Vietnamese football hot news today, April 27: Dinh Bac stays humble after achieving a V-League record; Vietnam U17 prepares for AFC U17 Asian Cup finals.

Dinh Bac remains modest after setting a record in V-League

Dinh Bac is very happy after scoring his first hat-trick in V-League but still maintains a certain level of humility.

"Before this match, the coaching staff and the whole team set the goal that we would have 7 final matches. The entire team must strive in each game, not hastily think about later matches. Today's victory is precisely the gift that CAHN Club wants to give to the fans who have always followed and supported the team.

This is my first hat-trick. I am very delighted because the whole team gave me the chance to take the penalty to complete my hat-trick. I thank everyone for everything.

The whole team is striving one match at a time, not yet thinking about the title. The team will play each match wholeheartedly to deliver the best for the supporters," Dinh Bac answered in the post-match interview after CAHN Club's win.

Vietnam U17 focuses on AFC U17 Asian Cup finals

The AFC U17 Asian Cup 2026 finals will take place in Saudi Arabia from May 5 to May 23, gathering 16 teams that excelled in the qualifiers and are placed into 4 groups. The 8 teams qualifying for the quarter-finals, along with host Saudi Arabia, will compete in the FIFA U17 World Cup 2026.

In the group stage, Vietnam U17 is in Group C alongside strong opponents including South Korea U17, UAE U17, and Yemen U17.

According to the schedule, Vietnam U17 will successively face Yemen U17 (May 7), South Korea U17 (May 10), and UAE U17 (May 14). Each match holds significant importance in the race to advance, while also aiming for the broader goal of competing for a spot in the U17 World Cup.

Coach Cristiano Roland and his squad will depart for Saudi Arabia early in the morning on May 1. The Southeast Asian championship is a notable milestone, but also a stepping stone for Vietnam U17 to aim for greater challenges.

Coach Polking does not blame Nguyen Filip

CAHN Club secured a 4-2 victory over SLNA, but Coach Polking was not satisfied with the defense and goalkeeper Nguyen Filip, who had a moment of lack of focus.

Answering the press conference after the win against SLNA in round 20 of LPBank V-League 2025/26, Coach Polking stated: "We must never lose concentration. When we are completely controlling the match and concede two goals, it should not happen.

In a corner kick situation, we need to be more responsible. That mistake occurred at the end of the first half.

However, this is not the time to criticize anyone. The whole team is working very well and is on the right track.

We will only be truly satisfied when we achieve the goal. Currently, everything is not yet finished, but the team is getting very close to the championship."
