Overseas Vietnamese player Trần Thành Trung keeps scoring for the Vietnam team

Midfielder Trần Thành Trung continued to score for Ninh Bình Club in a friendly match against Xuân Thiện Phú Thọ on the afternoon of January 21.

On the afternoon of January 21, at Ninh Bình Arena stadium, Ninh Bình FC secured a 3-2 victory over Xuân Thiện Phú Thọ in a friendly match held as part of preparations for the 2025/26 season comeback.

The Hoa Lư capital team started proactively, executing a clear game plan and creating numerous dangerous chances toward the opponent’s goal. Up front, foreign player Gustavo Henrique continued to demonstrate his goal-scoring instincts by netting a brace, playing a crucial role in the home team’s win.

Additionally, the standout moment of the match once again belonged to overseas Vietnamese midfielder Trần Thành Trung. Born in 2005, he showed clear confidence and maturity by actively working in midfield and scoring Ninh Bình FC’s remaining goal. This goal highlights Thành Trung’s consistent form and his growing ability to integrate well into the Hoa Lư capital team’s colors.

Earlier, during a training camp in Singapore, Trần Thành Trung also scored in Ninh Bình FC’s 2-1 win over Albirex Niigata (Singapore) in a friendly match held on January 9. His continuous impact in these practice games indicates that this young midfielder is making positive progress, becoming one of the notable names for Ninh Bình FC during the pre-season preparations.

According to the schedule, Ninh Bình Club will visit CAHN Club’s stadium on February 1, marking the return of the V-League 2025/26 after a long break. This match is considered an early "final" of the season since the gap between the two teams is just one narrow point (Ninh Bình leads with 27 points, CAHN is second with 26 points but has played one less match).
