On the evening of June 27, Da Nang club won 2-0 against Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc in the play-off match for a place in V.League 2025-2026. Notably, in this match, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung had an excellent match. In addition to blocking the penalty of striker Nguyen Cong Phuong in the second half, the "goalkeeper" born in 1997 also had many excellent saves to keep the Da Nang net clean.
Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung has researched and carefully researched the penalty shooting habits of Binh Phuoc players. Accordingly, he pointed the penalty kicks of the opposing players at the water bottle. This "secret" helped Bui Tien Dung correctly guess Cong Phuong's shot direction and successfully blocked it.
Sharing after the match, Da Nang coach Le Duc Tuan said that the coaching staff had discussed with the goalkeepers to find a way to counter the opponent, especially penalty situations. He also praised Bui Tien Dung's performance.
He said: "We spent 3 days and 3 nights trying to find a way to counter Binh Phuoc. We studied Cong Phuong and his penalty kicks. We work with Tien Dung and Van Bieu to prepare them for Binh Phuoc's free kicks. Notably, today, Bui Tien Dung caught Cong Phuong on the 11m mark.
Bui Tien Dung is a good reflex goalkeeper. Previously, he limited his entries and exits. When I arrived in Da Nang and worked with Tien Dung, he had greatly improved his playing ability. The style of play I build is high pressing, surrounding the opponent in the opponent's half, so Dung's ability to get in and out and judge the playing style has improved a lot for us".
For his part, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung also said that Da Nang had a lucky season to stay in the V.League. He also thanked the fans for always supporting the team.
"This season is quite lucky for Da Nang. We always take the field with the mentality that every match is a final. From the second leg until now, every match has the same meaning as the final, every match is important to stay in the V.League.
This is a victory to stay in Da Nang's V.League, we want to give this joy to the fans, thank the players' rear, the coaching staff and the leadership, always support us to have the best spirit", Bui Tien Dung shared.
