Hoang Duc helps Ninh Binh reach top 2, where is Cong Phuong?

On the 26th of October of the first division, Ninh Binh FC won a hard-fought victory at the 19/8 Nha Trang stadium of Khanh Hoa. The two biggest stars in coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team, Dang Van Lam and Nguyen Hoang Duc, both shone. Before Hoang Duc headed in the only goal of the match, Van Lam made many saves to keep Ninh Binh FC's net clean. This team has 3 points, equal to Ba Ria-Vung Tau FC but ranked behind due to losing on goal difference (+1 compared to +3). At home, coach Nguyen Minh Phuong and his team won a big 4-1 victory over Dong Nai .

The hard-fought victory over Khanh Hoa Club signaled a difficult season for Ninh Binh team, even though they have many stars in the squad such as Van Lam, Hoang Duc, Mach Ngoc Ha, Huu Tuan, Quoc Viet, Thanh Thinh, Thanh Binh.

Another team that is also getting a lot of attention is Binh Phuoc Club. However, when Nguyen Cong Phuong was locked down, this team was held to a 0-0 draw by Hoa Binh Club. Coach Nguyen Anh Duc also used many other experienced players such as Le Thanh Binh, Sam Ngoc Duc, Ho Tuan Tai... but was not effective. Binh Phuoc Club still lacks cohesion and needs to improve this factor in the coming time. Cong Phuong and Binh Phuoc ranked 8th in the rankings after round 1.

The remaining championship candidate, PVF-CAND, also failed to win the match on October 27. The heavy rain pouring down on Long An Stadium made it difficult for coach Mauro Jeronimo’s players to play short, technical football, and they had to accept a 0-0 draw. In addition, the match between Hue and Dong Thap also ended in a draw. In this round, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club has not played.
