Cong Phuong shines, Binh Phuoc Club continues to 'fly high' in the First Division

On the afternoon of November 20, Binh Phuoc Club will play away at Hue Club in a match within the framework of round 5 of the 2024/2025 National First Division.

Coach Anh Duc's team faced many difficulties against an opponent that was rated lower. In fact, Hue were the ones who had the best chances of the match.

The most promising striker of the away team, Nguyen Cong Phuong, was closely watched by the home team players. At least 2 players always kept close distance from striker number 70 of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc to rush in to block him every time he had the ball at his feet...

During the first 45 minutes of the match, the match speed was very low and there were few attacks from both teams.

Entering the second half, the players from the Southeast region began to push up their formation, thereby creating a few dangerous situations for Hue club's goal.

A typical example is the situation that happened in the 48th minute, Huu Tuan made a one-touch kick in the penalty area, but he sent the ball a bit high over Binh Phuoc's goal.

In the 65th minute, Xuan Dang was alone in the midfield. Seeing a large gap, the Hue player unleashed a thunderous shot, fortunately for the away team, Tan Truong reacted promptly. The veteran goalkeeper also appeared extremely angry with the way his teammates defended.

Being stuck, Binh Phuoc turned to their star, Cong Phuong. In the 73rd minute, the player wearing the number 70 shirt unexpectedly stole the ball from his opponent. He immediately accelerated, dribbled the ball close to the goal and calmly finished with class to open the score of the match. This was Cong Phuong's 5th goal after 6 matches - a convincing performance of this individual player. Unfortunately, he was not called up by coach Kim Sang Sik to the Vietnam national team to prepare for the upcoming AFF Cup.

Binh Phuoc Club played poorly in this match but they still got 3 points thanks to Cong Phuong's brilliance. With a 0-1 away win, Binh Phuoc Club is still in second place in the overall standings with 13 points. The leader is still Phu Dong Ninh Binh with 15 points, after 5 absolute wins./.
