On pitch number 2, the 5th place playoff between M3 and E3 unfolded under the sweltering June sun – where waves of heat rose from the field, making the atmosphere dense and stifling.

Without a loud celebration, just proud eyes and gentle smiles from him and his teammates told the story of resilience and the thirst for victory. The 2-0 scoreline in favor of M3 was not just a result of tactics, but a triumph of will – where they overcame heat and fatigue with all their hearts.

Participating for the first time in the bronze medal match at the Sigma Spring Cup, the MS team wrote an unforgettable historical milestone - with a thrilling score chase and an emotional 4-3 victory over M1. Right from the first seconds after the opening whistle, MS suddenly pushed up their attacking formation and soon got the opening goal thanks to Dinh Huy - a precise and decisive kick that made the audience explode in joy. However, M1 - the experienced team - did not let their opponents rejoice for too long. A sharp and fast counterattack was concluded with a neat finish by Vuong Tuan, bringing the match back to balance after just a few minutes. The climax was pushed when MS unexpectedly received an indirect free kick in the penalty area, after the defender passed the ball back for the goalkeeper to catch. A golden opportunity, the whole stadium held its breath in the moment of preparing to take the kick. But under terrible pressure, the shot could not penetrate the dense defense of M1, leaving the fans of the pink team with choked regret. However, MS did not waver. Still with a fiery fighting spirit, they pressed their opponents with fast and fierce moves. And then, the name Dinh Huy once again resounded proudly - he coolly fired a shot to raise the score to 2-1 amid enthusiastic cheers. But M1 was not an easy opponent to defeat. From a corner kick that seemed not very dangerous, Van Thang swooped in to score a brave close-range shot, bringing the match back to a 2-2 balance. The atmosphere on the field at that time seemed to thicken. The loud cheers and the bustling drumbeats seemed to give more strength to the MS warriors. They rose up fiercely and Dai Duong - the silent hero - had a brave escape, coldly fired a shot to raise the score to 3-2, making the stadium explode. Not letting the old scenario repeat itself, Thanh Hai was there at the right time and place, delicately cushioning the ball to double the gap - the goal was like a steel wall protecting the bronze dream. But M1 did not give up. They fought back in the final minutes, and then Manh Duong suddenly appeared in the penalty area, unleashing a powerful close-range shot, shortening the score to 3-4 - a moment that made the audience's hearts clench, because the match still had so much to look forward to. However, it all stopped there. When the final whistle blew, the MS players collapsed on the field - but not because of fatigue, but because of overwhelming happiness. For the first time in the team's history, they won the prestigious bronze medal - a sweet achievement that was exchanged for blood, sweat, tears and even times of quietly overcoming their own limits. A match that not only left a mark in terms of score, but also deeply engraved in the hearts of viewers about courage, persistent fighting spirit and the desire to live life to the fullest with the round ball.

 
  
 

MS brought home the bronze medal of the SSC tournament for the first time

The final of the Sigma Spring Cup 2025 ended with a breathtaking battle between E1 and S - where every beat seemed to be in sync with every ball, every moment on the field. This was not only a match for the cup, but also a place to measure the bravery, perseverance and desire to conquer the peak after a challenging season. Right from the first minutes, both teams entered the match with an uncompromising spirit, creating a tense, tense match. Possessing a squad of quality players, the red-shirted team S continuously advanced, organizing many dangerous plays. However, on a strangely unlucky day, they missed a series of golden opportunities. Hasty shots, inaccurate plays in decisive moments left the audience speechless with regret. In contrast to S's wasted opportunities, E1 - in pure white - played calmly and calmly. They did not need to control too much of the ball, but each counterattack was as sharp as an arrow. Duong Van Hoan was the one who started the earthquake when he scored the first goal after a delicate through-ball pass between the defender's legs by midfielder Duc Canh, which exploded the stadium and pushed S into a chase. S kept fighting. But the harder they tried, the more confused they became in finishing. And in the moment the defense was vulnerable in the middle of the second half, Van Dat of E1 - like a cold-blooded assassin - punished the mistake with a goal to raise the score to 2-0. From then on, E1 completely controlled the game. Van Dat continued to shine with a beautiful volley and then completed his hat-trick in the final minutes, extinguishing all hopes of the red team. Although they had an honorary goal after a beautiful cross-angle kick by Van Tuan, for S, it was a little late consolation in a match where they had missed too many opportunities. A match where if they had been luckier, if they had been more precise, the story might have been different. But football is always like that - cruel but fair. For E1, the 4-1 victory was more than just a victory. It was the emotional culmination of an extraordinary journey: starting the season with a painful defeat in the opening match against Safety, then waking up, rising and winning 9 consecutive matches until the end of the tournament. Each victory is a difficult step, and today's glorious climax is a worthy reward for perseverance, solidarity and reasonable tactics in each match.

This wasn’t just a victory. It was youth, it was aspiration, it was an epic ballad named: E1 – the champions.

The closing ceremony unfolded in the soft light of dusk but remained solemn and moving. As each name was called, as each sparkling cup and medal was handed to the deserving, it was not just glory, but recognition – for hours of training, months of competition, and years of loyalty in Sigma colors.

“The final match today concludes a more than two-month journey filled with emotion, showcasing the spirit of sportsmanship, unity, and passion of every Sigma member. Thank you all for making this a truly meaningful and spectacularly successful season!” Mr. Nguyen Quang Ngoc, General Director of the company, shared emotionally.

As the sun slowly disappeared behind the trees, players, fans, and the organizing team raised their glasses at the closing party held at Bang B Culinary Center. Amidst clinking glasses, stories were retold – of nearly-made goals, painful yet unforgettable falls, and moments when unexpected heroes stepped out of the shadows.

The Sigma Spring Cup 2025 officially concludes, not just as a sports tournament, but as an emotional journey, where every heart once beat in unison: the heartbeat of belief, of Sigma spirit, and of a flame that never goes out.
