Tien Linh is at risk of losing steam in the V.League Top Scorer Race

As of round 20 of V.League 2024-2025, Nguyen Tien Linh is leading the list of top scorers with 11 goals. The striker born in 1997 scored in turn in matches against Thanh Hoa (2 goals), Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, Hoang Anh Gia Lai (2 goals), Da Nang (2 goals), Quang Nam, Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Song Lam Nghe An.

However, Tien Linh's scoring form lacked stability. Since March, which has transitioned to 5 rounds, the 28-year-old player has only scored 1 goal from the penalty spot. This made it difficult for him in the race for the top scorer in the final rounds.

However, currently, Tien Linh is still the domestic striker with the best scoring efficiency in V.League 2024-2025.

Ranked 2nd on the list is Ribamar of Dong A Thanh Hoa with 9 goals. The Brazilian striker has been competing in the V.League since round 6 but has become the top scorer for the Thanh team to date.

Notably, in the last round, Ribamar played brilliantly and scored a hat-trick against The Cong Viettel. He is only 2 goals behind Tien Linh and can completely overcome it if he continues to maintain his impressive form.

Another player with 9 goals is foreign player Alan Alexandre of Hanoi Police. However, Alan has physical problems, which have somewhat affected his performance after returning to competition. Therefore, he needs to make more efforts to catch up with opponents in the King of set-pieces race.

In addition, there were 8 goals after 19 rounds by Lucao (Hai Phong) and Leo Artur (Hanoi Police). Accordingly, Lucao is still a dangerous " detonator" of the Hai Phong team and can cause a high breakthrough, while Leo Artur is less fortunate due to injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
