Striker Nguyen Cong Phuong started the 2024-2025 season quite smoothly in the Binh Phuoc club shirt, after an unsuccessful trip abroad to Japan.
Up to this point, the striker born in 1995 has the best scoring efficiency in the National First Division with 4 goals after 5 matches, 1 goal more than Mach Ngoc Ha (Phu Dong Ninh Binh) and 2 goals more than Nguyen Hoang Duc (Phu Dong Ninh Binh).
In addition, at the National Cup, Cong Phuong also scored the only goal to help Binh Phuoc overcome Ho Chi Minh City Youth to win a ticket to the round of 16.
In addition to the outstanding number of goals, Cong Phuong also brings great attraction to the First Division through each round and each stadium that Binh Phuoc plays.
According to statistics, in the last round 5, the number of spectators coming to Tu Do Stadium (Hue) in the match between the home team Hue and Binh Phuoc was 7,000 people. This was a rare occasion when the B stand of the stadium was almost completely covered, many fans did not mind the rain to come to the stadium to watch Cong Phuong play.
After the match, hundreds of spectators lingered to take pictures and went to the team bus to wave goodbye to the striker from Nghe An. In response, Cong Phuong also greeted and said goodbye to everyone.
Previously, in round 4 when Binh Phuoc hosted Ba Ria - Vung Tau, the team's home stadium also welcomed 5,500 spectators. In round 3, away at Thong Nhat Stadium, there were about 3,500 spectators present to watch the match between Binh Phuoc and Ho Chi Minh City Youth.
Another impressive number of 5,500 spectators at Hoa Binh Stadium in the opening match of the National First Division. This partly proves the attraction of striker Cong Phuong.
Remember that in previous seasons, the National First Division was always in a gloomy situation, except for some important matches such as the promotion or relegation matches.
In addition to Binh Phuoc club, Phu Dong Ninh Binh with the participation of national team players such as Hoang Duc, Van Lam, Thanh Binh, Quoc Viet... also attracted more spectators to the stadium.
Right in the 4th match when the ancient capital team welcomed Hue, Ninh Binh stadium welcomed 10,000 spectators for the first time in recent seasons, much more than many stadiums in V.League.
