Hanoi Police beat Ho Chi Minh City Police; Juventus fired coach Igor Tudor; De Bruyne injured

Hanoi police beat Ho Chi Minh City police with 10 people

On the evening of October 27, despite having to play with 10 men on the field, Hanoi Police still won all 3 points in round 8 of V.League 2025/26 when they defeated Ho Chi Minh City Police 1-0 at Hang Day Stadium.

The only goal of the match was scored by striker Alan after a perfect finish that showed the Brazilian striker's class in the 35th minute. Before that, in a dispute, Le Van Do had an unnecessary elbow to the opponent's face, causing the referee to not hesitate to show a direct red card.

The 3 points earned in this match helped coach Mano Polking and his team rise to second place on the rankings with 17 points. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Police ranked fifth with 14 points after 8 rounds.

Nam Dinh still has not known the taste of victory.

Determined to break the winless streak, Nam Dinh proactively pressed high, but it was Da Nang who opened the score.

In the 14th minute, Phi Hoang took advantage of a chaotic situation in the penalty area to finish neatly, helping the away team take a 1-0 lead. After the goal, Da Nang retreated deep to defend, causing many difficulties for Nam Dinh's attack.

In the second half, coach Nguyen Trung Kien and his team increased their attack speed. Opportunities continuously came to Romulo and Lam Ti Phong, but goalkeeper Van Bieu of Da Nang played excellently, denying all efforts of the home team.

It wasn't until the 88th minute that Lucas Alves headed home an equalizer after a precise cross from his teammate. Despite both teams trying hard in the final minutes, the score remained unchanged.

This draw makes Nam Dinh extend their 5-match winless streak, ranking 8th with 8 points, while Da Nang continues to rank at the bottom of the table.

Juventus fired coach Igor Tudor

Juventus's homepage announced that it has officially dismissed coach Igor Tudor and his coaching staff after the team failed to win 8 consecutive matches in all competitions.

The decision to sack coach Tudor came just seven months after the Croatian was appointed to replace Thiago Motta in March, and just hours after the Bianconeri suffered defeat against Lazio on Sunday night.

Juventus started the 2025/26 season well with three wins, but things quickly fell apart. Since the end of September, Juventus have gone eight consecutive games without a win, including five draws and three defeats – including two painful defeats to Como and Lazio in Serie A, in between which was a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Juventus’s attack has gone four games without scoring, while the defense has made a series of silly mistakes.

Juventus youth team coach Massimo Brambilla has been appointed as interim manager of the first team.

De Bruyne seriously injured, long-term leave

Napoli reported bad news that De Bruyne suffered a serious muscle injury and will be out for a long time, after leaving the field in the 37th minute of the 3-1 win over Inter Milan.

Kevin de Bruyne has been diagnosed with a serious thigh injury and is expected to be out for several months. De Bruyne has a history of muscle problems, having suffered a similar injury while at Man City, which kept him out for three months.
