To celehrate the HCM Communist Youth Union’s Foundation Day, our school Sports Club recently played a friendly match with Nguyen Khuyen School’s Football Team. The match was held on March 24th at 3:00 pm on the Hoa Lu stadium.
It was a nice day. In the first half, our tearn played pretty well. They tried to keep the ball away from the goal and as near to our rival’s as possible. By a combination of passing and dribbling, the oppcnenis gave a shot into our goal. Fortunately, our goalie could catch the ball. All the stands seemed to be exploded with merry and exciting shouts. And all the schoolboys and girls jumped up and down cheering. In the second half, both teams played beautifully and skilfully and tried to score the goal, but no-one succeeded. Finally it was a draw.
When the game was over, all of us were happy to have a fair game. I think all the schools in the area should hold such a friendly game to tie up and promote the friendship and solidarity together.
