Minh Vương remained silent as Đồng Nai ended in a dull draw

(Football result) - The game between Đồng Nai and Bắc Ninh was fiercely contested in heavy rain, concluding with a 0-0 draw, much to the regret of the home side.

The match between Trường Tươi Đồng Nai and Bắc Ninh in the 5th round of the 2025 National First Division ended in a 0-0 draw, with unfavorable weather causing both teams significant challenges in executing their tactics.

Right from the kickoff, both teams showed strong determination. The early minutes saw a balanced game with the ball mainly in midfield. Bắc Ninh was more proactive in attack, while Đồng Nai played with solidity and discipline. However, the first half was quite dull with no real threatening chances created.

In the second half, the visitors Bắc Ninh suddenly increased their pace and created several notable chances. At the 52nd minute, they pressed hard, forcing the home defense to work intensely. Yet, shortly after, Đồng Nai gradually regained control. Under Minh Vương’s leadership, the Southeastern team began to organize more coherent attacks.

The most regrettable moment came at the 70th minute when from a precise cross by Minh Vương, Bắc Ninh’s goalkeeper Tuấn Linh came out hesitantly, the ball reaching Alex Sandro. Despite the goal being open, Đồng Nai’s foreign player missed the shot, much to the disappointment of the home fans.

In the final minutes, heavy rain made the pitch slippery, preventing both teams from playing as they wished. Despite great effort, neither side could score the decisive goal. The 0-0 draw accurately reflected a tight match full of tactics but lacking breakthroughs in finishing.

This result gave both Đồng Nai and Bắc Ninh one point each, but it was clearly a big disappointment for the Bình Phước home team who missed the chance to win on their turf.
