Crushing Kaya FC, Viettel takes second place in AFC Champion; Ukraine team writes fairy tale at Euro

Crushing Kaya FC, Viettel Club takes second place in AFC Champions League

Facing Kaya FC in the second match is an opportunity for Viettel to win. Kaya is the reigning champion of the Philippines, but this team cannot compare to Viettel in terms of level and stature. At Pathum Thani Stadium, Viettel completely dominated the field and poured 5 goals into Kaya's net, in which striker Venancio Caique shined with a double.

Viettel's destruction of Kaya began in the 2nd minute with Hoang Duc's precise pass in the penalty area. 5 minutes later, Caique finished accurately to double the gap.

Viettel crushed Kaya.

Viettel took the lead and brought down Kaya’s defense with smooth, direct attacks. After gaining the advantage, Viettel slowed down their attack tempo, but still created many scoring opportunities.

In the 49th minute, defender Bui Tien Dung increased the score to 3-0 with his signature aerial strike. Caique marked his brilliant day with a precise diagonal shot, before Vu Minh Tuan sealed the 5-0 victory for the army team when coming off the bench.

By sinking Kaya, Viettel temporarily took second place in the group because in the remaining match, Coach Dusit Charlemsan's Pathum United lost 0-2 to Ulsan Hyundau. Viettel has the same 3 points as Pathum, but is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference. The next 2 direct matches with Pathum will almost certainly decide Viettel's ticket to the next round in this group.

After the case of Tran Huu Dong Trieu and Chau Ngoc QuangHAGLcontinue to lend Hai Phong another player. That is Dung Quang Nho, U22 Vietnam player.

According to the latest information that Bongdaplus has, HAGL has agreed to let Dung Quang Nho play for Hai Phong in the second phase of this year's V.League. Hai Phong Club has more players to hope to have enough strength to compete for relegation this season. Compared to Tran Huu Dong Trieu and Ngoc Quang, Quang Nho is younger, less experienced (21 years old) but there was a time when he was considered the key player of HAGL. Typically, last season, this player played in 10 matches (out of a total of 20 matches) of HAGL. In 9 of those 10 matches, Quang Nho was named in the starting lineup.

With the appearance of Quang Nho, Hai Phong will have more youthful energy in the defense. In addition, the versatility of this player helps the team of Hai Phong to arrange him in different positions depending on their tactical plan. For HAGL, temporarily saying goodbye to Quang Nho does not affect the strength and depth of the force too much. In fact, in this year's season,Coach Kiatisakalso only used Quang Nho for 3 matches, out of a total of 12 rounds of V.League.

Ukraine team writes fairy tale at Euro

Sweden and Ukraine gave fans a high-tempo match with a series of tit-for-tat attacks throughout the 90 minutes of play.

The Ukrainian team was underestimated but still played fairly with their opponents. The Eastern European representative actively moved and executed coherent ball deployment situations from the center to the two wings.

After a series of missed opportunities, the opening goal came to Ukraine in the 27th minute.

In the 43rd minute, Emile Forsberg of Sweden shone with a long-range shot. The ball hit defender Zabarnyi, changed direction and flew into the net, leaving goalkeeper Buschan helpless.

The two teams drew 1-1 after 90 minutes and had to decide the winner in extra time. The yellow shirt defense did everything to hold out until the 120th minute. However, everything collapsed before Forsberg and his teammates in the 120+1 minute. Substitute Artem Dovbyk shone with an accurate header to seal a 2-1 victory for Ukraine.

Shevchenko and his students continue to write fairy tales at Euro 2020. This is the first time since being named Ukraine, this team has reached the quarter-finals of the biggest playground of the continent.

Harry Kane "opened the barrel", England won a historic victory over Germany

The Three Lions took to the field in a 3-4-3 formation, with Trippier, Phillips, Declan Rice and Luke Shaw all playing defensively. Meanwhile, Die Manschaft used their usual 3-4-2-1 formation, but Werner was surprisingly given the starting position as a striker while Goretzka replaced Gundogan as a central midfielder with Kroos to add more steel.

After a quiet first half, the second half started with more excitement with a powerful volley forcing goalkeeper Pickford to show off all of Havertz's talent. In the 70th minute, coach Southgate once again used his "magic" to bring Grealish from the bench onto the field. And as expected, the appearance of the Aston Villa midfielder helped England play more freely and spontaneously.

Kane sealed victory for England

The turning point came in the 75th minute. After a good combination with Grealish, Luke Shaw crossed accurately for Raheem Sterling to finish close to the goal to open the score. Just 6 minutes later, it seemed like Sterling had turned from hero to villain with a careless pass back, but Thomas Muller, in a one-on-one situation with Pickford, shot just wide of the post.

Missing a good chance, Die Mannschaft soon had to pay the price. 4 minutes before the official match time ended, Grealish made a breakthrough with a cross that Kane headed in from close range to seal a 2-0 victory for England against Germany. As for Kane, this was the first goal scored by the striker currently playing for Tottenham at Euro 2020.

For the Three Lions, the victory over their rivals Germany also had historical significance because after more than half a century, since the 1966 World Cup final, England had defeated Germany in a knockout match at a major tournament, and at the same time, it was considered to have paid off the debt of losing in the Euro 1996 semi-finals. Meanwhile, Germany followed the members of the group of death and said goodbye to the tournament early.

The first coach officially lost his job at EURO 2020

Frank de Boer has become the first coach to lose his job atEuro 2020after the Netherlands suffered a shocking loss to the Czech Republic in the round of 16.

Frank de Boer was appointed as head coach of the Netherlands in September last year, replacing Ronald Koeman. He was initially unpopular with Oranje fans due to poor results at Inter Milan, Crystal Palace and Atlanta United.

Ahead of EURO 2020, De Boer was repeatedly criticized by Dutch fans for using a 5-3-2 formation. A group of fans even hired a helicopter to fly over the Dutch team's training ground to demand that the strategist change his tactics.

Frank de Boer has become the first coach to lose his job at EURO 2020.

However, De Boer's Netherlands surprised everyone by winning all 3 matches in Group C and becoming the team with the most goals in the group stage of EURO 2020 (8 goals). It was thought that the Netherlands would continue to advance deep into the tournament when they met the 3rd place team in Group D, the Czech Republic, but right at the most expected moment, De Boer's team disappointed.

In the round of 16 match, De Ligt's silly red card early in the second half ruined the Netherlands' plan. As a result, they lost 0-2 and were eliminated. After the match, De Boer was confident of continuing to lead the Netherlands in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, but the country's football federation (KNVB) did not think so.

The KNVB has now officially terminated De Boer's contract by mutual consent. A KNVB statement said: "Following consultations in Zeist between Nico-Jan Hoogma, Eric Gudde, Frank de Boer and his agent Guido Albers, the parties have decided to part ways with immediate effect."

“De Boer has announced that he does not want to continue, which is also in line with the contract between the two parties, which requires the Netherlands to at least reach the quarter-finals of EURO 2020. Therefore, De Boer's contract ends early”.

Thus, De Boer has become the first coach to lose his job at EURO 2020. Meanwhile, the Netherlands will have about 3 months to find a new coach before regrouping in September.
