HAGL vs Nam Dinh performance
After more than 2 months since the start of V.League 2025/26, HAGL finally found their first victory. It was quite surprising that the defeated team under coach Le Quang Trai and his team was not a direct competitor at the bottom of the table, but a strong candidate in the championship race.
Welcoming The Cong, HAGL took the initiative to play with their familiar defensive style. In the 25th minute, center-back Filho Jairo took advantage of a set piece to open the scoring for the home team with an impressive aerial performance. The first goal further helped the team from the mountain town to develop the game as they wished.
Despite facing a lot of pressure from the opposite field, the home team Pleiku still stood firm, before launching the decisive "punch" in the middle of the second half. The 2-1 victory could not help HAGL escape the bottom position, but the gap between the team under coach Le Quang Trai and the 7th place held by Ha Tinh was only 3 points, and they still had a make-up match with CAHN.
In fact, the signs of improvement have been sent by HAGL for over a month, starting with the 2-0 victory at Thanh Hoa Stadium in the National Cup. In the last 5 appearances, the team from the Mountain City has only lost 1, drawn 2 and won 2.
The recent defeat of The Cong will certainly become a very strong mental medicine, adding confidence to Ryan Ha and his teammates before the upcoming difficult journey, most recently welcoming defending champion Nam Dinh on the last day of October.
Nam Dinh started this season with great enthusiasm. The ambition to conquer both domestic and regional arenas and continents of the Southern team is clearly shown through the bustling transfer deals, making them the collective with the most expensive squad in V.League.
But instead of rising, Nam Dinh quickly showed an unstable face. The 1-2 defeat at SLNA in the second round is a typical example. From the fourth round, Nam Dinh began a journey of rapid decline. In the last 5 appearances at V.League, the home team at Thien Truong Stadium did not win, only drew 2 and lost 3.
In the last 3 rounds, although playing at home, Van Vi and his teammates only earned 1 point. The 1-2 defeat in the reception of Becamex TP.HCM became the last straw, causing coach Vu Hong Viet to decide to resign. Despite a temporary change of coach, Nam Dinh still cannot improve.
In addition to the injury problem that took away many key players, the poor performance of the strikers on the front line is also considered an important reason for Nam Dinh to lose themselves. Striker Brenner received a lot of expectations after impressively replacing the position left by Xuan Son last season, but now suddenly became harmless, still without a single goal after 8 matches.
