Vietnamese Bronze Ball player and her teammates suffered a 0-11 defeat

The second round of the 2025 National Women's Futsal Championship produced several unexpected results, with the most striking being the significant defeat of the Ho Chi Minh City women's team by Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City.

Entering this year's tournament, the Ho Chi Minh City women's club attracted much attention by having Thuy Trang, the reigning Vietnamese Women's Bronze Ball 2025. With her extensive experience and leadership role, Thuy Trang was expected to bring stability to the team, especially considering that the squad mainly consists of young players. However, the reality on the court revealed major challenges faced by the Ho Chi Minh City women's club when competing at the top futsal level.

From the opening minutes, Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City demonstrated superiority in tactical organization and game control. Their players continuously applied pressure with fast-paced play, high pressing, and precise short passes. The Ho Chi Minh City women's team had very little space to develop their attack, forced to retreat deep into defense for most of the first half. As a result, their goal was breached 5 times before the half ended.

In the second half, despite great efforts to adjust formation and morale, the Ho Chi Minh City women's club could not change the course of the match. Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City maintained a high tempo, exploiting every defensive error of their opponents. The gap in skill level, coordination, and futsal experience became increasingly evident, leading Thuy Trang and her teammates to concede 6 more goals and accept a final 0-11 defeat.

This loss not only affects the Ho Chi Minh City women's club's ranking on the leaderboard but also serves as a warning for their ambitions to compete in the 2025 National Women's Futsal Championship. Despite having an experienced player like Thuy Trang, the team still needs more time to adapt, improve their defense, and strengthen their competitive spirit against strong opponents.

For Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City, this decisive victory proves they are among the top contenders for the championship this season. Their cohesive play, discipline, and strong squad depth clearly set them apart from the rest.
