Dong A Thanh Hoa excellently defeated Viettel in round 9 of V-League

Since coach Popov took over, Thanh Hoa football has flourished with a ball control style of play and effective proactive attacks. By skillfully deploying the 3-4-3 attacking formation, Dong A Thanh Hoa quickly switched from defense to attack, making the opponent struggle to defend and quickly taking the lead.

After conceding two goals from the away team, coach Popov realized that Viettel's attacking tactics relied heavily on Hoang Duc's individual skills and sharp vision, so he urged his players to block this "explosive" by pressing high. Pushing Viettel into a defensive position, Dong A Thanh Hoa easily finished off their opponents with their signature "air combat".

Winning at home, Dong A Thanh Hoa continued to extend their unbeaten streak from the beginning of the tournament to 9 matches, firmly holding the top spot in the V-League 2023 rankings with 21 points after 9 rounds. Meanwhile, the loss in round 9 caused Viettel to miss the chance to enter the top 6, temporarily ranking 8th with 11 points.
