Xuan Son was stunned in the stands as Nam Dinh conceded a painful goal

In the stands of Thien Truong, Xuan Son was silent witnessing Nam Dinh being led by Da Nang. The injury rendered him helpless while observing his teammates endure a deeply sorrowful moment.

On the evening of October 27, a somber atmosphere filled Thien Truong Stadium as Nam Dinh unexpectedly fell behind Da Nang in the first half of round 8 of the 2025/26 V-League. Despite being the favored team with home advantage, Nam Dinh started the game lacking sharpness, allowing their opponents to dominate from the early minutes.

In the 14th minute, following a chaotic situation inside the 16m50 area, Phi Hoang swiftly struck a shot that beat goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, putting the visitors ahead. The early goal silenced the crowd at Thien Truong. The camera then immediately focused on the area where striker Xuan Son, Nam Dinh’s shining star, was sitting and watching his teammates.

After suffering a serious injury at the 2024 AFF Cup, Xuan Son is still not ready to return to play. The image of him sitting quietly, with a sorrowful gaze fixed on the familiar pitch, deeply moved Nam Dinh fans. Without Xuan Son, Nam Dinh’s attack clearly lost a key player capable of making breakthroughs and inspiring the team.

In recent social media updates, Xuan Son has been diligently training every day, determined to overcome what is considered the biggest challenge of his career. The severe injury at the 2024 AFF Cup forced the Vietnamese national team striker off the field for many months, but it has not diminished his burning desire to come back.

According to club information, Xuan Son’s recovery is progressing well. If everything goes smoothly, he could make his comeback in the second half of the 2025/26 V-League season. The return of the 1997-born striker is expected to boost Nam Dinh’s performance in the top group battle.

For fans of Thanh Nam, the image of Xuan Son sitting quietly in the stands not only evokes regret but also serves as a reminder of a star who always gave his all for the team colors. Everyone eagerly awaits the day he returns to light up Thien Truong once again.
