On the evening of November 9, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club drew 1-1 with Thanh Hoa at Pleiku Stadium in round 11 of V-League 2025-2026.
The equalizer was scored by center back Dinh Quang Kiet in the 90+10 minute, helping the mountain town team regain a valuable point after Thanh Hoa Club scored the opening goal in the 45th minute.
Because this is a match that both teams cannot lose when they are at the bottom of the table and must strive to avoid relegation.
As soon as his student scored, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh crawled on the field for a while before being pulled up by his assistant to celebrate. This rather strange image of Mr. Thanh celebrating surprised viewers and caused a stir on social networks.
Sharing after the match, Mr. Vu Tien Thanh said that the celebration was due to a "promise" he made to his student. "I often criticize Quang Kiet for not knowing how to score. If he scores, I will crawl all over the field," he shared.

With this result, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Thanh Hoa and PVF-CAND clubs have 8 points each, settling in the bottom group. All 3 teams are 1 point ahead of the bottom teamSHB Da Nang.
However, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Thanh Hoa clubs have only played 10 matches and can completely improve their positions on the rankings.
Dinh Quang Kiet is only 18 years old but is already 1m95 tall. After midfielder Pham Ly Duc joined the Hanoi Police Club, Quang Kiet was used continuously by coach Le Quang Trai in the first 10 matches of the season for Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club, alongside foreign midfielder Jairo Rodrigues.
After this match, Quang Kiet joined the Vietnam U22 team to participate in the CFA Panda Cup 2025 International U22 Friendly Tournament in China and prepare for the 33rd SEA Games next month in Thailand.
Speaking after the match, coach Le Quang Trai praised Quang Kiet. He said: "Dinh Quang Kiet's recent goal can be considered the result of our working sessions.
I told Quang Kiet to make full use of his body and exploit the spaces on the field. I hope that Quang Kiet will continue to develop his abilities to contribute well to the upcoming U22 Vietnam team."
