LPBank V-League 1 2026-2027 opening round: Nam Dinh win 4-0, all seven matches produce winners

Round 1 of the LPBank V-League 1 2026-2027 season ended with a rare sight: all seven matches produced a winner. There were no draws, creating a table with seven teams on three points and seven teams on zero points. Thép Xanh Nam Đinh took top spot with the biggest win of the round, beating Hoang Anh Gia Lai 4-0. Lucao scored a hat-trick, making him the outstanding player of the opening matches. Among the seven teams with three points are Ninh Binh, Cong An TP.HCM, The Cong-Viettel, Cong An Ha Noi, Thanh Hoa and Song Lam Nghe An. Defending champions Cong An Ha Noi are already in that group. Hoang Anh Gia Lai sit bottom with a -4 goal difference. It is only round 1, so the table is not yet a reliable guide to the season. The lack of draws is an interesting statistical point, but more rounds are needed before any strong conclusions can be made. Nam Dinh have sent an early signal, yet many challenges lie ahead in this highly competitive V-League 1 season.
