Xuân Son and Nam Định have stunned all of Southeast Asia with one remarkable statistic

Nam Định is topping the Shopee Cup 2025/2026 goal charts, highlighted by Xuân Son’s impressive form scoring 7 goals in only 3 games after coming back.

Nam Định Football Club has become the brightest highlight at the 2025/2026 Southeast Asian Champions Cup by consistently impressing with their superior attacking power. After 4 rounds, the Vietnamese representative not only secured early qualification but also rose to lead the tournament in goals scored, confirming their status as strong contenders for the championship.

Statistics show Nam Định has scored 12 goals, the highest in the tournament so far. This figure clearly reflects the effectiveness of their playing style, especially considering they face many experienced and physically strong opponents in the regional competition. Their ability to capitalize on chances allows Nam Định to frequently take an early lead and maintain control throughout the matches.

Central to this success is Xuân Son, the striker currently in the most explosive form in the Shopee Cup 2025/2026. The forward born in 1997 has scored 7 goals in only 3 games since his return to play in early December 2025, rising to the top of the scorers' list. Notably, Xuân Son alone has contributed more than half of Nam Định’s total goals, highlighting his crucial role in their attacking system.

Nam Định not only excels in scoring but also impresses with proactive play, intense pressing, and a high defensive line. Coach Mauro Jeronimo’s players have fired a total of 54 shots, including 24 on target — numbers that demonstrate their ability to dominate the game and keep constant pressure on the opposition’s defense. This tactic helps Nam Định control the match tempo, even against highly rated rivals.

After a period sidelined by injury, Xuân Son quickly regained his lethal scoring touch. His hat-trick against Shan United marked a strong comeback milestone. He didn’t stop there, adding a brace against Bangkok United and scoring crucial goals in matches versus Lion City Sailors, directly helping Nam Định secure early advancement past the group stage.

With an impressive scoring rate and consistent form, Nam Định is showcasing a comprehensive and ambitious attacking style in the Shopee Cup 2025/2026. Leading the tournament in goals not only reflects their offensive strength but also provides a solid foundation as they confidently aim for bigger challenges in the semifinals, where their goal of regional supremacy is becoming clearer than ever.
