At Pleiku, Hoang Anh Gia Lai scored the first goal of the season thanks to Minh Tam, but let Song Lam Nghe An equalize 1-1. The most regrettable was Jairo's missed penalty in injury time, which cost the home team 3 points. With this result, Hoang Anh Gia Lai only has 3 points after 6 rounds, ranking second to last but slightly better than Thanh Hoa thanks to the goal difference.
Song Lam Nghe An with 1 point has risen to 10th place with 5 points. However, the Nghe An team is still uncertain as the bottom group is right behind. In the remaining match, PVF-CAND and Ha Tinh held each other to a 1-1 draw, maintaining their position in the mid-table area with 6 and 8 points respectively.
In the top, Ninh Binh FC continues to hold the top spot with 14 points after 6 matches. Following closely are Hanoi Police and Ho Chi Minh City Police with 13 points, while The Cong Viettel is in 4th place with 12 points. Hai Phong Club is ranked 5th with 10 points, creating a 4-point gap with the top group.
From 6th to 9th place are Hanoi, Ha Tinh, Nam Dinh and PVF-CAND - clubs that are considered to have stable performance but have difficulty competing for the championship. At the bottom of the table, in addition to Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Thanh Hoa, Becamex HCMC also faced a lot of pressure when they only had 4 points.
Thus, after round 6, V.League 2025-2026 has formed three distinct groups including the championship competition group, the mid-class group and the relegation competition group. In particular, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Thanh Hoa are two strong candidates for the "red light" position if they do not improve their performance in time.
