Under coach Le Thuy Hai, striker Le Cong Vinh often had to sit on the bench in Binh Duong. Throughout the two tournaments of V-League and AFC Champions League, Cong Vinh only had two starts. Even though he knew he was being "bullied" in the technical area, the striker from Nghe An still silently endured, waiting for the opportunity.

"I used to play for many clubs, but perhaps the beginning of this season in Binh Duong was a bad time for me, because I had to sit on the bench for too long. It was very sad, but I always wanted to be on the field to contribute," Cong Vinh expressed.

That wish of the striker from Nghe Anh came true this afternoon, because after coach Le Thuy Hai left Binh Duong, Cong Vinh was immediately placed in the starting lineup by coach Nguyen Thanh Son in the match against Hai Phong in round 11 of the V-League today, April 27. This is also the third time he has been in the starting lineup since the beginning of the season, before that, in a rare start, Cong Vinh scored against Can Tho.

As if to affirm his own worth and respond to coach Le Thuy Hai's negative opinion about him, Cong Vinh made a great achievement. He took advantage of a mistake by Hai Phong's defense to open the score in the 11th second. This is also considered the fastest goal in V-League history since the tournament was founded in 2000.

In addition to this super-fast goal, the striker with the most goals in V-League history also played aggressively and contributed greatly to the 3-1 victory of the home team at Go Dau Stadium. "Scoring so quickly, I am very happy and honored. I am satisfied with my performance today and hope to score more goals to contribute to Binh Duong's success," Cong Vinh shared after the match.
