CA TP.HCM CLUB RENEWED AGAINST HAGL
Returning to Thong Nhat Stadium, the Ho Chi Minh City Police (HCMC Police) team is expected to introduce its newest foreign player, midfielder Peter Makrillos (30 years old), who trained at La Masia (Spain) and spent 6 years at Stoke (England) youth team. The 1.85 m tall central midfielder who played in K-League 2 and Macarthur Club (Australia) and has a long stride is expected to improve the ability to compete for the midfield of the HCMC Police. He will replace striker Mbo Noel to compete for 2/3 foreign player slots with Endrick and Utzig (center-back Matheus is sure to start). With the duo of Peter Makrillos and Endrick in the middle of the field, the HCMC Police will rotate the ball better to Tien Linh and Tay Van Toan up front, while the 2 wings with Huy Toan and Quang Hung will always be ready to move up to support.

The preparations of CA TP.HCM Club promise to bring an exciting match with HAGL. CA TP.HCM Club is determined to take all 3 points to ensure a good position before entering the FIFA Days to stabilize and adjust the force. But this goal will not be easy when HAGL's spirit is high after holding Hanoi Club to a 0-0 draw at Hang Day in the previous round. Coach Le Quang Trai's main squad of players born after 2000 has overcome the pressure after the opening match lost 0-3 to Becamex TP.HCM, forcing Hanoi Club to accept a draw. It will be interesting to see the two teams "running and lining up" to complete with a very high fighting spirit, with the same determination to get points to boost their confidence. Hopefully, the city's fans will continue to come to Thong Nhat Stadium to create a wonderful atmosphere like the opening match. The remaining match of round 3 of V-League 2025 - 2026 today will be the capital derby between Hanoi Police Club and Hanoi Club.
N INH BINH FC CONTINUES TO FLY HIGH
When looking at Da Nang FC's 1 point compared to Ninh Binh FC's 6 absolute points after the first 2 rounds, very few people dared to think that the Han River team would strike strongly and have Boris's opening goal in the 12th minute. But then, Ninh Binh FC's attacking power once again showed itself, Gustavo Henrique scored 2 goals in a row with his excellent jumping power and aerial ability in the 29th and 33rd minutes. Geovane's goal in the 65th minute sealed a convincing 3-1 victory for Ninh Binh FC, helping the "young master" rookie continue to lead the V-League 2025 - 2026 as the only team to maintain an all-win record. Hoang Duc and Duc Chien are still playing very well in the middle of the field alongside the players Ngoc Quang, Bao Toan, Thanh Thinh, Ngoc Bao, Van Lam... In particular, striker Gustavo Henrique is emerging as a strong candidate in the race for the Golden Boot this season, with 4 very diverse goals.
Perhaps Ninh Binh FC will be the "unhappy" team when the V-League will be suspended after round 3 because they are in very good form. But for teams like Thanh Hoa, PVF-CAND or SLNA, it will be a golden break. Former assistant coach Kim Sang-sik, Mr. Choi Won-kwon is feeling the harsh bitterness of the V-League very differently from when he was "headhunting" for the Vietnamese team. His Thanh Hoa club suffered its second consecutive defeat, this time 0-1 at Ha Tinh Stadium and is temporarily at the bottom of the table with only 1 point and a goal difference of -5. The upcoming break will be precious for him to shape his players and playing style. On the contrary, Ha Tinh club of coach Cong Manh is getting into the rhythm with 2 consecutive minimal wins, helping home fans temporarily ease the longing for their senior Nguyen Thanh Cong. PVF-CAND club lost to Nam Dinh club with a score of 1-2 due to an own goal by Eyenga. Interestingly, Hai Phong Club rose to second place in the table after beating SLNA 2-0, with a very sharp tactical mark from coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.
