To celebrate the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Foundation Day, our School’s Sports Club recently played a friendly foodball match with Tran Phu School’s Football Team. The match was held on 25th of March, at 3p.m on our school’s playground.

The match took place in beautiful weather. Our preliminary practice had been very good. In the first half, almost from the beginning we kept the ball away from our goal; and as near as our opponents’ as possible. By a combination of passing and dribbling and a final shot, the opponents made a goal against us. The play was so fine that all our schoolboys jumped up and cheered Tran Phu School side. In the second half, we played with great determination. Our defender Hung took the ball and passed it very skillfully to our striker Khai who gave a fine kick into the goal. The entire spectators stood up cheering. So it was one against one. The game became tense because both teams tried to win. Towards the end of the game, our captain Hoan took the ball near the opponents’s goal, and he suddently gave a shot straight into the goal. The shot was so tense that the opponent side’s goalkeeper couldn’t save the shot struck at close range. The goal was scored 3 minutes before the game ended. 

Finally, our School’s Sport Club won 2-1.When the game was over, all of us were happy. I felt proud of my schoolboys – They are young, but very promising players.
