Hieu Hoa Quahaco “repays” Dai Tu

The epic match opened the International 7-a-side Football Tournament – Wika Cup 2024

Nearly 5 months ago, Dai Tu Club defeated Hieu Hoa Quahaco 5-3 after two extra periods (the two main periods were tied 3-3) to reach the top step of the 7-a-side Football Championship of the 2023 Bia Saigon Cup National Championship. (VPL-S4).

And we can feel the determination to “repay the debt” of Hieu Hoa Quahaco Club (winner of the 2023 Hyundai Thanh Cong National 7-a-side Football Cup) when reuniting with Dai Tu in the opening match of the International 7-a-side Football Tournament – Wika Cup 2024 takes place this afternoon.

Players from both teams seemed to understand each other very well and “locked” very tightly the “detonators” on both sides of the front line. In a tense match, the turning point only appeared in the 10th minute.

Viet Thang took full advantage of the mistakes of Dai Tu Club’s defense, escaping into the penalty area, forcing goalkeeper Anh Duc to commit a foul.

From the penalty spot, Le Tuan Anh (No. 7) with a very good left bet put Hieu Hoa Quahaco ahead.

The following period witnessed eye-catching “tit for tat” plays created by the players of both teams, but goalkeepers Anh Duc and Anh Tuan on Hieu Hoa Quahaco’s side both made excellent saves.

It wasn’t until the 32nd minute that Dai Tu Club’s attacking efforts were concretized into a goal. Van Thai escaped down the right sideline before stretching across to “set up” for Hoang Hiep (No. 6) to touch the ball from close range into an empty net to equalize the score 1-1.

In the second half, the dramatic match continued when Hieu Hoa Quahaco once again took the lead in the 39th minute with a solo performance, scoring from the middle of the field to “tear” Dai Tu’s net from substitute Ha Van Son. (number 19).

Just 7 minutes later, Ha Van Son continued to show his scoring charm when receiving an assist from Van Hanh’s free kick, defeating goalkeeper Anh Duc to complete a double to help Hieu Hoa Quahaco increase the gap to 3. -first.

Dai Tu Club’s hope appeared when Van Thai (No. 69) shot decisively from outside the penalty area to shorten the score 2-3 in the 54th minute.

In the second half of the second half, Dai Tu Club increased the pressure strongly. Goalkeeper Anh Duc left his goal in the middle of the field, demonstrating his ability to play with his feet like a perfect “dealer” midfielder and ready to shoot when needed.

Unfortunately, Dai Tu Club was not able to successfully take advantage of ten opportunities to equalize. In the final seconds of extra time of the match, Hieu Hoa Quahaco scored the final 4-2 victory with an accurate shot from home field by Vu Quang Viet (No. 99) when goalkeeper Anh Duc rising so high that it can’t go back.

This victory can be considered a sweet “debt repayment” by Hieu Hoa Quahaco against Dai Tu.

In the previous match, the representative from Thailand – Nongpookao x Nongpoothan Club proved too strong compared to Kickerz Club (Malaysia).

Nongpookao x Nongpoothan Club showed complete dominance throughout the 70 minutes of play and won 6-0 in the end. “Conductor” Surachet Saejaung (No. 13) contributed a hat-trick. The remaining three goals were scored by Sahatat (number 6), Treerapong (number 8) and Krekrit (number 2).

With this result, Nongpookao x Nongpoothan Club (3 points, goal-loss difference of +6) is temporarily leading due to its sub-index better than Hieu Hoa Quahaco (3 points, difference of +2).

The match between Nongpookao x Nongpoothan Club and Hieu Hoa Quahaco taking place at 3:45 pm on January 13 will have the meaning of “early final”.

Meanwhile, Dai Tu Club will have to win all 3 points and score as many goals as possible against the Malaysian representative – Kickerz Club in the match at 2:00 p.m. on January 13 to maintain hope of winning the throne.
