On the evening of September 21, in the second round of LPBank V.League 2024-2025, despite playing at home, Binh Duong still could not win all 3 points when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Hai Phong. This can be considered a lucky result for Binh Duong as they were completely outplayed in this match.
The highlight of Binh Duong in this match was the third goal after the first two matches of the season by striker Nguyen Tien Linh. In a press conference after the match with Hai Phong, coach Hoang Anh Tuan of Binh Duong did not hesitate to praise Tien Linh's performance.
"As I said before the tournament, Tien Linh is Vietnam's number one striker at the moment. Two matches with 3 goals for Tien Linh is nothing special. Linh is still the mainstay of the team. He is in good form," coach Hoang Anh Tuan shared.
"Apart from Tien Linh, today the player who replaced naturalized player Trung Hieu, Vo Hoang Minh Khoa, also played very well. Today the foreign players did not play to their full potential. Binh Duong players did not play up to expectations," coach Hoang Anh Tuan added.
Regarding the 1-1 draw against Hai Phong, Mr. Tuan said that Binh Duong did not complete the goal.
He said: "Today the team did not achieve the target. A draw at home against Hai Phong was not easy. But as I said, Binh Duong did not complete the initial target."
In the next round, Binh Duong will visit the Hanoi Police field. Regarding this match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan commented: "In theory, Hanoi Police is the strongest team. But in reality, it is different from theory.
Binh Duong is playing their own way and respecting all opponents. Meeting Hanoi Police will not be an easy match at Hang Day Stadium. But I am confident that Binh Duong's force is not weak."
