Hoa Xuan Stadium on Sunday witnessed not just a defeat, but a tragedy of the champions. Just four days after a resounding 4-0 victory over Hong Linh Ha Tinh, Nam Dinh entered their away match against Da Nang with the mindset of a hunter. But football never forgives complacency. And on a stormy afternoon, the Nam Dinh team dug their own grave with two red cards within just 54 minutes.
From the early minutes, the match showed signs of tension. In the 19th minute, Nam Dinh defender Van Kien fouled a Da Nang player inside the box. Initially, the referee thought the incident occurred outside, but after consulting VAR, he determined the violation was inside the area. A penalty was awarded, and Van Kien received a direct red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. The visitors played with 10 men from the 19th minute. Coach Vu Hong Viet had to adjust tactics, substituting a forward for a defender. But the worst was yet to come.
Da Nang couldn't immediately capitalize. 11 minutes later, they had a penalty, but the foreign player's shot went wide of the post. It seemed Nam Dinh might escape, but lack of concentration and wrong decisions cost them dearly. In the 54th minute, Nam Dinh striker Da Silva, during an aerial duel, stamped on a Da Nang player's foot. The referee did not hesitate, showing a second red card. Nam Dinh were down to 9 men, and the match was effectively over.
From the 60th to 74th minute, Da Nang surged forward like a wave. They scored three goals in just 14 minutes. The first came from a sharp central combination, the second from a corner kick, and the third from a quick counter-attack. Hoa Xuan Stadium erupted. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh players could only defend helplessly. They had no strength, no spirit, and above all, not enough players.
Evidence instead of argument: Everyone who watched the match clearly saw that Da Nang's victory came not from tactical superiority, but from the opponent's inability. But that doesn't diminish their value. They knew how to exploit the numerical advantage, a skill not every team possesses.
The press room doesn't have my name on the seat, but I have a question: When a team wins 4-0 in the opening round, is there any sign they would collapse due to discipline just a week later? I have followed Nam Dinh since the start of the season, and I noticed one thing: they are a passionate team, but that passion sometimes turns into haste. In round 1, they won by dominating physically and with fast plays. But when facing a more experienced opponent like Da Nang, that haste became a fatal weakness.
An empty stadium, but I can still hear hearts beating: From the stands, I could see the disappointment of Nam Dinh fans. They came with hope but left with sadness. But if there is a lesson from this match, it is that football is not just technique, but also discipline. One careless move, one stupid stamp, and an entire season can be affected.
They call me the team's writer, but I only write with the sweat of men in jerseys: I spoke with some Da Nang players after the match. They weren't overly excited. They said they just did their job. But the truth is, they played a smart game. They didn't rush into unnecessary challenges; they kept the rhythm and waited for the opponent's mistakes. And the mistakes came.
For Nam Dinh, coach Vu Hong Viet will certainly have to work with the players on emotional control. Da Silva, for his stamping, could face a heavier punishment from the VFF Disciplinary Committee. Van Kien will be suspended for at least one match. The team will lose two key players in round 3, and this could affect their momentum.
An empty stadium doesn't take away from the team. It just turns applause into a memory: In round 2, Hoa Xuan Stadium wasn't packed, but those who came witnessed a disciplined performance by Da Nang and a costly lesson for Nam Dinh. Can the champions get back up? The answer will come in round 3, when they host Hai Phong at home. If they make the same mistakes again, their season could be very long and difficult.
Sports writers don't create victories. We only preserve for next season what this season wants to forget: I will remember this match as a reminder: victory comes from patience and discipline, not just talent.
