Cong Phuong is about to achieve his first club-level championship.

Truong Tuoi Dong Nai stands merely one win away from being crowned First Division champions, with Long An at risk of becoming a reluctant participant in the "Green Warriors'" celebration party.

After 20 rounds in the 2025/26 First Division, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai holds a massive advantage in the championship race, leading Bac Ninh by five points with only two rounds remaining. This means that coach Nguyen Viet Thang's side only needs to defeat Long An at home to officially claim the title and secure promotion to the V-League for the 2026/27 season early, without having to consider results from their rivals.

This is exactly the scenario Dong Nai fans have been hoping for. Instead of waiting until the final round or celebrating away from home, coach Nguyen Viet Thang's squad now has the chance to lift the championship trophy in front of thousands of home supporters. A festive atmosphere is already building around the stadium as everyone anticipates a memorable football night.

Looking at the balance of power, Long An is hardly expected to spring a surprise. This club, once a force in Vietnamese football, has only just achieved its survival target and no longer possesses the strength of its peak years. Meanwhile, the lineup of the "Green Warriors" features numerous experienced names like Nguyen Cong Phuong, Luong Xuan Truong and Tran Minh Vuong. Notably, Cong Phuong has just returned from injury and immediately made an impact with a crucial goal. The return of the striker from Nghe An makes Dong Nai's attack more formidable than ever. Against a weaker opponent, the home side is expected to produce a "goal spree" on the day they could be crowned champions.

On the other hand, Bac Ninh has almost no hope of turning the situation around. Even if they win, their efforts would be meaningless if coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team gets the job done against the "Battle Bulls". A more realistic objective for the "Kinh Bac club" now is to keep their key players, maintain form, and prepare for the play-off.

All the advantages are firmly with Truong Tuoi Dong Nai. If they take all three points, Cong Phuong and his teammates will end the season in the most perfect way. This round could become a grand celebration for the "Green Warriors" fans and officially kick off the championship party that has been eagerly awaited for months.
