Thanh Hoa suffered a painful defeat against Ha Tinh in the 90+3 minute.

Hong Linh Ha Tinh secured a dramatic 1-0 victory against Thanh Hoa thanks to a goal in the 90+3 minute, in the earliest match of Round 15 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26.

Thanh Hoa hosted Hong Linh Ha Tinh in Round 15 of the V-League 2025/26 in a tense and dramatic match. Right from the start, an incident occurred when the visiting team's central defender, Van Hanh, collided heavily with Ngoc My and had to leave the field early due to injury.

In the 19th minute, Thanh Hoa seemed to have a golden opportunity to open the scoring when Rimario fell in the penalty area after a challenge from Tan Tai. However, after consulting VAR, the referee determined that the home team's striker was offside earlier, so no penalty was awarded.

In the second half, the game remained balanced. In the 64th minute,Ha Tinh nearly created a spectacular goal when Trong Hoang unleashed a beautiful long-range shot, but unfortunately, the ball hit the crossbar. The visiting team then created several more dangerous opportunities but still failed to capitalize.

Just when the match seemed destined for a draw, a surprise occurred in injury time. From a perfectly placed cross, Helerson headed the ball powerfully into the net, securing a 1-0 victory for Ha Tinh away at Thanh Hoa.

Minh Vương and Xuân Trường were lackluster, but Đồng Nai maintained their unbeaten streak.

On the afternoon of March 6th, in Round 11 of the 2025-2026 First Division League, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai FC visited Quang Ninh FC's home ground. On a day when key players like Xuan Truong and Minh Vuong failed to make a difference, they were held to a 1-1 draw at Cam Pha Stadium.

In this match, Công Phượng was still unavailable, placing the hopes on Xuân Trường, Minh Vương, and Tự Nhân. However, against Quảng Ninh's aggressive and well-organized style of play, Coach Nguyễn Việt Thắng's star-studded squad struggled to mount effective attacks.

In the 7th minute, the home team unexpectedly scored against the league leaders. Trailing by a goal, Coach Viet Thang's team quickly increased the pressure, but it wasn't until the 24th minute that they reaped the rewards, with an equalizer from a set piece. Minh Vuong delivered a cross from a free kick on the right wing; the ball bounced around in the penalty area, and center-back Tan Sinh quickly finished, bringing the game back to a tie.

Ultimately, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Coach Viet Thang's team maintaining their unbeaten streak of 7 wins and 4 draws. However, the single point puts Dong Nai at risk of having their gap with the chasing pack narrowed.

The pressure of expectations

While Hanoi Police (CAHN) is thriving in the V.League 1 2025/2026 standings with 35 points after 14 rounds, leading the second-placed team by 7 points, paradoxically, the famous young striker Nguyen Dinh Bac has yet to score a goal despite being regularly given opportunities to play by coach Mano Polking.

Dinh Bac has started 9 matches and come on as a substitute in 2 out of a total of 11 appearances in the V.League, scoring only 1 goal (in the AFC Champions League Two). It's not that Dinh Bac didn't try; in most matches, the striker from Nghe An moved actively, pressed hard, and wasn't afraid to shoot, but the goals still eluded him.

According to experts, the V.League is a harsh environment for young players. The differences in physique, experience, and tactics between foreign players or veteran defenders and young players are enormous. At CAHN, he had to fend for himself and compete with top-class stars in Vietnam. Coach Mano Polking also admitted that Dinh Bac "needs more time to truly mature."

Faced with the pressure of expectations, Dinh Bac needs to work harder to break free from the label of "rising star" and to prove that his miracle at the U23 Asian Championship was not just a fleeting moment, but the starting point of his career.

PSG suffered a humiliating defeat at home.

In the early hours of March 7th, PSG lost 1-3 to Monaco at home in round 25 of Ligue 1.

Monaco secured a memorable victory away at Paris Saint-Germain, defeating the home side 3-1, with striker Folarin Balogun playing outstandingly. This also marked the first time since 2021 that the Principality team had won all three points at the Parc des Princes.

This result has made the Ligue 1 title race even more intense. Luis Enrique's PSG still lead the table, but the gap with Lens has narrowed to just four points, while they have played one more game.

Real Madrid narrowly escaped defeat in injury time, continuing to chase Barcelona.

Real Madrid secured a thrilling 2-1 victory against Celta Vigo thanks to a lucky goal in the 90+5th minute from Federico Valverde. This result allows Los Blancos to continue chasing Barcelona.

Real Madrid entered their away match against Celta Vigo aiming for all three points to continue chasing Barcelona in the La Liga title race. Despite the absence of Mbappe due to injury, the Royal team started with great determination and quickly capitalized on their advantage with an early goal.

As the match drew to a close and the draw seemed inevitable, a dramatic turn of events occurred. In the 90+5th minute, Federico Valverde unleashed a long-range shot from outside the penalty area; the ball deflected off a Celta Vigo defender and flew into the net, leaving goalkeeper Radu completely helpless.

A late goal secured a dramatic 2-1 victory for Real Madrid. With 63 points after 27 rounds, coach Arbeloa's team continues to closely trail Barcelona, ​​trailing them by just one point in the standings.
