Hong Linh Ha Dinh edged past Binh Phuoc 1:0 in V.League 1, Regular Season - 2 on 13 September 2026. The result keeps the hosts in 11th place with three points from two games, while the visitors remain bottom with none.
And here's the thing about the opening exchanges — a penalty was missed in the eighth minute, which would have settled things early. By then, Bui Tien Dung had already been brought off in the 19th, a substitution that suggested the hosts were looking to change something.
To be fair, the game opened up properly after the break. Luiz Antonio struck in the 50th minute, and that proved decisive. Three yellow cards followed, one to Phan Van Hieu in the 30th, another in the 55th, and a late one at 90+2.
The hosts had come off a 0:2 defeat to Cong An Nyan Dan on 5 September, and before that a heavy 0:3 loss to Phu Dong. Binh Phuoc, meanwhile, were closing in on a winless start — they had lost 0:2 to Viettel and 0:1 to Zuan Thien Pho Tho in their most recent outings.
By then, the table told its own story. Hong Linh Ha Dinh sat 11th with a single victory, while Binh Phuoc's two defeats left them in 12th with zero points. One win, one loss, one goal — that was all the hosts needed.
