Southeast Asian fans erupted when Đình Bắc scored 4 goals in a single match

On the first day of spring in his hometown Nghệ An, Nguyễn Đình Bắc caused a sensation among Southeast Asian netizens by netting four goals in a charity friendly, as well as gaining praise for his generous deeds beyond football.

On the afternoon of the 4th day of the Lunar New Year of the Bính Ngọ spring (February 20, 2026), Yên Trung commune’s football field in Nghệ An suddenly became the focal point for regional fans as Nguyễn Đình Bắc delivered an explosive performance with 4 goals in a charity friendly match.

Although it was only a match between the hometown team of Yên Trung and a local business aiming to raise funds for those in need, the intensity generated by the game rivaled that of any professional competition. The presence of the “Top Scorer” of the 2026 U23 Asian Championship, currently playing for CAHN, turned the village pitch into a real “cauldron” on this spring day.

Yên Trung started poorly and fell behind 1-3 within just over 20 minutes. In that tense atmosphere, all eyes were on Đình Bắc. The striker born in 2004 did not disappoint the crowd.

At the end of the first half, he calmly scored to reduce the deficit. In the second half, Đình Bắc continued to shine by equalizing at 3-3 before executing a classy free kick to put his team ahead 4-3. Not stopping there, he completed his poker with a skillful finish after a teammate’s cross, greatly contributing to the thrilling 5-4 comeback victory.

Right after the match, a video capturing Đình Bắc’s 4 goals was widely shared across many Southeast Asian football forums. Numerous fans from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines left impressed comments.

An Indonesian user wrote: “He’s only 22 but his finishing is so cold-blooded. Vietnam is about to have another true assassin at the continental level.”

A Thai fan commented: “Đình Bắc has excellent goal-scoring instincts. If he maintains this form, he has what it takes to go beyond Southeast Asia.”

Meanwhile, a Malaysian supporter remarked: “Scoring 4 goals even in a friendly, his movement and positioning show a different class.”

Another opinion from the Philippines even compared: “Đình Bắc is becoming the new symbol of Vietnam’s youth generation. Talented and dedicated.”

Not only impressing with his skills, Đình Bắc also moved the online community by donating 60 million VND to Yên Trung’s charity fund. During the break, he patiently signed autographs, took photos, and chatted with hometown residents, especially children.

On this early spring day, Nguyễn Đình Bắc’s brilliant performance combined with his noble gesture not only warmed the hearts of Nghệ An fans but also caught the special attention of the entire Southeast Asian football community. A village friendly match, yet its impact spread throughout the region.
