Binh Phuoc's heavy defeat to Ninh Binh on the afternoon of June 14 made the competition for a play-off spot extremely tense. In this match, Binh Phuoc did not have the service of Cong Phuong due to injury, while veteran goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong was suspended. Without these two pillars, the Southeast team played erratically and was completely overwhelmed by their opponents.
In the match at the same time, Ho Thanh Minh shone with the only goal in the 75th minute, helping PVF-CAND win 1-0 against Khanh Hoa . These three valuable points helped the young team shorten the gap with Binh Phuoc to only one point.
After round 21, Binh Phuoc has 41 points while PVF-CAND has risen to 40 points. This fragile gap makes the race for second place, which means a play-off spot, become breathless in the final round.
According to the tournament format, the champion of the First Division will be promoted directly, while the second-placed team will play a play-off with the second-to-last team in the V.League to compete for a promotion ticket. Currently, Ninh Binh has won the championship and is certain to be promoted, so the competition between Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND only revolves around the play-off ticket.
In the final round, Binh Phuoc will host Long An at home, while PVF-CAND will also have home advantage against Dong Nai. With only 1 point more, Binh Phuoc must win to decide their own fate, otherwise the whole season's efforts will be in vain.
In the final match, if he cannot recover in time, Cong Phuong will have to witness his team facing the risk of missing out on the dream of playing in the toughest playground in Vietnam.
