Becamex Binh Duong celebrate their 2018 National Cup trophy Before joining the Vietnam national squad for the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup, young goalie Bui Tien Dung was entrusted by manager Duc Thang and listed in the starting lineup. It had seemed to be a golden chance for Dung to show himself off to fans and national coach Park Hang-seo, but he finally caused great disappointments, taking the blame for two of the three goals (16’, 66’) conceded by FLC Thanh Hoa following his careless handling of the ball. The remaining goal for Becamex Binh Duong was scored in the 38th minute, with Ho Sy Giap making use of Dinh Dong’s mistake to fire a shot past keeper Tien Dung.
