Hoàng Đức is the only local player appearing in the top group on the V-League 2025/26 leading scorers list.
After round 9 of the V-League 2025/26, the race for the top scorer title is overwhelmingly dominated by foreign players.
Leading the list is Alan Sebastiao (Công an Hà Nội) with 8 goals, showcasing explosive form and impressive finishing skills. The Brazilian striker is the main hope in the capital's attacking line, playing a crucial role in helping CAHN stay close to the top spot. In the latest round, he also scored a goal to help CAHN secure a 2-0 victory over PVF-CAND.
Following Alan are his teammate and compatriot Leo Artur and Fred Friday (Hải Phòng), each with 5 goals, maintaining consistent performance. Fred Friday has directly contributed to the impressive streak of the Port City team this season and is highly rated by experts.
The chasing group right behind includes many foreign strikers such as Daniel Da Silva, Gustavo, Ugochukwu (Ninh Bình, Becamex TP.HCM), Tagueu Tadjo (Hải Phòng), and Lucas Vinicius (Thể Công Viettel), all having scored 4 goals.
The most notable point in this ranking is that only Hoàng Đức (Ninh Bình) is the single domestic player featured. Amid a strong and effective group of foreign players, Hoàng Đức’s presence highlights his class and ability to maintain high performance as a Vietnamese national team star. Meanwhile, another domestic striker with expectations, Tiến Linh, currently has 3 goals.
It is clear that after 9 rounds, foreign scorers remain the most prominent figures. However, Hoàng Đức’s appearance among the leaders sends a positive signal, confirming that domestic players still have the capability to compete fiercely in this tough race.
