Cong Phuong had his second match registered by Yokohama FC since the beginning of the season in the match against Nagoya Grampus in the Japan League Cup. However, unlike the previous time, Cong Phuong was able to play for the Japanese club.

However, it was not until the third minute of stoppage time that Cong Phuong was brought on to replace Tatsuya Hasegawa. However, with little playing time, the Vietnamese striker could not show anything. After 90 minutes of play, Yokohama FC lost to their opponents with a score of 2-3.
In this match, Yokohama FC had a good start. In the 27th minute, they had a wonderful goal by Takumi Nakamura after a long-range shot. Not only that, in the 42nd minute, Yokohama FC increased the score to 2-0 thanks to Sho Ito.
Despite leading 2-0, Yokohama FC could not maintain this result. In the 45th minute, goalkeeper Svend Brodersen fouled striker Noriyoshi Sakai in an aerial challenge, forcing Yokohama FC to concede a penalty. From the 11-meter mark, Sakai himself scored to reduce the score for Nagoya Grampus.

In the second half, Nagoya Grampus put great pressure on Yokohama FC's goal. In the 78th minute, Kensuke Nagai leveled the score at 2-2 for Nagoya Grampus. In the extra time, Noriyoshi Sakai sealed the 3-2 victory, completing the comeback for the home team.
Although Cong Phuong only appeared on the field for three minutes, it was still very meaningful to the Vietnamese striker. It helped him gain more confidence in the road ahead.
Yokohama FC have been playing very poorly this season. They have only won 2 points after 6 matches in the Japanese national championship. In the Japanese League Cup, Cong Phuong's team has lost all three matches.
