In a disappointing outing for Thanh Hoa FC, the team failed to secure a victory against Cambodia's Svay Rieng, ending their match in a 0-0 stalemate during the 2024-25 ASEAN Club Championship. The match took place at Thanh Hoa Stadium on January 22, 2025, and was crucial for the Vietnamese side as they aimed to solidify their position in the tournament's top two. With this draw, Thanh Hoa's hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals took a significant hit.

Despite starting the match with early momentum, Thanh Hoa struggled to capitalize on their home advantage. Key players such as Luiz Antonio and Doan Ngoc Tan showed signs of fatigue, having played four matches in just 14 days. This exhaustion hampered their performance, making it difficult to break through Svay Rieng's defense. The Cambodian team, bolstered by four foreign players, managed to hold their ground, with both goalkeepers—Trinh Xuan Hoang for Thanh Hoa and Vireak Dara for Svay Rieng—making crucial saves to maintain the deadlock.

With three matches completed in Group A, Thanh Hoa currently sits fourth in the standings with six points, trailing behind Thailand’s BG Pathum United and Malaysia’s Terengganu. They face a daunting challenge ahead in their final group match against PSM Makassar on February 5, where a win is essential to keep their quarterfinal hopes alive. The team will need to regroup and find a way to overcome the fatigue and pressure as they prepare for this pivotal encounter.
