Cong Phuong not registered in J1 League for 11 consecutive matches; Messi unexpectedly banned from playing

Man City won West Ham

The first half of the match was quite difficult for the home team at Etihad. Haaland was closely marked by the West Ham defense and did not have many chances to score. Meanwhile, the shots of Grealish, Rodri or Alvarez were not accurate enough to bring goals.

After a difficult first half, Man City had a smooth start in the second half. In the 50th minute, from Mahrez's free kick, Ake headed in from close range to open the scoring for the home team.

Man City poured pressure on the field after the opening whistle.

In the 70th minute, receiving a pass from Grealish, Haaland finished with technique to increase the score to 2-0 for the defending champions.

In the 85th minute, Foden sealed a 3-0 victory for Man City with a long-range shot that hit a West Ham player and went into the net, leaving goalkeeper Fabianski helpless.

A 3-star victory over West Ham helped Man City reclaim the top spot in the Premier League from Arsenal with 1 more point and 1 less game played. The away team left the Etihad empty-handed, leaving them with only 34 points and not safe in the relegation race.

Cong Phuong has not been registered in J1 League for 11 consecutive matches.

On the afternoon of May 3 (Hanoi time), Nguyen Cong Phuong was not registered by Yokohama FC to compete in round 11 of J1 League.

In Yokohama FC's 1-0 win over Niigata, Coach Shuhei Yomoda continued to cross outCong Phuong. Competing for a reserve spot at this time is also too difficult for the striker from Nghe An, especially in the context that the home team is at the bottom of the rankings. They have only had one win this season and earned 6 points.

Specifically, the former Hoang Anh Gia Lai striker sat on the bench for the entire 90 minutes when Yokohama FC was defeated by Sanfrecce Hiroshima with a score of 3-1, as well as appearing in 2 minutes of injury time when the home team lost 2-3 to Nagoya.

Vietnam women's team wins big against Malaysia, coach Mai Duc Chung is not satisfied

“We did not play as well as expected. The team missed many opportunities. The players tried their best but with such hot weather, the team could not operate at high intensity well. Anyway, we won and will continue to try in the next matches,” Coach Mai Duc shared at the press conference after the match.

The Vietnamese women's team defeated Malaysia 3-0 in the opening match of the 32nd SEA Games women's football tournament. The goalscorers were Pham Hai Yen, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy and Huynh Nhu. However, the Vietnamese players should have scored more than 3 goals with the chances created throughout the match.

In this match,Coach Mai Duc Chungmade a series of changes in the second half but the three central defenders remained the same until the end of the match. The coach explained: "I have been testing this three central defenders since the training camp in Japan. But I am not really satisfied. I will continue to consider it."
