Hanoi beat SLNA 1-0 on Thursday while the V-League has two more rounds remaining.

Dung struggled to find a slot in Hanoi’s official lineup due to injury and senior Van Cong’s excellent play.

“I am really happy. This is what I have always dreamed of in my career. I want to thank my teammates for their fighting spirit on the pitch. They give everything they have till the very end,” Dung told the media.

“But this has not been a successful season for me. I sat out quite a lot.”

After the V-League, Bui Tien Dung and Hanoi FC will play at the National Cup and the AFC Cup inter-zonal finals against North Korea’s April 25 club on Sept 25 and Oct 2.
