The reason comes from the steep decline into the tunnel quite smoothly, while Tien Linh's shoe nail is not matching enough. This caused the striker of Ho Chi Minh City Police to fall into a deadlock. After that, he stood up and tried to continue signing autographs for fans.
However, Tien Linh's face appeared to be quite painful after the fall. After giving gifts to young fans, the player born in 1997 entered the tunnel with a sore ankle due to this incident.
Before that, Tien Linh also stayed to thank the fans who came to the stadium to cheer for The Cong Viettel and Ho Chi Minh City Police. This Vietnamese player took photos and signed autographs for many spectators after the match, despite the home team's 0-3 defeat to the army team.
This is a match in which Tien Linh did not have much room to show his finishing ability. The most notable opportunity that the pivotal striker of Ho Chi Minh City Police had came at the end of the match. He passed goalkeeper Van Viet and shot into the goal. However, the The Cong Viettel defender promptly withdrew to block, depriving Tien Linh of a clear scoring opportunity.
Speaking after the match, Tien Linh pointed out the problems that Ho Chi Minh City Police need to remove after the loss. Accordingly, the foreign players arrived at the team quite late, making the rhythm not really good. In addition, the team also lost the game to The Cong Viettel, leading to the inability to put pressure on the opponent's field.
In round 3 of V.League 2025-2026, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club will return to Thong Nhat Stadium to welcome Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
