Harry Kewell causes Nam Dinh to prolong its crisis

The 1-1 draw with Hanoi in round 11 of V.League 2025/26 took place on the afternoon of November 10 at Thien Truong Stadium, causing Nam Dinh to prolong their crisis with 7 matches of draws and losses.

Nam Dinh went through a series of 7 matches without a win.

Nam Dinh started quite well when Lucas Alves took advantage of Dau Van Toan's mistake to open the score in the 7th minute. The early goal brought excitement to the team from Thanh Nam. However, the joy only lasted for more than 20 minutes. In the 31st minute, Hanoi concretized their advantage with a classy volley from Xuan Manh after a delicate pass from Hung Dung, bringing the match back to balance.

After the visitors' equalizer, Nam Dinh lost control of the game. Defensive mistakes and lack of connection in the midfield forced the team from the South to switch to a defensive counter-attacking style. On the contrary, Hanoi under coach Harry Kewell showed a coherent, well-coordinated style of play with more attacking ideas.

The second half was a balanced game but no more goals were scored. With a 1-1 draw, Nam Dinh continued their winless streak, bringing the number to 7 consecutive matches of draws and losses.

A series of poor performances pushed Nam Dinh down to 10th place on the rankings with only 10 points after 11 rounds, prolonging the crisis of confidence and making fans worried about the future. Meanwhile, Hanoi maintained 7th place with 15 points, but has not found absolute stability.

A series of winless matches under psychological pressure and a deadlock in playing style shows that Nam Dinh is entering the most difficult period of the season. The problem of improving attacking efficiency and spirit has become an urgent requirement if the team wants to escape the crisis.
