At home, Thanh Hoa Club welcomes The Cong - Viettel in round 9 of V-League 2025 - 2026.

The much-anticipated reunion between the Thanh Hoa team and coach Velizar Popov did not go as expected, as the two teams understood each other too well and the match was only resolved by a moment of individual brilliance.

In the 31st minute, Dinh Viet Tu scored a masterpiece when he controlled the ball with his chest and then swung his leg to shoot from afar, sending the ball down with a beautiful trajectory, defeating goalkeeper Trinh Xuan Hoang, opening the score 1-0.

As a former Thanh Hoa player, Viet Tu did not celebrate after scoring. This was the only goal of the match, helping The Cong - Viettel win 3 points.

During the remaining time of the match, despite Thanh Hoa's efforts, they were not successful in scoring an equalizer.

The defeat caused Thanh Hoa FC to drop to the second-to-last position in the rankings (13th out of 14 teams). After the incident of Chairman Cao Tien Doan being arrested, the team under the leadership of Coach Choi Won Kwon encountered many financial difficulties leading to poor results.

As for The Cong - Viettel, this victory helped coach Popov's team rise to 3rd place in the rankings and continue the championship race.

After the match, defender Dinh Viet Tu shared: "We played with great determination to keep up with the teams above in the championship race. Playing against Thanh Hoa was very difficult, but we encouraged each other to complete the goal of 3 points."

Talking about the world- class masterpiece, Viet Tu modestly said: "At that time, I didn't think about anything. After controlling the ball, it bounced in front of me and I just swung my leg to kick. That goal was 50% luck and 50% my technique."

"Ninh Binh plays very well and is undefeated. However, we still have a chance. The road ahead is very long," Viet Tu said about the chances of The Cong - Viettel team.
