Tien Linh and Hoang Duc are "inseparable"

Ho Chi Minh City Police Club could not get all 3 points on the day Tien Linh had to work at full capacity, taking on the additional task of closely guarding "conductor" Hoang Duc of Ninh Binh Club.

The reigning Vietnam Golden Ball winner Tien Linh (in white shirt) followed Hoang Duc closely despite his role as a striker, taking on the task of scoring for the HCM City Police Club. An interesting confrontation between the two players, who are also the captains of Ninh Binh Club and HCM City Police Club.

To serve the home team's playing style, Tien Linh did not hesitate to take on the additional task of blocking "conductor" Hoang Duc of Ninh Binh. The two were "inseparable" in the midfield area.

Perhaps because he had to support the defense, Tien Linh played quite poorly in this match, missing at least 2 "delicious" situations.

In this match, Ninh Binh opened the score early in the 5th minute thanks to Le Hai Duc, but very quickly after that, Vo Huu Viet Hoang (number 20) equalized for the home team.

In the 18th minute, Vietnamese-American striker Lee Williams raised the score to 2-1 for Ho Chi Minh City Police.

In the 45+2 minute, Nguyen Duc Phu seized the opportunity to increase the gap to 3-1 for the home team at Thong Nhat Stadium.

But right before the end of the first half, Hoang Duc scored to shorten the score to 2-3.

Entering the second half, Hoang Duc showed his captain's mettle by continuously encouraging the whole team to focus on playing and taking advantage of opportunities.

And the result came when Gustavo Henrique equalized 3-3, then Geovane crossed the ball, hitting Quang Hung and bouncing into the net, sealing a 4-3 victory for Ninh Binh Club in the 89th minute.

Winning a dramatic victory, Ninh Binh Club continues to hold the top position in V.League after 11 rounds with 8 wins, 3 draws, scoring 26 goals.
