First Division Dong Thap is the only undefeated club in the young 2006 season as it”s taken its first three games and is now atop the rankings.
With a 1-0 win over Lam Dong on Saturday, Dong Thap has set the mood right to enjoy the break for the Tet lunar New Year festival, before the league resumes play Feb. 4.
Dong Thap earned all nine points after three games, leaving them three points clear of Dong Tam Long An Paints in second place.
Fernando Alves was the author of the only goal scored in the Dong Thap – Lam Dong game at Da Lat Stadium.
Coach Cong Minh seems to have luck on his side in leading Dong Thap in the First Division. Last season, Dong Thap was routinely pummeled in V-League action, leaving the squad anchored to the bottom of the rankings and thus relegated to First Division for the 2006 season.
