On the evening of February 28, Phu Dong Ninh Binh club visited Ho Chi Minh City Youth in the 11th round of the 2024-2025 Golden Star Beer National First Division, which is also the closing round of the tournament's first leg.
In the first half, Phu Dong Ninh Binh quickly took the upper hand when they opened the scoring in the 3rd minute. Mach Ngoc Ha had an accurate cross for Gia Hung to jump high to head the ball open the score at 1-0.
Although captain Hoang Duc was closely marked by the defenders of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth team, Phu Dong Ninh Binh still maintained an overwhelming game and continued to speed up the match in the second half.
In the 52nd minute, Hoang Duc continued to show his class with a delicate assist, helping Phan Van Hieu head the ball to increase the score to 2-0. In the 72nd minute, a beautiful combination between Dinh Thanh Binh and Gia Hung ended with the third goal, sealing a 3-0 victory for Phu Dong Ninh Binh.
This result helped Phu Dong Ninh Binh club close the first leg of the 2024-2025 First Division with the top spot in the group, earning 30 points after 10 wins. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team showed superior class over the remaining opponents when they only conceded 1 goal after 10 matches, an achievement that no team has achieved in the past.
Tomorrow (March 1), the remaining two teams in the promotion race, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND (both with 20 points), will face each other in the match taking place at 6:00 p.m. at Binh Phuoc Stadium.
