The highlight match in round 9 of the 2024-2025 National First Division between Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc and Phu Dong Ninh Binh clubs ended with a 1-0 victory for the visitors.
Midfielder Hoang Duc scored a great goal from 30m away to defeat goalkeeper Tan Truong, helping Ninh Binh get 3 points and consolidating their position at the top of the rankings with 24 points.
Meanwhile, although still ranked 2nd, the failure in the most important match of the first leg caused them to widen the gap to 4 points compared to their opponents and was somewhat disadvantaged because they played more than 1 match.
The third place continues to be PVF-CAND after a 3-1 victory over Khanh Hoa in the early match.
The next two positions on the rankings are Ba Ria - Vung Tau (4th) and Khanh Hoa (5th). However, the gap in points between them and the top 3 is quite large.
Ranked 6th, 7th, 8th respectively are Tre Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Thap and Long An. In particular, the team from the city named after Uncle Ho just defeated Hue with a score of 2-0, Dong Thap lost to Ba Ria - Vung Tau 0-1 and Long An held Hoa Binh to a draw in a goalless match.
The 3 bottom positions are still familiar names, but the order has changed slightly. Hoa Binh Club is ranked 10th with 6 points, Hue is ranked 11th (5 points) and Dong Nai is at the bottom of the rankings (4 points).
