Round 13 of the First Division: Cong Phuong's Team Continues to Dominate

Without Cong Phuong, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club continues to win to confirm its top spot in the league table.

Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club continues to win to solidify its leading position in the standings. The race at the top remains exciting as Bac Ninh Club resumes its winning streak, and Quy Nhon United Club joins the competition with impressive form...

Bac Ninh Club arrived at Long An's stadium under pressure to win because, in the previous matchday, Quy Nhon United Club had taken the second position from Coach Foiani's team. Therefore, only a victory could return the team to the second spot and continue to keep hopes alive for chasing the leading Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club. Bac Ninh Club had a successful match, winning 1-0 with the sole goal from Bruno Cunha (71st minute). Bac Ninh Club resumed its winning streak immediately after the Round 12 defeat, still with the familiar narrow victory formula.

And when Bac Ninh Club won, pressure shifted back to the top-ranked Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club, which played later that day (the match started at 18:00), because a loss or draw would make the top race very unpredictable.

PVF-CAND Youth Club cannot yet match the experienced, battle-hardened squad of the home team Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club, but it is a collective capable of surprises (as they once drew 1-1 against Truong Tuoi Dong Nai in the first leg). Facing the challenge, Coach Viet Thang's team demonstrated resilience with a 2-0 victory to reach the milestone of 31 points.

The consecutive victories of the top-group teams keep the championship race exciting. Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club continues to lead but cannot be complacent given the determined pursuit of Bac Ninh Club, or most recently, Quy Nhon United Club.

In the bottom group, Long An Club allowed Dong Thap Club to overtake and temporarily take the 10th position in the standings. Long An Club has 8 points, ranking below Dong Thap Club (9 points), and above Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club (4 points, without any wins).
