The semi-final match between Thanh Chuong Children's School and Tan Ky Children's School this morning was very exciting. Both teams played on equal footing with beautiful and attractive moves. Objectively speaking, both teams were excellent and what the two teams showed throughout the match proved that the two teams were evenly matched. Therefore, with the score tied at 2-2, the match had to go to penalty kicks to determine the winner.

If on the field, the players were under pressure for their performance and for the ticket to the final, then in the stands, the audience was equally nervous.

At that moment, a parent received a call from a relative: "Hello, don't call anymore, my heart is falling out", "Oh my god, I'm waiting for the kick, my blood pressure is high, sometimes I can't breathe", the grandmother of number 2 Nguyen Canh Thuyen, Thanh Chuong Children exclaimed!
