V.League 2024-2025 Top Scorer Ranking: The Rise of Domestic Strikers
V.League 2024-2025 is witnessing surprising developments in the race for the top scorer title. After 13 rounds, it is not the usual foreign players, but the domestic players who are shining brightly.
Who is dominating the race for top scorer in V.League 2024-2025?
The race for the title of V.League 2024-2025 Golden Boot is taking place in an exciting manner with many surprises. Not the foreign players or famous strikers, but Nguyen Tien Linh is the one leading the scoring list after the first leg.
With 9 goals in 13 matches, Tien Linh is showing stable form and amazing finishing ability. It is worth noting that of those, only 2 goals came from the penalty spot, the rest came from open play, confirming the striker's sharp scoring instinct.
Another big surprise came from Nguyen Xuan Son – a player on the roster of Nam Dinh Club. Despite only playing 6 matches, Xuan Son still managed to score 7 goals, an impressive achievement considering he had to sit out due to injury since the AFF Cup 2024 final.

The race for the V.League top scorer title still has many unknowns.
Besides Tien Linh and Xuan Son, Leo Artur (CAHN) and Lucao (Hai Phong) are also following closely with 7 goals. In particular, Leo Artur – despite being an attacking midfielder – still has an amazing scoring efficiency, showing his diverse scoring ability.
In addition, Nguyen Van Quyet (Hanoi) or Amarildo (Viettel) are also quietly joining the leading group. With only 4-5 goals, they can still create a surprise if they maintain their impressive form in the return leg.
Leading the list with 9 goals, Tien Linh has a great chance to win the title of "V.League Top Scorer". If he continues to maintain his form, he can become a rare domestic player to reach the milestone of over 15 goals/season - something very few Vietnamese players have achieved in V.League history.
However, with the gap so close, the race is still very unpredictable. The upcoming matches will be the real challenge, as the teams enter an important stage of the season.
