Xuan Son exploded with a hat-trick at Binh Duong Stadium

Nam Dinh FC came to Binh Duong Stadium with high spirits after 3 consecutive wins, scoring 10 goals and only conceding 1. Striker Nguyen Xuan Son left his mark with a double against Da Nang FC.

Going into the away match against a direct rival in the championship race, Coach Vu Hong Viet deployed a squad with 4 Western players, in addition to Nguyen Xuan Son, there was also central defender Lucas and the central midfielder duo Caio - Mpande alongside wide player Ly Cong Hoang Anh.

Meanwhile, coach Hoang Anh Tuan deployed a team consisting entirely of domestic players, with only one Westerner, naturalized player Trung Hieu, meaning he "gained" 3 foreign players to his opponent.

A fierce fight for the ball between Mpande and Minh Khoa

The reality on the field showed that Nam Dinh Club completely dominated, when the Caio - Mpande duo completely divided Binh Duong Club's lines, causing the home team to not have many significant attacking routes for Tien Linh up front.

On the other hand, Nam Dinh Club's attack played extremely effectively, with sharp scoring performance, in which Nguyen Xuan Son scored a hat-trick in the first half from a breakaway situation and 2 dangerous headers.

Also in the first half, Ly Cong Hoang Anh made the large number of Nam Dinh fans present at Binh Duong Stadium explode with a solo shot past 4 people including goalkeeper Minh Toan before tapping the ball into an empty net.

Binh Duong fans are upset

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and Binh Duong Club suffered the heaviest defeat since the beginning of the tournament.

After entering the field in the 64th minute of the 5-0 win over Da Nang Club in the previous round, striker Nguyen Van Toan was sent onto the field by coach Vu Hong Viet in the beginning of the second half.

On the other side of the field, coach Hoang Anh Tuan was forced to play "all-in" when he pulled out Viet Cuong and Minh Trong, replacing them with Wellington Nem and Duc Chinh to use an attacking formation with 3 strikers Tien Linh - Vi Hao - Duc Chinh.

Also from the second half, Binh Duong fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the huge "Let's do it for the fans" banner hanging on the B stand. This fueled the home team's determination to find an honorary goal.

Xuan Son's good form will be a good sign for the Vietnam team.

This came in the 58th minute, when young midfielder Vo Hoang Minh Khoa dribbled to earn a free kick near Nam Dinh Club's penalty area, helping Tan Tai equalize 1-4 after a free kick combination.

After this goal, Nam Dinh Club sent Tuan Anh onto the field and tried to slow down the pace of the match, while the home team's purple players sent Hai Huy and Xuan Tu onto the field in search of more goals.

In the 75th minute, VAR intervened to help the referee determine that Xuan Tu had fouled Tuan Anh in the penalty area. Unfortunately, when Xuan Son gave up the ball, Van Toan kicked the ball and it hit the post and went out.

Leaving the field with a score of 4-1, the 4th consecutive victory, Nam Dinh Club (19 points) is closely following the leader Thanh Hoa, far ahead of the rest after round 9. On the contrary, Binh Duong Club (11 points) continued its unstable streak of matches and fell to 8th place, with many problems to solve.
