolphins and Cantho Catfish.

The determination to find the first victory was shown by both teams from the beginning when they proactively pushed the match's tempo to be fast, intense but also very effective. Thanks to that, fans witnessed an exciting score chase.

Cantho Catfish Club has a "fresh" style of play with the appearance of Le Ngoc Tu alongside veteran pitcher To Quang Trung. These two domestic players played impressively, achieving good scoring efficiency to compensate for foreign player DeAngelo Hamilton's underperformance.

Meanwhile, Nha Trang Dolphins Club had the rise of Madarious Gibbs when he continuously scored for the team from the coastal city. In addition, Dominique Tham and Robert Sampson also showed their key roles.
