Vietnam Team Advances to Semifinals with 51 Goals Scored

Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam continues to demonstrate its power by overwhelming Binh Chanh 12-1, increasing the total goals to 51 after three games and earning a ticket to the semifinals of the inaugural Ho Chi Minh City Sports Games 2026 futsal competition.

Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam further solidifies its position as the top contender for the futsal championship at the first Ho Chi Minh City Sports Games 2026 by easily defeating Binh Chanh with a decisive 12-1 score in the quarterfinals. This overwhelming victory not only secured the team's place in the semifinals but also demonstrated its complete superiority in caliber compared to the rest of the tournament.

From the very first minutes, Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam quickly imposed its dominance with a fast-paced, technical, and highly coordinated style of play. With a squad of quality players representing the Thai Son Nam HCMC Club, the team nearly gave no opportunity for the opponent to organize any defense. Within just the first 11 minutes of the first half, they scored six consecutive goals, decisively shaping the match's outcome.

Despite great effort, Binh Chanh was completely overshadowed by the immense pressure from the opponent. The attacking moves of Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam continuously forced the opposing defense into a state of passive resistance. Players such as Doan Phat, Thinh Phat, Gia Hung, and Cong Vien alternately scored, turning the quarterfinal match into a true demonstration of strength by the team rated as the tournament's top contender.

Moving into the second half, the one-sided dominance remained unchanged. Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam continued to maintain a strong attacking intensity and added six more goals to conclude the match with an unbelievable 12-1 score. Meanwhile, Binh Chanh only managed a consolation goal in the 10th minute thanks to Anh Tuan's effort, but that was far too little to make any difference.

In the earlier quarterfinal match, Phu Tho also delivered an impressive performance by defeating Minh Phung Xa Warriors 5-1 to advance. This result confirmed the first semifinal pairing of the tournament: the matchup between Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam and Phu Tho. This is considered the most notable match in the semifinals, as both teams are currently in very good form.

However, based on their performance from the start of the tournament, Chanh Hung Thai Son Nam is still rated significantly higher. The team's balanced lineup, experience in top-level competition, and the explosive form of its players make them the brightest candidate for the championship. If they continue to maintain the destructive strength shown against Binh Chanh, it will be very difficult for Phu Tho to create an upset in the upcoming semifinal.
