Cong Phuong scored twice, Binh Phuoc Club beat Khanh Hoa in the first division.

On the evening of November 2, Binh Phuoc Club welcomed Khanh Hoa at home in the match of round 2 of the 2024/24 National First Division.

The match took place in unfavorable weather conditions. Heavy rain forced the organizers to postpone the match by 30 minutes. When the two teams entered the competition, the field became soggy, negatively affecting the quality of the game.

In fact, during the first 45 minutes, there were no notable moves. The players had difficulty in handling simple situations, let alone threatening the opponent's goal. The game only became brighter when the water receded in the second half. At this time, the match needed a star to speak up to break the deadlock and that person was none other than Cong Phuong.

In the 56th minute, the Nghe An player kicked the ball from about 25 meters away into the Khanh Hoa net, causing the audience to burst into laughter. This was also Cong Phuong's first goal in the First Division.

In the following minutes, the game was a tug of war. Khanh Hoa players tried to push up to find an equalizer, which also created an opportunity for Binh Phuoc to counterattack, but the home team's strikers were too unlucky.

Playing at a disadvantage, Khanh Hoa had more difficulties when Cong Hau received a second yellow card after fouling a Binh Phuoc player in the 83rd minute. Accordingly, they were left with only 10 men on the field. Right in the final minute of extra time.

Playing with one more player, in the 90th minute, striker Cong Phuong rushed down with 4 other teammates, Khanh Hoa only had 1 defender. The former Hoang Anh Gia Lai player crossed to his teammate but the finishing was too bad. In the extra minutes, Binh Phuoc could finally double the gap 2-0 with an impressive goal by Cong Phuong. He had a solo play and a beautiful finish.

In the end, Binh Phuoc Club won 2-0. With 4 points after 2 matches, this can be considered a favorable start for this team in this year's season./.
