Hoang Hen’s performance was lackluster, Hanoi had to settle for a draw against Nam Dinh

(Football result) - Hanoi was unable to claim a full 3 points even though they were rated higher than the host Nam Dinh.

The match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi FC ended in a draw 1-1 with not many notable plays, Nam Dinh took an early lead in the 7th minute when center-back Lucas seized the opportunity after Dau Van Toan’s poor clearance, delivering a powerful shot inside the box that left Hanoi’s goalkeeper helpless.

After scoring, the home team dropped back and switched to counter-attack defense. Hanoi FC pushed forward and tried hard to equalize.

The visitors’ efforts paid off in the 32nd minute: from a precise pass by Hung Dung, Xuan Manh executed a stunning volley from outside the penalty area, leaving goalkeeper Nguyen Manh frozen and leveling the score 1-1 before the first half ended.

In the second half, Nam Dinh played cautiously and slowed down after conceding, while Hanoi FC continued to control possession better. In the 71st minute, a controversial moment occurred when Percy Tau (Nam Dinh) quickly fell inside the box after contact from Cong Nhat to win a penalty, but the referee booked him for diving.

Although Percy Tau later skillfully dribbled past 3 Hanoi players, his final shot (80th minute) lacked accuracy. The match ended with no further goals, finishing 1-1.

Key information before the matchNam Dinh vs Hanoi

At Thien Truong Stadium, the defending champions Thep Xanh Nam Dinh (9 points) – currently ranked 9th from bottom – face a tough challenge against another big name, Hanoi FC (14 points). It’s clear that despite great efforts, Nam Dinh has yet to find an effective solution to overcome the crisis caused by injuries and the decline in form of some key players.

The recent streak of 6 matches without a win has been too long for Nam fans. On the other hand, Hanoi has also faced several squad issues this season, but they are showing signs of recovery earlier under new head coach Harry Kewell. The most positive sign was their 4-0 victory over PVF CAND in round 10, a good signal that their forwards have started scoring again.

Based on these performances, many might favor Hanoi FC to win, even though they must play at the “hotbed” of a team that has won two consecutive titles.

The most notable aspect of this match is Do Hoang Hen, who will face his old club Nam Dinh for the first time. Having had three very successful seasons at Thien Truong Stadium, Hoang Hen, now naturalized, is in impressive form wearing the Hanoi FC jersey and is expected to cause many difficulties for Nam Dinh’s defense.

Expected lineups Nam Dinh vs Hanoi

• Nam Dinh:Nguyen Manh; Lucas Alves, Van Toi, Dinh Son, Van Kien, Van Vi, Van Dat, Van Vu, Brenner, Lam Ti Phong, Romulo.
• Hanoi:Van Chuan, Xuan Manh, Van Toan, Thanh Chung, Cong Nhat, Duy Manh, Hung Dung, Luiz Fernando, Hoang Hen, Van Quyet, Daniel Passira.
