In the match of round 10 of V-League 2023 taking place on the afternoon of June 1, the away team Thanh Hoa played better in the first half with many dangerous opportunities but could not score. Meanwhile, Binh Duong Club in a rare counterattack in the beginning of the second half was awarded a penalty because the Thanh Hoa goalkeeper fouled Vi Hao in the penalty area.
From the 11m mark, Viet Cuong made no mistake to put his team ahead 1-0. And it was only thanks to a moment of brilliance from foreign player Bruno Cunha with a powerful shot from a very long distance that the Thanh team was able to equalize and leave Binh Duong with 1 point.
Bruno Cunha (yellow shirt) and Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong (16) were the two players who scored.
After the match, Coach Popov praised his colleague on the other side of the battle line: "This was an exciting match and we always tried to play. The home team Binh Duong has a new coach and he has made very good improvements for his team to make it difficult for Thanh Hoa Club."
"We only made one mistake in the situation that led to the penalty, so we lost the first goal. In the first half, we had many opportunities to score but could not take advantage of them. If we had scored first, it would have been easier for us. However, my team played well. I hope the team will continue to play well to score more goals and points before separating from the group," said Mr. Popov.

Meanwhile, Coach Le Huynh Duc has yet to have his first win in the Binh Duong Club shirt. The former coach of Da Nang Club has gone through 3 consecutive draws (all with a score of 1-1), respectively against Khanh Hoa Club, Hanoi Club and now Thanh Hoa Club. Notably, once again, Binh Duong Club took the lead but could not maintain the score in the final stages of the match and lost all 3 points.
Mr. Duc regretted: "Of course I regret this draw. If my players had better physical strength, they could have won. But right now, many players are injured, we are playing with only domestic players, not enough force. As for Tien Linh, he cannot run at high speed, although he has a very fiery spirit. Linh has not fully recovered from his injury. I want him to play longer, don't try too hard. I used to play so I know, just a little carelessness can make the injury worse and last longer."
With the 1-1 draw, Binh Duong FC remains in 13th place with 6 points and will face Da Nang FC in the next match. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa FC still holds the top position with 22 points and will face the second-placed team Cong An Ha Noi (18 points) in round 11.
