Who will be promoted to V-League?

Hoang Duc helps Ninh Binh gain a big advantage over Cong Phuong's Binh Phuoc

Up to now, Hoang Duc's Ninh Binh Club has 24 points, leading the 2024-2025 national first division football tournament. Ninh Binh is 4 points ahead of Cong Phuong's Binh Phuoc team, having played 1 match less than their opponent. At the same time, another very important detail is that Hoang Duc's team just won against Cong Phuong's team right on the opponent's field.

Hoang Duc helps Ninh Binh Club temporarily gain an advantage over Cong Phuong's Binh Phuoc team.

The goal of Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc teams when they recruited Hoang Duc and Cong Phuong in the current season is very clear, which is to take advantage of the talent and experience of these players in the top playgrounds, helping their respective home teams, Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc, to be promoted and join the V-League next season.

With this goal, Hoang Duc temporarily performed better than Cong Phuong. Ninh Binh's star shone at the exact moment the Hoa Lu ancient capital team needed him the most, right in the match that Ninh Binh needed to win the most. On the contrary, Cong Phuong was unfortunately absent from Binh Phuoc's squad in last night's match (February 15) due to injury.

The 2024-2025 First Division after 9 rounds is almost just a one-on-one competition between the two teams Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc. Therefore, once Ninh Binh defeated Binh Phuoc in the direct confrontation between the two sides on the evening of February 15, Hoang Duc and his teammates had too many advantages (Ninh Binh has 24 points, 4 points more than Binh Phuoc, Ninh Binh played 1 less match than Binh Phuoc).

Affirming personal brand

On a personal level, Hoang Duc also reaffirmed his star quality. A great player is someone who always knows how to shine in big matches. Before the match between Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc took place, Hoang Duc suffered a minor injury, his physical strength was more or less affected before the ball rolled.

Waiting for the day Cong Phuong returns after injury

However, at the most important moment, Hoang Duc still had a move that surprised everyone: he finished from about 30 meters, leaving experienced goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong helpless, scoring a goal for Ninh Binh. Hoang Duc is always like that, always has moves that are rare in other players of Vietnamese football, always makes decisions that many people can hardly imagine, before the move Hoang Duc made took shape.

In particular, in the context of the Vietnamese team preparing to regroup and carry out international missions in 2025, Hoang Duc's brilliance is an affirmation that he is still ready for the role of "midfield boss" of the Vietnamese team, despite the rise of many excellent young midfielders such as Hai Long ( Hanoi FC), Minh Khoa (Binh Duong)...

As for Cong Phuong, in theory, this player still has a chance to turn the situation around against Hoang Duc in the second leg of the 2024-2025 first division, especially in the rematch between Binh Phuoc and Ninh Binh at Ninh Binh Stadium at the end of the second leg (round 21, June 14). However, from now until then, Cong Phuong must recover well, and at the same time hope that his teammates will do his job, maintaining Binh Phuoc's position in the top group of the first division, until he returns (expected around April).

Cong Phuong is temporarily surpassed by Hoang Duc, now people are waiting for the day Cong Phuong returns, sending a response to Hoang Duc at the end of the season. According to the regulations of the 2024-2025 first division, only the top team and the champion team will be promoted directly to the V-League. The second-placed team in the first division will play a play-off match with the 13th-placed team in the 2024-2025 V-League, to win the right to participate in the 2025-2026 V-League.

The play-off match is a match with many potential risks, so Cong Phuong is certainly very impatient to return, to compete for the top spot in the first division with Hoang Duc!
