On the afternoon of November 14 at Lanh Binh Thang Stadium (HCMC), the group stage of the 2023 HDBank National Cup futsal tournament ended with the last two matches of Group B: Sahako Club vs. Hanoi Club and Thai Son Bac Club vs. Luxury Ha Long Club.

Before this match, the runner-up of the national championship, Sahako, and Thai Son Bac had 4 points. Sahako Club played first and was determined to win big against Hanoi team to defend the top position and avoid meeting their rival Thai Son Nam in the semi-finals.

However, the Ho Chi Minh City team only won 5-2 against the visiting Hanoi team, temporarily maintaining the advantage of 7 points and a goal difference of +14. Thai Son Bac Club played later and had to beat Luxury Ha Long by 12 goals to be able to take the top spot from Sahako team.

However, that unbelievable scenario happened when in the next match, coach Acosta Garcia's team won an "unbelievable" 14-2 victory to have 7 points and a goal difference of +15, just enough to take the top spot from Sahako Club.

Thanks to this result, Thai Son Bac Club officially avoided Thai Son Nam Club and only had to meet a more capable team, Cao Bang , in the semi-finals taking place at 6:30 p.m. on November 16. Before that, the first semi-final match at 4 p.m. will be a "fierce battle" between the two biggest forces in Vietnamese futsal at the moment, Sahako Club and Thai Son Nam.

This is a fateful match when Thai Son Nam Club had to sweat to regain the 2023 national championship from Sahako team, after being usurped by this opponent last season. Also in the 2023 HDBank National Futsal Championship, the first and second leg matches also ended in a draw for the two teams.

Most recently, Coach Nguyen Tuan Anh has just left Sahako Club to join "rival" Thai Son Nam Club. This talented coach will face his old team in the 2023 HDBank National Futsal Cup. Old debts and new relationships combined, promise to open up a very exciting match.
