The big match between Nam Dinh Club and CAHN Club is one of the two latest matches of round 5 of V-League 2024 - 2025. This is considered the highlight match when the two teams own many top stars in Vietnam at the moment.
In addition to playing at home at Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh FC is also in good form. In the last 6 matches, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team are undefeated. With a 4-1 victory over SLNA in the late match of round 4 (October 19), Nam Dinh FC is now only 3 points behind the top position held by Thanh Hoa. With just one win, Nam Dinh FC will level the score with Thanh Hoa, making the race for the top group more exciting.
Meanwhile, CAHN Club is not in good form. Only 5 points/4 matches, along with 8th place in V-League is clearly not a result that makes coach Polking and his team satisfied. Although rookie Alan returns, playing the highest position in the attack, experts say that CAHN Club will face many difficulties against Nam Dinh.

Along with Nam Dinh's unbeaten streak, naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son (formerly known as Rafaelson) has gradually regained his form, scoring 3 goals in the last 2 matches. The 27-year-old continues to be trusted by coach Vu Hong Viet, playing highest up front. In the first half, Nam Dinh Club proactively passed the ball to Nguyen Xuan Son, taking advantage of his speed and ability to create a good wall. In addition, striker Hendrio played an important role in the midfield, moving widely to create connections in Nam Dinh Club's attack. However, coach Vu Hong Viet's team was stuck in getting the ball into CAHN Club's penalty area, without any notable shots.
On the other side of the front line, Coach Polking proactively let CAHN Club play defensive counter-attacks, waiting for Nam Dinh Club to make a mistake. In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Phan Van Duc was the most outstanding player on the visitors' attack line with 2 dangerous shots. In the 12th minute, Van Thanh broke through from the center, passing the ball to Phan Van Duc. Unfortunately, in an open position, this player shot the ball into the post. In the 30th minute, Phan Van Duc continued to retreat to the center, kicked from a distance of about 25 meters, sending the ball right into the position of goalkeeper Nguyen Manh.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, Nam Dinh FC increased the pace of attack, making the match more interesting to watch. In the 35th minute, the team from Thanh Nam had a quick attack, Nguyen Xuan Son was given a chance but his shot hit the crossbar. Two minutes later, Nam Dinh FC attacked on the right wing, Ly Cong Hoang Anh fired a powerful left-footed shot, defeating goalkeeper Nguyen Filip. However, the referee quickly consulted VAR and denied the goal because he thought Nguyen Xuan Son had fouled Thanh Long before passing the ball to Ly Cong Hoang Anh.
Having many opportunities but unable to score, Nam Dinh Club had to pay the price with a goal in the first half's injury time. Van Thanh was the player who brought joy to the away team with an accurate shot past goalkeeper Nguyen Manh.

It seemed that the half-time break would help Nam Dinh FC regain their spirit and play better, but the opposite happened. The haste to raise the squad to find an equalizer caused Nam Dinh FC to receive 2 consecutive goals from CAHN FC. In the 48th minute, Van Thanh crossed very well for Leo Artur to tap the ball into the net, raising the score to 2-0 for CAHN FC. In the 61st minute, Alan proved his worth on his return with an easy kick in the penalty area of Nam Dinh FC, raising the score to 3-0.
Notably, in all 3 goals against Nam Dinh Club, CAHN Club's midfield contributed greatly. Although they did not directly score, the midfield of the police team with Quang Hai as the conductor played calmly and coordinated the ball effectively. This was completely different from the hasty midfield of Nam Dinh Club, helping Coach Polking's team have favorable results at Thien Truong Stadium.

In the last 30 minutes of the match (including extra time), Nam Dinh FC tried to attack to find a goal. Coach Vu Hong Viet's team had a few chances but was impatient and lacked precision in finishing situations. In the 82nd minute, Hoang Van Toan of CAHN FC received a red card, Nam Dinh FC played with one more player but still could not find a goal, accepting a 0-3 loss.
With a 0-3 defeat at Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh FC broke its 6-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. The team from Thanh Nam currently has 7 points after 5 matches, ranking 8th in V-League 2024 - 2025. Meanwhile, CAHN FC has 8 points, rising to 5th place.
