Round 15 of the National First Division 2025/26: Bac Ninh Club reclaims second place in the table from Quy Nhon United.
Quy Nhon United's four-match winning streak was forced to stop against PVF-CAND Youth Club. Seizing the opportunity, Bac Ninh Club regained the 2nd position on the standings after a 1-0 victory over Dong Thap Club...
Quy Nhon United established a four-match winning streak and opened up hope to compete for the top spot in the table with Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club. If they had won against PVF-CAND Youth Club in round 15, the team could have confidently entered the direct confrontation with Truong Tuoi Dong Nai in round 16. However, at the crucial moment, Quy Nhon United could not secure all 3 points against PVF-CAND Youth Club as the two teams drew 1-1.
The draw prevented Quy Nhon United from maintaining its 2nd position on the standings. On the same match day, Bac Ninh Club secured a thrilling 1-0 victory over Dong Thap Club to return to the 2nd place on the standings with a goal by Xuan Tin in the 90+3 minute. Bac Ninh Club does not have impressive victories, often with minimal margins, but enough to continue "breathing hot air" towards their opponent Truong Tuoi Dong Nai.
The result of Bac Ninh Club will create significant pressure for Coach Viet Thang's team when they host Quang Ninh Club on the afternoon of April 19th. Because after this match, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club faces a predicted difficult journey on away grounds in rounds 16 and 18.
Dong Thap Club did not win, but its position is temporarily not threatened by the bottom-placed team Ho Chi Minh City Youth. On the match day of April 17th, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club suffered a 1-2 loss against Khatoco Khanh Hoa Club, thus continuing to stay at the bottom of the First Division standings with 4 points.
