VOV.VN - Local football star Cong Phuong has been named as the top Vietnamese goal scorer following the conclusion of the latest V.League 1 season.

Elsewhere, Cong Phuong makes it into the league’s top 10 goal scorers, with the two top scorers being foreign players Pedro Paulo of Saigon FC and Rimario Gordon of Hanoi FC with 12 goals each.
The V.League 1 concluded on November 8 with Viettel FC lifting the trophy for the first time in their history.
Moving down the table, Hanoi FC and Saigon FC came second and third, respectively.
Than Quang Ninh FC finished fourth, with Ho Chi Minh City FC in fifth place.
