On the evening of January 29th, Xuan Son shone with a brace, helping Nam Dinh defeat Lion City Sailors 3-0 in the 2025/26 Southeast Asian Club Championship. The key striker for the Vietnamese national team increased his total goals to 7 in just 3 appearances, making him the tournament's top scorer so far.

Since fully recovering and returning to the pitch, the 1997-born striker has consistently made a strong impression. The start of this impressive run was his goal against Laos, which helped Xuan Son relieve psychological pressure after a long period of injury and marked his confident return to the national team.

Returning to play for Nam Dinh in the continental arena, Xuan Son continued to demonstrate his formidable goal-scoring instinct. In the match against Shan United, the striker scored a perfect hat-trick, becoming the biggest highlight in the attack. His intelligent positioning, diverse finishing skills, and decisiveness in the penalty area constantly troubled the opposing defense.

The winning streak hasn't stopped. In the matches against Bangkok United and Lion City Sailors, Xuan Son scored two goals in each game, making a significant contribution to the team's positive results.

In his last four matches, Xuan Son scored eight goals, averaging two goals per game – an extremely impressive figure for any striker. This form reflects his peak physical condition and demonstrates his confidence and desire to contribute after a difficult period due to injury.

Xuan Son's strong comeback sends positive signals for both Nam Dinh Club and the Vietnamese national team in the coming period.
