Round 5 of V.League 2024-2025 witnessed the impressive performance of the away teams. Hosting the top team Thanh Hoa at home ground Pleiku, Hoang Anh Gia Lai really wanted a win to return to the number one position on the rankings. However, the equalizer in the injury time of the Thanh team caused Hoang Anh Gia Lai to lose the victory.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Thanh Hoa only got 1 point in Pleiku, The Cong Viettel climbed closer to the top position of the Thanh team thanks to 3 points gained against Binh Duong at home stadium Hang Day.
With this result, Thanh Hoa, The Cong Viettel and Hoang Anh Gia Lai respectively share the top 3 positions on the rankings.
The next 3 positions belong to Hong Linh Ha Tinh, Cong An Ha Noi and Ha Noi FC respectively. Also playing at Hang Day Stadium, Ha Noi FC could not get all 3 points. Mbo Noel had a decisive shot from outside the penalty area to help Hong Linh Ha Tinh draw 1-1 with Ha Noi FC. With this result, the Hong mountain team is still the rare team to continue to maintain an unbeaten record in the professional national championship this season.
In this round, Hanoi Police Club is definitely the most prominent name with a 3-0 victory right on Thien Truong Stadium of defending champion Nam Dinh.
After an unsatisfactory start to the season, Hanoi Police have been performing very well in recent rounds. This shows the strong competitive ability of coach Mano Polking and his team.
Meanwhile, in the bottom group, Hai Phong, Da Nang and Song Lam Nghe An share positions 12, 13 and 14 respectively.
