At 5:30 p.m. today (September 3), Incheon United will host Daegu FC in round 5 of K.League 2019. After two consecutive losses, coach Jorn Andersen's team is in dire need of a victory to "end the deadline".
Previously, in round 4, Cong Phuong and his teammates suffered a 1-3 loss at Suwon Bluewings. But for Cong Phuong personally, the striker of the Vietnam national team has left a mark.
During the 20 minutes on the field, the Nghe An striker had a shot and assist for his teammates, but unfortunately, he still did not smile on Cong Phuong and his teammates.
Unable to "break the curse" against Suwon, Incheon United will enter the next round of the K.League against Daegu FC. Currently, Cong Phuong's team is ranked below the opponent, if they win all 3 points, Incheon United will rise to 5th or 6th place in the K.League 2019 rankings.
For Daegu FC, this team just suffered a 1-2 week defeat at Gyeongnam FC. Despite a first-half lead from Cesinha, a double from striker Bae Ki-jong from Gyeongnam FC extinguished the home team's hopes of winning points at DGB Daegu Bank Park in the final minutes of extra time.
In the 2018 season, Incheon United and Daegu have met four times, Incheon United won two, a draw and a defeat to their opponents.
In this afternoon's match, Cong Phuong is full of opportunities to start in the starting lineup. Incheon United fans even hope that the Vietnamese striker will score, thereby relieving the psychological state of the new team.
