Cong Phuong scored a brace.

On the afternoon of January 10th, Nguyen Cong Phuong once again shone brightly, helping Dong Nai Club maintain their impressive form by defeating Ho Chi Minh City Club 3-1.

In the friendly match held at the Ba Ria stadium, the team from the East started proactively and quickly imposed their playing style. Against a well-organized opponent, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai showed effectiveness in their attacking play. Most notably, Cong Phuong stood out with his high performance since returning from injury.

The opening goal came from a familiar display of technical skill. He neatly dribbled past the defender and placed a precise shot, giving the Ho Chi Minh City FC goalkeeper no chance to save it. A few minutes later, the striker was once again in the right place in the penalty area to capitalize on an opportunity, completing his brace.

Not only Công Phượng, but the new signings also left their mark. Đoàn Hải Quân had an impressive debut, unleashing a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, sending the ball into the net with precision and contributing to the lead. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro sealed the match with a spectacular overhead kick, making the final score 4–1.

This was Dong Nai University's fifth consecutive friendly win in preparation for the upcoming season, reflecting their stability in both playing style and morale. In this context, Cong Phuong was a standout performer. On December 13th, he scored in the 3-0 victory against Van Hien University and provided an assist in the 3-1 win against Quang Ninh on December 26th.
