Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club promoted to V.League

After round 19 of the National First Division, Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club has 49 points, 8 points more than the second-placed Binh Phuoc Club (41 points). Thus, Cong Phuong’s team no longer has a chance to “come back” because they only have 2 matches left (maximum 6 points).

Coach Troussier's favorite student, Nguyen Viet Thang, quickly brought Ninh Binh to the championship, owning a ticket straight to V.League 2025/26 3 rounds in advance.

After round 19 of the First Division, Ninh Binh has 16 wins, 1 draw and no defeats, scoring 34 goals and only conceding 2.

Right from the start of the tournament, Phu Dong Ninh Binh had a strong acceleration to create an increasingly large gap on the race track, worthy of the huge investment in terms of force including many top stars of Vietnamese football.

The coaching staff and players of Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club enjoy the joy of winning the championship three rounds early.

Clubs Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND also set the goal of winning the championship at the beginning of the season but did not have the same stability as their opponent Phu Dong Ninh Binh. At many points in the season, these two opponents had moments of "pause" in the race and were forced to make changes on the coaching bench. Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND will fight for the runner-up position and also own a ticket to the play-off match when they meet in round 19.

The away team Binh Phuoc returned with 1 point after a 0-0 draw against the home team PVF-CAND. Although only 1 point, it was extremely valuable to coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team because they continued to maintain a 7-point gap with PVF-CAND (41 compared to 34).

In theory, coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team have 3 more matches to play – 1 more than their opponents, so they can still create a “comeback”. However, Binh Phuoc will definitely not let their opponents create this “shock” in the remaining stages of the race. Let’s wait for the remaining stages of the race between Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND!

In the bottom group, Hoa Binh and Dong Nai tied 2-2. The draw means that Hoa Binh Club still cannot escape from the clutches of Long An and Hue, and the gap may be shortened by the two opponents playing 1 day later. Dong Nai, with 18 points, has "swum" very close to the shore of relegation...

The remaining matches of round 19 of the 2024/25 National First Division will continue today (May 18).
