Playing away from home, Ho Chi Minh City FC entered the match with great enthusiasm. In the 3rd minute, from Phi Son's delicate pass, Cong Phuong threatened the home team's defense and was lucky to escape defeat.

In the 21st minute, Phi Son dribbled past goalkeeper Siwarak but was indecisive in his shot and allowed his opponent to retreat and successfully block the shot. Before that, a Buriram defender had fumbled the ball and lost it dangerously after a pass from Vu Anh Tuan.

Creating a series of opportunities, coach Chung Hae Song's team played with excitement in the following minutes. In the 29th minute, from a free kick position about 30m from the goal, Hoang Thinh kicked a dangerous free kick that hit the crossbar.

In the second half, the Thai representative returned in a very impressive way. In the 52nd minute, Bonzidar Bandovic's team opened the score with their first shot on target. Narubaddin's pass crossed for Cuesta to finish close to the goal.

After constant pressure, Buriram finally found the next goal. In the 71st minute, from a corner kick, Bueno seized the opportunity to volley decisively into the net of Ho Chi Minh City Club, raising the score to 2-0.

The efforts that followed gave hope to the Vietnamese representative. In the 76th minute, Ho Chi Minh City FC scored a goal to reduce the score to 1-2. Midfielder Phi Son crossed the ball from the right wing into the 16m50 box, Diakite jumped high to head the ball into Siwarak's net.

After the equalizer, Phi Son and Cong Phuong were given a break. Striker Cong Phuong had an unsuccessful debut match for his new team. Midfielder Tran Phi Son left a big impression.

At the end of the match, the Thai representative with the advantage of leading deliberately delayed the match. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City FC took advantage of the last opportunities. In particular, the most regrettable thing was that Ngoc Thinh's shot found the opponent's goalkeeper.

The match ended with a final score of 2-1 in favor of Buriram FC. The Thai team will continue in the preliminary round of the AFC Champion League 2020 while Ho Chi Minh City FC said goodbye to Asia's top tournament for clubs.

Ho Chi Minh City Club starting lineup:

TM Thanh Thang - Ngoc Duc, Ngoc Thinh, Pape Diakite, Duc Luong - Phi Son, Hoang Thinh, Anh Tuan, Cong Phuong - Matias Jadue, Viktor Prodell.

What opportunities are there for talented midfielder from Nghe An, Tran Phi Son?

(Baonghean.vn) - Among the Nghe An players leaving Vinh Stadium, Tran Phi Son is the name that Vinh Stadium audiences mention the most. But it seems that bad luck has been following this "Nghe An Ronaldo" for the past 2 years, hopefully this year things will be different.
