Viktor Le shines again, HCM Club loses to Ha Tinh

Home team Ho Chi Minh City hopes to get at least 1 point when welcoming Ha Tinh at Thong Nhat Stadium to keep their hopes of staying in the league alive.

The match was evenly balanced throughout the first half. Both teams created a number of dangerous opportunities, but neither side was able to capitalize on them to open the scoring.

But in the context of not having a strong force and a weak attack, coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team had to leave the match "empty-handed".

The rain, slippery pitch and wet ball made Viktor Le's cross from the left wing become a "masterpiece" goal. The Vietnamese-American midfielder curled the ball with the inside of his right foot and surprised the home team's goalkeeper when the ball bounced into the far corner of the goal.

After conceding the goal, the "red battleship" tried to raise its formation to find an equalizer, but Hong Linh Ha Tinh's solid defense successfully neutralized the home team's attacks.

The only goal of the match helped the Hong Mountain team win the match, continuing to maintain their impressive form and consolidating their position in the top 4 teams in the rankings.

With an impressive performance, Viktor Le not only helped his team win all 3 points but also continued to score points in the eyes of coach Kim Sang-sik, opening up the opportunity to be included in the Vietnam U22 team to participate in the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers and the 33rd SEA Games in the near future.

"The slippery field created favorable conditions for me to score. I learned many good things from my teammates, accumulated experience and competitive spirit from the guidance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong. I love the team and of course will always play with dedication and effort to help the team complete the set goals" - Viktor Le shared.

Meanwhile, the defeat at home has made Ho Chi Minh City FC continue to face difficulties in the relegation race. The team needs to quickly improve their performance to avoid the risk of falling into the bottom group.

On the same day, The Cong Viettel also beat Song Lam Nghe An with a score of 1-0 to temporarily rise to 3rd place in the rankings with 33 points.
