Hanoi team is closing in on their unbeaten record.

Ha Tinh Club's unbeaten streak

The 0-0 draw with Hanoi Police FC on the evening of February 10th helped Ha Tinh FC extend their unbeaten streak in the V-League 2024-2025 to 12 matches. The Central Vietnam representative is also the last team in this season that has yet to taste defeat.

After 12 matches, Ha Tinh FC has won 3, drawn 9, accumulated 18 points, and is currently in the top 5. This is a significant improvement compared to last season, when coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team had to play in the play-offs to secure their place in the V-League.

Ha Tinh FC (in red jerseys) is just one match away from breaking their unbeaten record.

Looking at the bigger picture, Ha Tinh FC has only lost 1 of their last 17 V-League matches. Luong Xuan Truong and his teammates are nicknamed the "kings of draws," with 12 draws in 17 matches played over the past 9 months. The last time Ha Tinh FC lost was on June 20, 2024, when coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team lost 0-1 at Thien Truong Stadium to Nam Dinh FC.

With just one more win or draw in Round 13 (away against Binh Duong FC), Ha Tinh FC will become the first team in seven years to remain undefeated throughout the first half of the season. The last team in the V-League to achieve this was Hanoi FC in 2018. The difference is that Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team won 11 and drew 2 out of 13 matches, becoming the absolute champions of the first half of the season with a 9-point lead over the second-placed team. Ha Tinh FC, on the other hand, had three times as many draws as wins.

The Ha Tinh team deserves praise.

However, this result is commendable for the Ha Tinh team, which is only considered to be at the mid-level of the V-League.

The match against CAHN FC on the evening of February 10th showcased the strength of the Central Vietnam representative. Despite having fewer star players and being considered the underdog, the home team Ha Tinh dominated the game, creating numerous scoring opportunities. Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip had to make five crucial saves to ensure CAHN FC kept a clean sheet.

Ha Tinh FC not only plays effective counter-attacking football, but also attacks systematically with clear tactics. The weakness of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team is the lack of a quality striker. Perhaps that's why Ha Tinh has only scored 11 goals in 12 matches, the fewest among the top 8 teams.

However, to compensate, Ha Tinh FC boasts a solid defense, having conceded only 7 goals (the fewest in the league). This makes every goal they score incredibly valuable.

Once jokingly nicknamed the "Ha Tinh Club" due to their excessive draws in the V-League, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his players are making steady progress. With a 9-point lead over the relegation zone, Ha Tinh Club is well-positioned to secure their survival in the league this season, paving the way for further goals.
