Pham Gia Hung is a forward from the new generation of Vietnamese football. During the September 2025 training camp, he was called up for the first time by coach Kim Sang Sik to the Vietnam National Teamand played in matches against Nepal and Laos as part of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Besides Gia Hung, the capital city team's offense was also highly efficient. Gustavo continued his excellent form with a brace, while Truong Tien Anh, Le Ngoc Bao, Geovane, and Fred Friday each contributed a goal. Additionally, Ninh Binh FC benefited from an own goal by the opponent.

A day earlier, in the first friendly between the two teams, Ninh Binh FC also demonstrated superiority by winning 6-1. Fred Friday and Geovane both scored twice, while Le Van Thuan and Gustavo were the other scorers.

These two consecutive big wins helped the Hoa Lu capital team maintain high spirits during the V-League break over Tet and provided positive signs for their attacking line before the season resumes.
