Becamex Ho Chi Minh City produced a commanding home performance in the Vietnam National First Class League on October 27, 2026, sweeping aside Quang Ninh 4-0 under the lights. The 19:00 kickoff brought a confident, high-tempo display from the hosts, who combined sharp pressing with patient possession and clinical finishing to turn a competitive opening into a one-sided result.

The victory gave Becamex Ho Chi Minh City a significant boost in the league standings and underlined their attacking depth. Quang Ninh, by contrast, were left searching for answers after a night in which they struggled to contain the home side’s movement between the lines and conceded at key moments in the match.

Match overview

Becamex Ho Chi Minh City set the tone from the first whistle. Their midfield pressed aggressively, their full-backs pushed high, and Quang Ninh were forced into rushed clearances. The breakthrough arrived in the 12th minute when Nguyen Duc Huy latched onto a loose ball at the edge of the box and drove a low finish into the bottom corner.

The hosts doubled their advantage in the 34th minute through Tran Minh Quan, who timed his run perfectly to meet a cross from the right and guided a header beyond the goalkeeper. Quang Ninh briefly improved after the interval, but Becamex Ho Chi Minh City managed the game well and struck again in the 58th minute when Hoang Van Nam finished a quick counterattack.

The scoring was completed in the 82nd minute by substitute Pham Tien Dat, whose close-range effort capped a dominant team move. The 4-0 scoreline reflected the hosts’ control of possession, their greater urgency in the final third, and their ability to win second balls in midfield.

Key moments

• 12’ — Nguyen Duc Huy opens the scoring: A loose ball fell to the midfielder, who struck low and accurately from just outside the area.
• 34’ — Tran Minh Quan doubles the lead: A well-worked move down the right ended with a precise cross and a firm header.
• 58’ — Hoang Van Nam makes it 3-0: Becamex Ho Chi Minh City won the ball high and broke quickly, with Van Nam finishing calmly.
• 82’ — Pham Tien Dat completes the rout: The substitute converted from close range after a flowing move cut through the Quang Ninh defense.

Quang Ninh’s best spell came early in the second half, when they pushed more players forward and forced a few set pieces. However, they could not find a breakthrough, and a disallowed effort for offside shortly before the hour mark summed up their frustration. Once Becamex Ho Chi Minh City scored their third, the match lost its competitive edge.

Tactical story

Becamex Ho Chi Minh City lined up with an aggressive 4-3-3 shape that allowed them to press Quang Ninh’s back line and dominate central areas. Their midfield trio rotated well, one player dropping deep to collect the ball while the others pushed into half-spaces. The full-backs provided width, stretching Quang Ninh’s defensive block and creating space for crosses and cutbacks.

Quang Ninh attempted to sit in a compact 5-4-1 block and frustrate the hosts, but they were pulled apart by quick ball circulation. Their transitions were too slow, and when they did win possession, they often lacked support in attack. Becamex Ho Chi Minh City’s counter-pressing was particularly effective, repeatedly winning the ball back within seconds and sustaining pressure.

The home side’s clean sheet was also a product of good defensive discipline. The center-back pairing stayed compact, the goalkeeper commanded the area well, and the midfield screened passes into Quang Ninh’s forwards. It was a complete team performance rather than simply a strong attacking display.

Standout players

Nguyen Duc Huy was central to the victory, setting the tone with the opening goal and linking play intelligently throughout. Tran Minh Quan caused constant problems with his movement and capped his performance with a well-taken header. Hoang Van Nam added energy and directness, while substitute Pham Tien Dat made an immediate impact with the fourth goal.

In defense, Becamex Ho Chi Minh City’s goalkeeper Tran Gia Bao was rarely tested but handled crosses confidently and kept his back line organized. Central defender Vu Hoang Long produced several important interventions, especially during Quang Ninh’s brief second-half surge.

Season impact

The three points strengthen Becamex Ho Chi Minh City’s position in the Vietnam National First Class League standings and give them valuable momentum. A 4-0 win also improves their goal difference, which could prove imp
