The race for the V.League 2019 top scorer title is incredibly tense!
(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of the 19th round, the number of goals scored by the leading strikers is very close. This promises to make the competition for the V.League top scorer title this year extremely fierce.
Coincidentally, Dyachenko of Than Quang Ninh FC, Hoang Vu Samson of Quang Nam FC, Pedro Paulo of Saigon FC, Jeremie Lynch of Hai Phong FC, and Do Merlo of SHB Da Nang FC all scored a goal in the last round of matches.
Currently, Dyachenko and Hoang Vu Samson have scored 9 goals each, while Pedro Paulo has scored 10 – equaling the record of Pape Omar of Hanoi FC.

Close behind Rimario and Do Merlo are Vinicius (SLNA FC), Mac Hong Quan (Than Quang Ninh FC), Ha Minh Tuan (Quang Nam FC), and Nguyen Van Toan (HAGL FC). These strikers have each scored 7 goals. Although they appear to be at a disadvantage compared to their rivals above them, hope is not yet lost for these four players. After all, surprises often happen in football, don't they?

But one fact remains unchanged: the dominance of foreign strikers. It's very difficult for domestic players like Ha Minh Tuan, Nguyen Van Toan, and Mac Hong Quan to surpass their counterparts from other countries. It seems that the case of Nguyen Anh Duc – the top scorer of V.League 2017 – is just an exceptional one.
