Cong Phuong and 5 times "ripping the net" of West Asian teams

The match between Vietnam and UAE is considered a difficult one for coach Park Hang-seo and his team, in which Cong Phuong is likely to shine.

At the 2019 ASIAN Cup, Cong Phuong scored 2 goals. Interestingly, both goals were scored against West Asian teams Iraq and Jordan.

Cong Phuong's first goal against a West Asian team was the UAE U23. That was in the 2016 AFC U23 Championship finals.
