CA TP.HCM club advanced notably in the standings by reaching 2nd place following their away game at Binh Duong Stadium.
CA TP HCM was determined to win against the home team Becamex TP.HCM. Coach Huynh Duc’s squad aimed to take advantage of the opponent’s difficulties in terms of squad strength and form to secure a victory and enter the top group. The match unfolded favorably for CA TP.HCM as they dominated the game, pressing the opponent and scoring three goals by Tien Linh (7th minute), Quoc Cuong (59th minute), and Van Binh (83rd minute).
This victory propelled Coach Le Huynh Duc’s team up to 2nd place temporarily on the leaderboard. The team is likely to maintain a top 3 position this round as, later today on 22/9, two contenders Ninh Binh and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh will play.
Both Ninh Binh and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh clubs are eager to win. Ninh Binh will reclaim the top spot if they win (reaching 12 points). If Thep Xanh Nam Dinh wins, Coach Hong Viet’s team will also reach 10 points, equal to the two current leaders CAHN and CA TP.HCM.
Becamex TPHCM continues their disappointing streak with their fourth consecutive loss across competitions (3 matches in V.League 1 and one in the National Cup qualifier). This has pushed Coach Anh Duc’s young team down toward the bottom of the table, facing considerable pressure. With the current narrow point gap, Becamex TP HCM could slip further and be drawn into the relegation fight if timely adjustments are not made soon.
In the other match on 21/9, SLNA and Ha Tinh shared points after a 1-1 draw. The Nghệ An team tried to use home advantage to secure 3 points, but their plan failed. Justin Julian Garcia scored early for the home side in the 7th minute. At the 12th minute, the visitors were reduced to 10 men after Tan Tai received a red card. However, in the second half, at the 54th minute, Le Viktor equalized for Ha Tinh. This draw prevented SLNA from moving up to the top half of the standings.
An exciting derby match in round 4 of the 2025/26 V-League will take place this afternoon (22/9) between Ninh Binh and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh.
