Disappointed with striker Van Toan; Nam Dinh enters the 1/8 round of the Asian Cup early

At Thien Truong home ground, Nam Dinh FC gathered all the elements to defeat a declining Lee Man, especially since the away team had a poor away record. Nam Dinh FC scored 3 goals in the first half thanks to Lucas Silva, To Van Vu and Nguyen Xuan Son. This was also a 3-0 victory that helped Nam Dinh FC advance to the group stage with 1 match to spare.

Nam Dinh FC is having a terrifying scoring efficiency with 12 goals after 3 matches. Striker Nguyen Xuan Son contributed half of the goals with 6 goals.

In contrast to Nam Dinh FC's terrible form, striker Van Toan has yet to score his first goal this season. Van Toan was taken off the field by coach Vu Hong Viet in the 67th minute.

The former HAGL striker has failed to score in all 8 matches he has played this season. Van Toan had many chances but his finishing was poor and he was unlucky.

The flag is in hand, Mbappe can wave it

With Vinicius Junior injured, the stage at Real Madrid has now been given to Kylian Mbappe. This is the perfect opportunity for the French star to prove his worth.

Just before the big match with Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League, Real Madrid received bad news when star Vinicius was injured. According to the medical team, the 24-year-old striker has a problem with his left thigh muscle and will be out for about 3-4 weeks. This means Vinicius will sit out a number of Los Blancos' matches, including the big match with Liverpool on November 28..

Of course, with a squad full of stars, Real Madrid is not lacking in names that can replace Vinicius to shine. However, the most anticipated player is none other than Mbappe - a player who has yet to show his true ability since arriving at the Bernabeu as a free agent last summer.

Smooth start for Vietnam team

The Vietnam National Team's training trip in Korea soon yielded results, with a 2-0 victory in a friendly match with Ulsan Citizen Club.

The victory over the K.League 3 team at Smart AirDome Gyeong Ju on November 27 did not reflect the true performance of the Vietnamese team at the present time. However, coach Kim Sang-sik and the coaching staff have somewhat reviewed the force, making a preliminary assessment of the professional level of each player through this "warming" friendly match.

After 5 days of training in Korea, the Vietnamese players have improved their physical strength and grasped the game tactics. Players who were previously injured are also recovering their physical condition and meeting the professional requirements to complete the training program created by the coaching staff.

The next two friendly matches against teams playing in the K.League, including Daegu FC (November 29) and Jeonbuk Huyndai Motor FC (December 1), will be a strong "test" to help the Vietnamese team perfect their squad before entering the most prestigious playground in Southeast Asia.
