Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh clinched a tense 1-0 win against Hoàng Anh Gia Lai at their home ground on November 4th, in the 10th round of the 2025/26 V-League, with a late penalty scored by Charles.
On the evening of November 4th (Vietnam time), Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh hosted Hoàng Anh Gia Lai at home in the 10th round of the 2025/26 V-League. After a highly intense 90 minutes, the home team claimed a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a late penalty goal by foreign player Charles.
Right after the kickoff, both teams adopted cautious tactics. Hà Tĩnh took control of the ball and looked for spaces on the wings, while HAGL focused on maintaining a low defensive line to wait for counterattack opportunities. In the 11th minute, the home goal was under threat when goalkeeper Thanh Tùng had to take three attempts to secure the ball following a dangerous cross from HAGL. During the first half, although both sides created some chances, no goals were scored, and the score remained 0-0 at halftime.
In the second half, Hà Tĩnh pushed forward, continuously increasing pressure on Trung Kiên’s goal. In the 70th minute, HAGL’s young goalkeeper made an excellent save from a close-range shot by the home team. Just when the match seemed destined to end in a draw, a turning point came in the 86th minute. After consulting VAR, the referee awarded a penalty to Hà Tĩnh due to a foul inside the box. Charles calmly converted the spot-kick, putting Hà Tĩnh ahead 1-0.
In the remaining minutes, HAGL threw everything forward but failed to find an equalizer. The match ended after 7 minutes of added time with a valuable victory for Hà Tĩnh. This result lifted coach Nguyễn Thành Công’s team temporarily to 5th place on the table with 15 points, just 6 points behind leaders Ninh Bình. Meanwhile, HAGL remains stuck near the bottom, sitting second to last with only 7 points after 10 rounds.

For readers’ convenience, we will update detailed match events and the result of Hà Tĩnh vs HAGL in this article.
Returning home to Hà Tĩnh in round 10 of the 2025/26 V.League, Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh (12 points) has a great chance to continue their impressive form against Hoàng Anh Gia Lai, who sit at the bottom of the table with only 7 points, trailing the teams above on goal difference.
In the previous round, HAGL managed only a point after a 2-2 draw with Nam Định, while HLHT delivered a commendable performance, beating Hà Nội FC 2-1 with a double from Viktor Lê. Under coach Nguyễn Công Mạnh, the Hà Tĩnh side, although lacking the strong squad of last season, still maintain a solid, cohesive style and resilient spirit. Two successive wins against strong opponents like Hải Phòng and Hà Nội have boosted their confidence ahead of hosting HAGL.
Conversely, HAGL under coach Nguyễn Quốc Tuấn are going through tough times, having won only 1 out of 9 matches since the season started. Their attack lacks efficiency, and their defense often makes individual mistakes. Playing away at Hà Tĩnh — a team that has won all three recent home matches against HAGL — makes the challenge even harder.
Given HLHT’s stability and rising morale, while HAGL struggles to escape the relegation zone, this promises to be a match where the visitors’ realistic goal is to earn at least a point from Hà Tĩnh.
