Despite missing 9 matches, still number one, Hoàng Hên stands out in V-League

Even though he missed the first 9 rounds, Đỗ Hoàng Hên has risen to lead the domestic scoring list in V.League 2025/26, becoming a crucial pillar helping Hanoi accelerate.

The race for the domestic Golden Boot title V.League 2025/26 is witnessing a special scenario named Đỗ Hoàng Hên. Hanoi's forward makes a strong impression by leading the domestic player scoring list despite not playing in the first 9 rounds of the season.

After returning, Hoàng Hên quickly demonstrated stable scoring form. He has scored 9 goals in just 13 appearances, achieving a rate of 0.69 goals per match. This figure shows the opportunity utilization ability and sharpness of the 31-year-old striker.

A notable point is that in all matches where Hoàng Hên scored, Hanoi secured victories. This indicates his direct role in determining outcomes. The flourishing of this forward has helped the capital city team climb to the top group and maintain hopes for competing for high rankings.

In the most recent match, Hoàng Hên continued to leave his mark with a dribble and assist helping Văn Quyết score in the 3-2 victory over Ninh Bình. This performance played a key part in helping Hanoi narrow the gap with that opponent to just 1 point on the standings.

While Hoàng Hên leads, behind him is fierce competition. Hoàng Đức is chasing with 6 goals, followed by Nguyễn Trần Việt Cường with 5 scoring actions. These are all names with stable form ready to create pressure in the season's final phase.

The next group includes Lê Văn Thuận, Nguyễn Đình Bắc and Phạm Gia Hưng each with 4 goals. Notably, Đình Bắc is showing a strong resurgence by scoring 4 goals in the last 3 matches. This makes the race more unpredictable.

Additionally, many other standout players also feature in the list with 3 goals such as Xuân Son, Quang Hải, Tiến Linh or Văn Khang. The not too large gap between positions promises that the individual title competition will see many fluctuations.

However, the current advantage still belongs to Hoàng Hên. His ability to maintain high performance along with clear influence makes him the brightest candidate for the season's best domestic striker title.

In the context of the season entering its decisive phase, Hoàng Hên's form will play a pivotal role for Hanoi. If he continues to maintain stability, he will not only help the team achieve its goals but could also conclude the season as number one on the domestic scoring standings.
