Round 6 of the Sigma Spring Cup (SSC) 2025: A Storm of Goals, Drama, and Semi-Final Dreams

Kicking off the Round 6 fixtures were two key matches: E1 vs. M3 on Field 1 and E3 vs. Safety on Field 2. These matches were seen as crucial to the outcome of the Electrical group, with E1 and E3 holding the top two positions. On Field 1, E1 welcomed M3 with a must-win mindset to protect their top spot. They took control of the game from the start with an aggressive attacking play. M3 managed to hold on for about 10 minutes before a goalkeeping error allowed E1 to score the opener. With the deadlock broken, E1 played with more freedom and piled on the goals. By the end of the first half, they scored six times. In the second half, E1 switched to a slower, more cautious style to preserve energy and avoid injuries, resulting in fewer attacking plays. Each team added two more goals in a more balanced half. E1’s emphatic victory kept them firmly at the top of the Electrical group.

Meanwhile, on Field 2, E3 faced Safety, whose chances in the group stage had already diminished. With several key players missing, Safety was unable to resist E3's dominance. E3 quickly opened the scoring through a powerful and precise strike from midfielder Xuan Do. Their confidence grew, and striker Kien Thanh doubled the lead shortly after with a slick move past the Safety goalkeeper to tap into an empty net. Safety pulled one back before halftime, but the second half saw E3 reassert control. They scored two more before conceding a late goal, ending the match with a convincing win. This crucial victory puts E3 in a strong position to qualify for the semi-finals, reigniting hopes of a glorious comeback for the Electrical 3 club.

In the other matches of the round, pressure mounted on M&S and E2, especially after both E1 and E3 secured all three points earlier. On Field 1, M&S took on M2, while Field 2 hosted M1 vs. E2. Although M2 fielded a more complete squad than in previous rounds, they were overwhelmed by M&S’s determination. After withstanding early pressure, M2 conceded multiple goals. The first half ended with M&S three goals up. Taking advantage of this cushion and renewed energy after the break, M&S continued to dominate and added three more, only conceding once. The 6–1 win kept M&S within striking distance of the top with just a single-point gap and two group-stage rounds remaining.

On the adjacent field, both M1 and E2 entered their match desperate for a win. For M1, a victory would bring them close to a semi-final berth, while E2 risked falling behind if they failed to take all three points. Both teams showed attacking intent from the outset, creating an open and entertaining match. M1 struck first, but defensive lapses and the brilliance of E2 midfielder Tuan Anh turned the tide with two quick goals. The game heated up even more when M1 equalized 2–2 just before halftime. Early in the second half, M1’s Vuong Tuan received a second yellow card and was sent off, leaving M1 to play with six men against seven. Surprisingly, M1 regained the lead despite being shorthanded. E2 responded by pushing their entire team forward and managed to level the score at 3–3 in an emotional moment. However, their celebrations were short-lived. Just a minute later, another defensive mistake saw them concede to a fourth. Fatigue and lost focus soon followed, and E2 let in a fifth from a swift M1 counterattack. The match ended 5–3 in favor of M1—an electrifying and dramatic game for everyone who witnessed it live.
