Ninh Binh was awarded the first division championship cup today.
On the rankings, Binh Phuoc Club is currently ranked 2nd with 41 points, 4 points ahead of its pursuer, PVF-CAND. With only 2 more rounds left in the first division, Cong Phuong and his teammates have many advantages to maintain this position, which means they will win a ticket to the play-off match for the 2025-2026 V-League promotion season with the 13th-placed team in the V-League this season. However, if they "stumble" in Ninh Binh while PVF-CAND Club defeats Khanh Hoa (which is likely to happen), coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team will have the gap narrowed to 1 point by their opponents. At this time, Binh Phuoc Club must bear a huge psychological burden before the final round and face the risk of losing the ticket to the play-off match.

If Binh Phuoc FC can get at least 1 point, the race to the V-League next season will end for PVF-CAND FC. Binh Phuoc FC will then be able to rest their key players in the final round and start calculating for the play-off match. However, entering the match with the mindset of a draw will certainly make it much more difficult for Binh Phuoc FC players to play football. Therefore, the cashew nut team must approach the match with a spirit of determination to win.
But there will be a big gap between determination and implementation. On the other side of the battle line, Ninh Binh Club, although already champions, certainly does not want to accept a defeat at home right before the trophy ceremony. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang and his team want to affirm why they deserve to play in the V-League by overcoming one of the most annoying opponents this season. At the same time, Ninh Binh Club also wants to end the season unbeaten. After 18 matches this season, Hoang Duc and his teammates have won 17 and drawn 1. They have also only conceded 2 goals.
The biggest problem for Binh Phuoc FC right now is that they are not sure about the service of Cong Phuong, the main striker, who has always played a pivotal role in the team's journey to second place. He suffered a foot injury during the training session with the Vietnamese national team and is in the process of recovering. In that context, coach Huynh Quoc Anh will have to carefully consider whether to risk using Cong Phuong or keep him for the final round as well as the play-off match (if they can maintain second place). The absence of an experienced player with the ability to create breakthroughs like Cong Phuong will be a big loss, especially in a match where Binh Phuoc FC has to play offensively against an extremely solid home team.
The bigger the challenge, the greater the significance of the victory. Binh Phuoc Club not only has to overcome a strong opponent but also has to overcome itself. And if they can do that, coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team will not only get closer to the V-League dream, but also create one of the most memorable moments of the season: defeating the champion on the day of receiving the trophy. That will be the gift that Cong Phuong and his teammates want to give to Binh Phuoc football fans.
