Cong Phuong did not play, Sint-Truidense lost the opening match

After the news that Cong Phuong was on the registration list of Sint-Truidense in the opening match of the Belgian National Championship against opponent Mouscron Peruwelz, many Vietnamese audiences expected the player born in 1995 to be able to play in the top environment of European football.

Even though Phuong was only on the bench, the attraction of the match did not decrease, many Vietnamese fans found ways to watch the match via the internet.

Despite facing an opponent considered to be of equal strength and playing at home, Sint-Truidense did not start well, they were quickly overwhelmed by Mouscron Peruwelz.

Conceding a goal, Sint-Truidense needed to strengthen their attack and that's when Vietnamese fans hoped Cong Phuong would be included.

However, in the end, the 24-year-old player was not allowed to enter the field despite Sint-Truidense only using 2 substitutions in this match.

Along with that, the team nicknamed De Kanaries was also helpless in finding an equalizer and accepted defeat on the opening day of the Belgian National Championship.

Cong Phuong will have to wait until the second round match against the famous team Club Brugge on August 3 to wait for the opportunity to play./.

In Lagos from July 24 to July 27, Tien Minh was the second seed. He defeated Rahul Bharadwaj (181 BWF) 14-21, 22-20, 21-7, Pratap Singh (114 BWF) 21-16, 21-12, Mohmed Misbun (249 BWF) 21-19, 21-15 and Teck Zhi Soo (70 BWF) 19-21, 21-12, 21-8 to reach the final.

Winning the Lagos International Challenge earned Tien Minh $2,000 and 4,000 points. He will maintain his position in the world's top 60 - a position that is enough to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. Tickets to the Olympics depend on the BWF rankings of the players on April 30, 2020. Although only 38 players were selected to compete in the men's singles event, Tien Minh is almost certain to get a ticket because each country is only allowed to have a maximum of two players participating.

Lagos Badminton Tournament is part of the International Challenge system, belonging to group three of BWF, after the world tournament and World Tour. The money and bonus points of Lagos Challenge are equivalent to the Ciputra Hanoi tournament.
