On the evening of September 14th, a match took place at Ha Tinh Stadium between the home team Ha Tinh and Nam Dinh FC as part of Round 1 of the V-League 2024-2025. This was the first home game for the team from Hong Mountain in the new season.

The home team from Ha Tinh put in a valiant effort against the reigning champions , Nam Dinh.

This year, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team has undergone significant changes to its squad, parting ways with 10 players and 1 assistant coach. In return, the club has recruited 12 new players, including 8 domestic players, 3 foreign players, and one overseas Vietnamese player. Facing Nam Dinh in the first round will be a tough test for the Ha Tinh team right at the start of the new season.

As for the visiting team, with the mindset of champions and a squad featuring many national team players and quality foreign players, coach Vu Hong Viet's team is completely confident in aiming for a full three points.

Right after the opening whistle, the visiting team Nam Dinh, despite being considered much stronger, still faced many difficulties in building up play due to the quick pressing of the home team's players. Meanwhile, the home team Ha Tinh also showed they were not easily intimidated, engaging in counter-attacks.

In the 41st minute of the match, from a corner kick, the French-Vietnamese rookie player Adou Minh bravely jumped up and headed the ball into the net, giving Ha Tinh a 1-0 lead. This was also the final score of the match.

Vietnamese-French rookie player Adou Minh scored the winning goal for Ha Tinh team in their opening match of the new season.

Speaking after the match, coach Vu Hong Viet said that losing in the opening game made him very sad, but the head coach had no complaints about his players' performance.

"Despite the defeat, our players tried their best. They created many opportunities in the match but failed to score. Our team also made many inaccurate passes, which allowed the opponent to attack. In particular, the absence of Rafaelson significantly reduced our attacking power; his absence is a major loss for the team," said Mr. Viet.

The coach of Nam Dinh FC highly praised the quality of all three foreign players that Ha Tinh FC recently recruited for the new season.

As for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, he was very happy to have secured the first victory in the opening match of the new season.

"This is also the first victory our team has achieved in the opening match, as we have suffered defeats in previous seasons. I highly appreciate the spirit of the players in this match and their seriousness in training before the new season began," Mr. Cong happily stated.

According to Mr. Cong, the foreign players, who are new recruits to the team, have integrated very well, which is fortunate for the club. In particular, the Ha Tinh coach highly praised the excellent spirit of the overseas Vietnamese player Adou Minh.

"What I value most about this player is his very proactive attitude and extremely hard-working performance. He is one of the few foreign players currently playing in the V-League who adapts quickly," Mr. Cong revealed.

Assessing their opponent, Mr. Cong believes that Nam Dinh is still a strong team with a very good playing style, so even if they are missing some players, they are still very strong.
