Ninh Binh won Thanh Hoa by a large margin, former assistant coach Kim Sang-sik could only sigh with regret!

On the evening of August 23, Ninh Binh Club dominated and convincingly won against Thanh Hoa team with a score of 4-0 in round 2 of V-League 2025-2026.

Ninh Binh Club makes a difference thanks to foreign players

Thanks to the superior squad quality and home field advantage, Ninh Binh FC easily created a dominant game. With Hoang Duc and Duc Chien in midfield, the ancient capital team held the ball up to 65%, creating 11 shots towards Thanh Hoa FC's goal in the first 45 minutes. However, the home fans had to wait quite a while to celebrate as coach Choi Won-kwon's team defended relatively well and goalkeeper Y Eli Nie played impressively.

It wasn’t until the 31st minute that Ninh Binh FC opened the scoring. Mach Ngoc Ha’s difficult cross made Thanh Hoa’s defense confused. The ball then bounced right to Dos Anjos and the striker finished decisively to help the home team take the lead.

In the 45+2 minute, the two foreign players of Ninh Binh Club showed their worth. Dos Anjos cleverly dropped the ball down the right wing for Henrique to run down. Although striker number 68 was facing two defenders of the away team, he still accelerated strongly to skillfully finish from a narrow angle, raising the score to 2-0.

Thanh Hoa Club's efforts failed

In the second half, Thanh Hoa FC started to attack more strongly in search of an equalizer. The ball was mainly deployed to the left wing, where U.23 Vietnam player Nguyen Ngoc My was quite active. On the opposite wing, Le Van Thuan, the best young player of V-League 2024-2025, also actively broke through every time he had the ball.

But before they could score to reduce the gap, Thanh Hoa FC conceded a third goal in the 64th minute. Abdurakhmanov's careless pass back accidentally became a favorable through ball for Henrique and this striker did not miss the opportunity to score a double for himself. In the 71st minute, it was Dos Anjos' turn to complete his double with a close-range tap-in, originating from a favorable pass from Chau Ngoc Quang.

When they were down 0-4, Coach Choi Won-kwon, former assistant of Coach Kim Sang-sik, sent two domestic strikers, Le Van Thang and Vo Nguyen Hoang, onto the field to improve the attack. They managed to shake the opponent's net once after Rimario's good play. However, the goal was not recognized because Doan Ngoc Tan had fouled Duc Chien in the previous dispute.

With this result, Ninh Binh Club temporarily rose to the top of the rankings with 6 points. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa Club still has not known victory, only has 1 point and dropped to the bottom of the table.
