The semi-final match between Thanh Chuong Children's and Tan Ky Children's 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 "equal". Therefore, with the score tied at 2-2, the match had to rely on a penalty shootout to determine the winner.

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 to fly, my blood pressure is high, sometimes I can't breathe", the grandmother of number 2 Nguyen Canh Thuyen, Thanh Chuong Children exclaimed!
