Nam Dinh Club cannot change its fate

On the afternoon of October 27, Nam Dinh had to work very hard to get 1 point against Da Nang in round 8 of V.League 2025/26 right at Thien Truong Stadium.

Nam Dinh lost to Da Nang in round 8 of V.League 2025/26.

Nam Dinh hosted Da Nang in a situation where the squad was seriously damaged. Coach Nguyen Trung Kien did not have many options when a series of key players such as Kyle Hudlin, Percy Tau, Romulo, Caio Cesar, Hong Duy and Tuan Anh were all absent.

Of these, Hudlin and Romulo are sick, the rest are either not in good shape or injured. The defending champion can only register two of the three foreign players, significantly reducing their strength.

The lack of personnel was quickly revealed right after the opening whistle. After only 14 minutes, Da Nang took the lead. After conceding the goal, Nam Dinh tried to push up their formation but seemed stuck in front of the visitors' disciplined defense. The lack of coordination made the Southern team's play disjointed and uncreative.

In the second half, Da Nang actively retreated to maintain their advantage. Nam Dinh's strikers controlled the ball more, but did not create clear opportunities. It was not until the 89th minute that the defending champions found a golden goal from Lucas Alves.

The match ended with a score of 1-1. With this draw, Nam Dinh was pushed down to 8th place with 8 points. Meanwhile, Da Nang with 6 points returned to 13th place and pushed HAGL to the bottom of the table.
