My team didn't play well.

Despite being considered the favorites against SLNA in Round 7 of the V-League 2023-2024 while playing at home, Ho Chi Minh City FC, coached by Phung Thanh Phuong, needed a defensive error from the visiting team to secure three points in the final minutes of the match. This fortunate victory propelled Ho Chi Minh City FC into the top four of Vietnam's top football league.

Nevertheless, coach Phung Thanh Phuong admitted that it was not a good match for the home team: "This was not a good game for us. The injuries to our foreign players and the disrupted lineup led to Ho Chi Minh City FC not playing well. However, football requires luck, and today that luck came our way. The whole team would like to express our gratitude, and this is an early Christmas gift for our fans."
