Cong Phuong's performance was lackluster, but Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club still returned to winning streak.

Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club will host Tre TP.HCM at home on the evening of April 6, in a match that fans are eagerly awaiting in round 13 of the 2024-2025 First Division.

Because this is the match where star striker Nguyen Cong Phuong has just returned to play for Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club after being injured and having to sit out the last 5 matches. In the first 6 matches of the season, he scored 4 goals to lead the "Top scorer" list.

But Cong Phuong played poorly in this match. Not playing for a long time made this 30-year-old striker not have the best feeling for the ball. He had many bad passes. He even received a yellow card in the 89th minute.

Fortunately, the other attacking players of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club still played well and scored. Striker Ho Tuan Tai scored the opening goal for the home team in the 37th minute after running down and shooting diagonally past goalkeeper Duong Van Cuong.

Not accepting defeat, coach Tran Duy Quang made three substitutions at the start of the second half to help Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club find an equalizer. However, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club defended firmly and even counterattacked dangerously.

As a result, in the 74th minute, the home team scored to increase the score to 2-0.

In this goal, Cong Phuong also contributed indirectly. He dribbled on the right wing, was fouled by Duy Bao (HCMC Youth) and lost momentum, but still tried to continue dribbling and passed to Thanh Dat, who pushed the ball to Quoc Loc to score.

In the remaining minutes, both teams had a few more dangerous situations but could not score. In particular, Ho Chi Minh City Youth had an unbelievable miss in the 88th minute, when Quang Hien faced goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong at the 5m50 line and shot the ball over the bar.

The victory helped Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club maintain its 2nd place in the overall standings with 27 points after 12 matches, 3 points more than the team behind, PVF-CAND. The Public Security team beat Hue 3-0 in this round, thereby keeping alive the hope of winning a play-off ticket to compete for promotion with Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club.

The direct promotion ticket to V-League is unlikely to escape the hands of Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club, the team that beat Ba Ria - Vung Tau 5-0 to maintain the record of 12 consecutive wins since the beginning of the tournament.
