Nam Dinh FC had a difficult away match against Shan United in the second round of the ASEAN Club Championship 2025-2026. However, coach Mauro and his team ended the 90 minutes with an impressive 3-0 victory, thereby continuing their winning streak and gaining a big advantage in the race for a ticket to the next round.

Right after the opening whistle, Nam Dinh started the game cautiously, facing many deadlocks against the strong pressing style of the home team. It was not until the 19th minute that the first notable opportunity came to the team from the South when Xuan Son shot in the penalty area but the ball hit a Shan United defender and bounced out.

The turning point came at the end of the first half. In the 45th minute, Van Vi was fouled in the penalty area and the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Xuan Son made no mistake, bringing home the opening goal and helping Nam Dinh enter the break with the lead.

In the second half, Nam Dinh played more freely and quickly doubled the gap. In the 52nd minute, Brenner made a strong sprint on the left wing before placing the ball for Xuan Son to run in and cushion the ball close to the goal, raising the score to 2-0.

In the 81st minute, the match became more favorable for Nam Dinh when Shan Utd's Mark Sekyi received a straight red card for a dangerous high kick on Ngoc Son. Just 5 minutes later, the away team took advantage of their man advantage to seal the victory. From a situation where the ball was bobbing around in the penalty area, Xuan Son turned around and finished decisively, completing a brilliant hat-trick and ending his own brilliant performance.

Winning 3-0, Nam Dinh has 6 points after 2 consecutive wins, equal to Svay Rieng and Johor DT but having played 1 match less. This is a perfect start, creating confidence for Coach Mauro and his team in their journey to conquer the regional playground.
