Despite leading by two goals, Binh Duong was still held to a 2-2 draw by Ninh Binh in the official match of the quarter-finals of the 2024-2025 National Cup. Home field advantage and bravery helped Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates in Binh Duong overcome the away team in the 11m penalty shootout to win the ticket to the next round.
Tien Linh opened the score of the match
After the match, Tien Linh said that he and Hoang Duc were teammates in the national team but both aimed to devote themselves to their home clubs when competing in the domestic tournament. Therefore, when Binh Duong won a dramatic victory over Ninh Binh, the new Vietnamese Golden Ball expressed his joy because for the first time in 5 years, the home team had reached the semi-finals of the National Cup.
Tien Linh shared: "The whole team played very well, showing spirit, attitude and diligence. This result is completely worthy of the collective efforts over the past time. Hopefully in the upcoming matches, Binh Duong Club and I will compete successfully, achieving good positions in both V-League and National Cup".
Despite having physical problems due to injury, Tien Linh affirmed that it is not too worrying. The striker born in 1997 commented that Binh Duong's upcoming matches are all important, so the whole team needs to show high concentration and determination to complete the competition goals.
