Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc FC lost 0-2 to SHB Da Nang in the play-off match for the right to play in the V-League 2025-2026, which took place on the evening of June 27th at Thong Nhat Stadium.
Despite high expectations, Cong Phuong delivered a lackluster performance in the most important match of the season. He missed three free kicks, even though he had previously scored three goals from free kicks in the 2024-2025 First Division League.
And the climax came in the 79th minute when Cong Phuong missed a penalty kick, failing to beat goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung. It squandered the chance to equalize for Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc FC, making the score 1-1. Immediately after this miss, SHB Da Nang FC scored to make it 2-0, extinguishing any hope of a comeback for the team from the Southeast region.
Many fans criticized Cong Phuong after this match. They mocked him for giving up the penalty kick to his younger teammate Luu Tu Nhan in the final match of the 2024-2025 First Division League to win the "Top Scorer" title, only to then squander all the team's and fans' expectations when he took the penalty himself.
Even coach Huynh Quoc Anh stated after the match that if Cong Phuong had scored from the penalty spot, the outcome of the game would have been different.

Cong Phuong had no intention of missing the penalty. He joined Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc FC at the beginning of the season with the aspiration of helping this young team get promoted.
Therefore, when his team failed in the promotion play-off, especially after missing a penalty, Cong Phuong was extremely upset. The image of Cong Phuong sadly clinging to the awning of the team's technical area after the match said it all.
But public opinion and fans don't care about that. They only know that Công Phượng was the one who missed the penalty, causing Trường Tươi Bình Phước FC to lose their promotion dream.
While everyone seems to forget, Cong Phuong played a significant role in Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc FC's journey to finishing as runners-up in the 2024-2025 First Division League. He scored 7 goals along with numerous assists and initiated attacks, paving the way for victories for his team.
Immediately after the victory against Long An FC in the final match of the 2024-2025 First Division League at Binh Phuoc Stadium, Cong Phuong was surrounded by a large crowd of fans asking for autographs and taking souvenir photos.
But just one moment of bad luck for Cong Phuong from the penalty spot, and many immediately forgot their previous hero. Because without Cong Phuong, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club might not have made it to the play-off match.
So please be fair to Cong Phuong.
