Cong Phuong's cousin scored again, helping Ho Chi Minh City Police secure a spectacular victory.
The match between SLNA and CA TP.HCM created a dramatic scenario at Vinh Stadium. The Nghe An team seemed poised to secure three points, leading 2-0 after just 20 minutes, but ultimately suffered a painful comeback defeat, with Quoc Cuong, Cong Phuong's cousin, playing a key role in the outcome.
The turning point came in the 65th minute. Quoc Cuong – Cong Phuong's cousin – unleashed a powerful long-range shot, finding the back of the net and securing a 3-2 comeback victory for the red-shirted team. This was his second consecutive goal in the V.League, following his strike in the previous round's win against Becamex Binh Duong. To date, Quoc Cuong has scored two goals and provided one assist, becoming a standout player in coach Le Huynh Duc's squad.

However, the situation could be reversed for the Vietnamese national team after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided to sanction the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) for submitting forged documents to legitimize seven naturalized players in the second match of Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers on June 10th.
Accordingly, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee issued a 12-month ban from all competitions to the group of seven naturalized players of the Malaysian national team. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) was also fined 350,000 Swiss francs (approximately 10 billion VND), and the seven players – Gabriel Felipe Arrocha, Facundo Tomas Garces, Rodrigo Julian Holgado, Imanol Javier Machuca, Joao Vitor Brandao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal Iraurgui, and Hector Alejandro Hevel Serrano – were each fined an additional 2,000 Swiss francs (approximately 57 million VND).
Most of these players participated in the match against the Vietnamese national team in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Victory and anxiety – that was the mood of PSG after their match against Auxerre in the sixth round of Ligue 1 2025/26.
It was an unforgettable night in Paris, decorated to welcome the "new king" – the winner of the 2025 Ballon d'Or, Ousmane Dembele.
