Ninh Binh (middle) still holds the top position after round 6

Another capital team that also made a strong impression in round 6 of 2025/26 is Viettel's The Cong.

The team under coach Velizar Popov had a very difficult start at Ninh Binh Arena when the home team Ninh Binh took the lead very early, and the captain and center-back Bui Tien Dung of Viettel's The Cong was sent off for a foul on striker Gustavo in the penalty area.

Despite the disadvantage in terms of numbers and spirit, when the one who opened the score for Ninh Binh was Duc Chien, former midfielder of Viettel The Cong, but coach Popov's team still played with great effort and resilience in a 10 vs 11 situation and finally got the equalizer 1-1 to leave with 1 point.

Round 6 results

In the early match, Hanoi Police with home field advantage won 2-1 against Hai Phong, while defending champion Nam Dinh shared points after a goalless draw at Ho Chi Minh City Police's field.

The remaining matches including Thanh Hoa - Becamex TP.HCM, HAGL - SLNA and VPF -CAND - Hong Linh Ha Tinh all ended in a 1-1 draw.

After 6 rounds, the race in the top group has begun to show signs of separation, when the 4 teams ranked above, Ninh Binh (14 points), Hanoi Police, Ho Chi Minh City Police (both 13 points) and Viettel The Cong (12 points), have broken away with a significant gap in points compared to the 3 teams in the middle with 8 points each: Hai Phong (5th), Hanoi Club (6th) and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (7th).

Ranking after round 6

However, the season is still very long, so this ranking is only temporary and it is very likely that the order in the top group will be disrupted after the end of the FIFA Days holiday in October, because then Ninh Binh will face Hanoi Club and then Hanoi Police.

This makes round 7 of V.League 1-2025/26, which will return from October 18, worth the wait.
