LPBank V.League 1-2024/25 Top Scorer Race: Tien Linh Alone Against the Brazilian 'Gang'

TPO - After 6 rounds of silence, yesterday Tien Linh scored 2 goals in a row to light up the hope of winning the Golden Boot award. He is 1 goal behind the leading position and in the final round, the 28-year-old striker can completely become the first domestic striker in 8 years to win the Golden Boot award of the tournament.

Tien Linh had a long period of leading the tournament's scoring list. However, in the last 6 rounds, he suddenly declined. Tien Linh's decline also caused Binh Duong to plummet. This team, which once had hopes of reaching the Top 3, is now in the middle of the rankings.

Most recently against Hai Phong , Binh Duong lost 4 goals in the first half before Tien Linh salvaged their honor with 2 sensational finishing situations. In the 69th minute, he launched a low kick that sent the ball into a tricky path, defeating Hai Phong's goalkeeper.

In extra time, Tien Linh had a similar finish but from the opposite corner. The last two goals helped him end a long period of silence, bringing him forward with Alan Grafite and Lucao.

Alan is co-leading the scoring race.

In the penultimate round, all 6 strikers leading the scoring list scored. Alan Grafite scored against Thanh Hoa, Tien Linh scored 2 goals, Lucao scored a double against Binh Duong while Ribamar and Pedro Henrique both contributed 1 goal. All are heating up the race for the Golden Boot when the positions are only separated by 1 goal. In the final round, everything can be reversed if Tien Linh scores 2 goals.

It can be said that this battle is witnessing Tien Linh fighting alone against the Brazilian “gang” because he is the only domestic striker who still hopes to compete with 5 strikers from the Samba land, including Alan, Lucao, Pedro, Ribamar and Leo Artur. Tien Linh also carries the hope of becoming the first domestic striker to win the Golden Boot after 8 years. In 2017, Anh Duc scored 17 goals for Binh Duong and became the best striker of the season.
