In the 55th minute of the match between Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Tinh at Thong Nhat Stadium in round 20 of LPbank V-League 2024/25, Viktor Le made a dangerous cross into the penalty area, the ball flew into the net to the surprise of the home team.

Viktor Le's only goal brought a valuable victory to Ha Tinh. This is the fourth consecutive time Viktor has contributed to goals for the team. The previous three times, he had assists, and this time he scored.

Four times Viktor made his mark, Ha Tinh remained undefeated. Specifically, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team drew with The Cong Viettel, won against HAGL and TP.HCM.

The Russian-born player is increasingly asserting his role as conductor, rhythm keeper and change maker in coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's tactical system.

“I limit my praise for Viktor Le, because I want to let him develop naturally. In recent matches, he has shown high performance and good fighting spirit. That is what I appreciate about Viktor,” coach Thanh Cong commented on his student.

Although he was sparing with praise for his student, coach Thanh Cong admitted that, with his current form, Viktor Le deserves a chance in the Vietnam national team. He said: "Viktor continuously creates and scores goals. If he continues to show this form, he deserves to be in the national team."

In March, Viktor Le was called up to the Vietnam U22 team and started all three matches against South Korea, Uzbekistan and China at an international friendly tournament held in China.

In 2025, U22 Vietnam has many important tasks, specifically defending the championship title at the Southeast Asian U23 tournament, competing for a ticket to the 2026 Asian U23 Finals and reclaiming the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games.

But surely Viktor Le not only wants to contribute to the U22 team, but is also determined to score points to be able to wear the national team jersey to participate in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Coach Kim Sang Sik is likely to be very interested in Viktor Le's case. In the context that the Vietnamese team is lacking new factors with high potential for breakthrough, the 22-year-old player who played outstandingly for Ha Tinh is likely to be called up to prepare for the match against Malaysia next June.
