Despite a crushing 0-22 defeat, the Vietnamese football team still asked for signatures from their opponents.

Chanh Hung - Thai Son Nam achieved a resounding 22-0 win against Phu Lam Vietnam Germany University, yet the standout memory was the defeated team cheerfully seeking autographs and posing for pictures alongside national squad members.

In the opening match of the futsal event at the first Ho Chi Minh City Sports Games 2026, Chanh Hung - Thai Son Nam produced the tournament's biggest victory so far by overcoming Phu Lam Vietnam Germany University with an unbelievable 22-0 score. However, what made this match talked about more was not just the goal deluge, but also the emotional scenes after the final whistle.

With a core lineup of national futsal players representing Thai Son Nam HCMC Club, Chanh Hung - Thai Son Nam quickly demonstrated absolute dominance. From the very first minutes, they completely controlled the game, continuously pressing the opponent, a team mainly composed of student and amateur players from Phu Lam Vietnam Germany University.

The first half ended with a 13-0 lead for Chanh Hung - Thai Son Nam. Pivo Nguyen Thinh Phat was the standout name, scoring up to 4 goals, while Chu Van Tien also completed an impressive hat-trick. Their fast-paced combinations, continuous pressing, and clear disparity in skill level kept Vietnam Germany University's goal almost constantly under threat.

Entering the second half, even playing at a more relaxed pace, the team of national players continued to widen the gap. They added 9 more goals to conclude the match with a final 22-0 victory. Dao Minh Quang also had a memorable day, scoring a poker (4 goals) evenly across both halves, contributing to the dominant performance of the championship contender.

Nevertheless, the heavy loss did not sadden the Phu Lam Vietnam Germany University players. For most members accustomed only to student and amateur competitions, facing national team players was already a special experience. The score seemed less important as they directly encountered idols they previously could only watch on television.

Immediately after the match, instead of leaving the field disappointed, Vietnam Germany University players lingered near Chanh Hung - Thai Son Nam's dressing area to request autographs and take commemorative photos. The image of the "losers" happily hunting for opponents' signatures created a beautiful moment in futsal, where sportsmanship and passion transcend all numbers. That also made this 22-0 victory much more memorable.
