Cong Phuong shone on the day Dong Nai was promoted. |
On the evening of May 30th, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai FC officially secured promotion to the V.League 2026-2027 after a 3-0 victory against Long An at their home stadium in Binh Phuoc. The team earned 50 points after 21 matches.
The first half was extremely difficult for the promotion contenders. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang had to sit in the stands to direct the game. Opponents Long An played with more determination than usual.
However, the second half unfolded in a completely different way, especially after striker Nguyen Cong Phuong came on. Cong Phuong was involved in all three goals and directly scored the goal that sealed the final score.
In the 49th minute, Cong Phuong took a corner kick, causing a Long An defender to handle the ball inside the penalty area. Foreign player Alex Sandro successfully converted the penalty kick to open the scoring.

In the 63rd minute, Cong Phuong again took a corner kick, creating an assist for Luong Xuan Truong to score. This was the former Hoang Anh Gia Lai player's first goal of the season.
Finally, the striker from Nghe An scored in the 65th minute after taking advantage of a mistake by the Long An defender. This was his third goal of the season after four matches for Truong Tuoi Dong Nai.
The 3-0 victory secured Trường Tươi Đồng Nai's promotion to the V.League 2026/27 season one round early. They are 5 points ahead of Bắc Ninh FC, even though both teams have one match left to play.
Coach Nguyen Viet Thang has led a First Division team to promotion for the second consecutive season. The previous season, Viet Thang guided Ninh Binh FC to the V-League before leaving the club.
