Coach Kim Sang-sik receives the best possible news from Dinh Bac

Nguyen Dinh Bac finally scores in V.League 2025/26 after a long stretch of silence.

Entering the match, CAHN quickly demonstrated superior strength by completely controlling the game. From the 6th minute, foreign player Stefan Mauk opened the scoring, before doubling the lead in the 24th minute with a precise finish. Amid the home team's dominance, the awaited moment arrived for Dinh Bac in the 30th minute. Utilizing a teammate's quick flick, he broke free, calmly handled the ball causing goalkeeper Van Toan to lose balance before slotting into the empty net, raising the score to 3-0.

This goal not only helped CAHN nearly decide the match right in the first half but also carried immense significance in relieving pressure for Dinh Bac personally. After many matches missing opportunities, the young striker finally "opened his account" in an emotional outburst, receiving a congratulatory hug from senior Nguyen Quang Hai.

In the second half, Da Nang Club surged strongly. In the 48th minute, Van Son scored to reduce the gap to 1-3 after a series of attacking efforts. However, efficiency remained the major difference between the two teams. While the visitors wasted many chances, CAHN continued to punish opponent mistakes with speedy and sharp play.

In the 70th minute, Dinh Bac completed his brace with a clever offside trap breakthrough before defeating the goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation. This goal affirmed the powerful comeback of the young forward, while boosting confidence for CAHN's attack in the final stretch. By the 83rd minute, Van Do sealed the 5-1 victory, concluding the convincing performance of the police department's team.

This victory helps CAHN extend their winning streak to 11 matches, solidly reinforcing their top position with 44 points, leaving the trailing team 10 points behind. Coach Mano Polking's team also possesses the league's strongest attack with 40 goals, while having the most solid defense conceding only 14 times.

After this pressure-relieving goal, if he continues to maintain impressive form in CAHN's colors, Dinh Bac could fully return to the Vietnam National Team soon. This is a crucial year for the Vietnam National Team as they aim for two important tournaments: the ASEAN Cup and FIFA ASEAN Cup, where young, explosive talents like the 2004-born forward could become notable options.
