Some happy, some sad entering V-League break

NAM DINH CLUB IS TOO STRONG

The rain at Go Dau Stadium on the evening of November 20 added to the disappointment of Binh Duong fans as they watched their team lose 1-4 to Nam Dinh FC. Nguyen Xuan Son shone with a hat-trick in the 16th, 36th and 45+4th minutes, while Ly Cong Hoang Anh had an unbelievable solo goal past 4 Binh Duong FC players.

Xuan Son reaches peak performance

Ho Tan Tai scored an honorary goal in the 58th minute, but it was too little to appease the anger of the home team's fans. This season, Binh Duong Club aims to win the V-League, but in the important "6-point" match, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan left out three foreign players and saw his team completely outplayed by Nam Dinh Club, which was too strong with 4 foreign players on the field, even without conductor Hendrio in the squad.

The 4-1 victory helped the team from Thanh Nam extend their destructive form with their fourth consecutive win, scoring 14 goals and conceding only 2. With 19 points, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team are closely following the top team Thanh Hoa with 20 points after a narrow victory over the bottom team Da Nang.

VL EAGUE GROUP

Except for Binh Duong FC, who lost, the remaining big teams all triumphed in round 9, to accumulate joy and confidence for the upcoming break of more than 1 month. After the resounding 5-0 victory of The Cong Viettel FC over SLNA on November 19, yesterday afternoon Thanh Hoa FC had a narrow 1-0 victory over the bottom team Da Nang thanks to a penalty by Luiz Antonio in the 70th minute. This home win helped coach Velizar Popov and his team maintain the top spot in the table before entering the break.

At Ha Tinh Stadium, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team drew 1-1 with Ho Chi Minh City Club, continuing to maintain their unbeaten streak and a position in the top 5. In the latest match of round 9 at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi Police Club had a 2-0 victory over Binh Dinh Club to forget the unexpected loss to Ho Chi Minh City Club in the previous round.

With these results, the 2024-2025 V-League has been divided into groups. The Thanh Hoa - Nam Dinh Club duo is temporarily ahead, creating a gap of 4 - 5 points with the two teams right behind, The Cong Viettel and Ha Tinh (15 points). The slightly lower group has Hanoi Police Club, Hanoi (14 points) ranked 5th and 6th respectively. Meanwhile, the relegation race is still full of tension for the names in danger when Da Nang (4 points) and SLNA (5 points) have lost consecutively and have not known the taste of victory. Right above, Hai Phong and Quang Nam Clubs cannot rest assured, but at least they still have key strikers who can score goals like Lucas or Samson.

After 9 intense rounds, V-League 2024-2025 will take a break for more than 1 month for the Vietnamese team to gather from today (November 21) at VFF, before flying to Korea for training from November 23.

Ranking after round 9
