Phan Van Duc also had a match full of effort and tirelessness to put strong pressure on the opponent's goal with his teammates on the attack line. If he had been luckier, the SLNA midfielder could have had a goal of his own if the opposing team's defender had not cleared the ball on the goal line from a delicate toe-poke situation that defeated the Jordanian goalkeeper.
Cong Phuong thanks fans on his birthday
The player currently playing for HAGL ended his 23rd year with a goal and a series of beautiful combinations to help the Vietnam national team dominate the opponent. The smart escape and delicate touch that brought the valuable equalizer for the home team was the player's second goal for the team of coach Park Hang-seo at the 2019 Asian Cup, a tournament that witnessed an effective, calm and mature Cong Phuong.

“A new age has come, there will be challenges waiting ahead. Over the years, Phuong has never stopped striving to contribute throughout her career. It would be a lie to say that she has not felt pressure, but Phuong and her teammates have always found ways to overcome everything to bring certain achievements to the Fatherland and to some extent satisfy the audience.
Thank you, the fans who have always stood by me and encouraged me to overcome all difficulties. All of you have helped me become stronger every day, confidently dedicating myself to my football career. And I believe that because of you, tomorrow's Cong Phuong will be the most perfect version!" - Cong Phuong posted on his fanpage.
