Despite having the home advantage of Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is still considered inferior to Ninh Binh FC in terms of squad quality. Coach Le Huynh Duc's team conceded a goal after only 5 minutes of match day 11 of V-League 2025-2026.

Conceding an early goal, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club "crazily" pushed up their formation to attack Ninh Binh FC. Not only did they press high effectively, the home team also showed diversity in their attacking tactics.

In the 10th minute, Vo Huu Viet Hoang scored to level the score, before his Vietnamese-American teammate Lee Williams scored to help the home team take the lead. As if "doused with cold water", Hoang Duc and his teammates were afraid of the opponent's attacks.

At the end of the first half, the defense made a mistake that caused Ninh Binh to receive 3 goals in a match for the first time this season. However, a few seconds later, Hoang Duc's superior class quickly showed with a header to shorten the score to 2-3 for the team of the ancient capital Hoa Lu.

In the second half, changes in personnel and tactics changed the game situation. Ninh Binh FC took control of the game and foreign player Rodrigues Gustavo Henrique shone with the equalizer 3-3 in the 47th minute.

In the remaining time of the match, coach Le Huynh Duc's team lost their stamina and gradually concentrated on defending to preserve the score. But an own goal by defender Quang Hung in the 89th minute ruined the plan of the Thong Nhat Stadium team.

Despite losing to Ninh Binh FC with a score of 3-4, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is the first team to make goalkeeper Dang Van Lam pick the ball out of the net 3 times in a match in the V-League this season. This result helps Ninh Binh solidify its lead with 27 points, while Ho Chi Minh City Police lost the chance to return to the top 3, currently ranked 5th with 17 points.
