The play-off match to qualify for V.League 2025-2026 witnessed the endless sadness of Binh Phuoc club. There were opportunities to score, but the First Division representative was unsuccessful.
There, the emotions of disappointment, regret, waiting and sublimation all came to the fans of the Southeast region.
For Nguyen Cong Phuong personally, this match was an unforgettable defeat in his career. The striker born in 1995 could not successfully take 3 direct free kicks in a favorable position and the peak was a penalty kick that could not beat Bui Tien Dung.
For a long time, Binh Phuoc football has not been that close to the V.League. It has been a long time since Binh Phuoc players have seen their fans follow their team so much.
Binh Phuoc's achievements come from the efforts of the whole team, but it cannot be denied that Nguyen Cong Phuong's professional role and great appeal.
The striker from Nghe An ranked second in the list of top scorers in the National First Division, along with teammate Luu Tu Nhan. But in the journey to the play-off ticket of Binh Phuoc, Cong Phuong often scored or assisted in important matches and opened up many victories for his home team.
Despite spending a lot of money to buy many current stars of Vietnamese football, the level of attention of fans for Phu Dong Ninh Binh cannot be compared to Binh Phuoc. The seasonal and frequency rankings on the press say this.
Phu Dong Ninh Binh did not have much difficulty winning the championship with an unbeaten record, but the public's attention turned to Cong Phuong.
A team may not need stars to play well, but the appearance of stars will change the image of the home team. Cong Phuong really makes Binh Phuoc very different with his influence. However, he had to concretize this on the pitch into a promotion ticket.
