Striker Nguyen Van Toan only needed two minutes on the field to score to help Nam Dinh beat host Binh Phuoc 4-0 in the preliminary round of the 2023-2024 National Cup on the evening of November 26.
* Goals: Van Dat 38', Van Toan 47', Van Vy 83', Minh Tuan 90'+2
Facing their opponents in the First Division, Nam Dinh sent many reserve players onto the field, so it was not until the second half that Van Toan was able to enter the field. In the 47th minute, he controlled To Van Vu's pass, turned skillfully in the penalty area and then finished to score, raising the score to 2-0.
This is Van Toan's first goal for Nam Dinh since leaving Seoul E-Land to return home to join the club. Before that, he failed to score in the first three matches of the V-League season with his new team. This is also Van Toan's second goal in 2023, after scoring the opening goal in Vietnam's 2-0 win over the Philippines in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

Before Van Toan scored against Binh Phuoc, Nam Dinh opened the scoring in the 38th minute thanks to Tran Van Dat. This goal helped relieve the away team's psychology after being continuously pressured by the home team Binh Phuoc. Even when they were two goals behind, coach Nguyen Anh Duc's team still pressed forward to attack, creating two dangerous situations in the 53rd and 57th minutes, but defender Luc Xuan Hung missed his shot and goalkeeper Tran Liem Dieu managed to block it, helping Nam Dinh keep a clean sheet.
The match was tied until the 80th minute, before Nam Dinh launched counter-attacks to end the match. In the 83rd minute, from a cross from the right wing, former Hanoi defender Nguyen Van Vy tapped the ball into the net to raise the score to 3-0. In the second minute of injury time, substitute striker Hoang Minh Tuan took advantage of the chaos to score the winning goal, sealing a 4-0 victory.
