After the end of round 7, 3/4 of the names participating in the semi-finals have been determined, and the remaining names will be decided in the final series of matches taking place this weekend between E2 and E3. Opening the round 7 match series are two matches at the same time between E1 - M2 and E3 - M1. On stadium number 1, E1 and M2 met again in the second leg with the determination to win or lose after a 0-goal draw in the first leg. With a comfortable spirit after winning first place on the power board and participating in the semi-finals, the E1 players were the ones entering the match with the initiative to hold the ball and deploy attack plans. M2 also showed their discomfort with the very disciplined defense as they are the club conceding the fewest goals in the tournament. A tight match was created and neither club had many truly dangerous opportunities towards the opponent's goal. It was only when the match drifted towards the final minutes, after a calculated free-kick combination by the E1 players, that the balance of the match was broken. This is also the only goal of this match that brought the minimum victory for the E1 players.
E1 brought home 3 points after the encounter with M2
Although M2 Club lost this match, on the field next to them, M1 players were unable to find the opponent's net once, through that, M1 brought 2 tickets in Mechanical Group to the semi-finals into the hands of S and M2, officially becoming the former kings of the Spring Cup. M1 also regretted this round when their direct competitor lost, but they encountered an E3 who was very determined and thirsty for points. Conceding an early goal in the first half and having to face the disadvantage of being short of players due to a red card in the final minutes of the match, the M1 players were unable to find the opponent's net once, accepting the second consecutive defeat and losing points at the decisive stage of the season caused M1 to lose their ticket to the semi-finals of SSC 2024.
In the following series of matches, the two matches between E2 vs S and M3 vs M&S brought a lot of attention to the two Electrical Group teams, putting great pressure on the two teams E2 and M&S. Facing a very strong S team at this time with a strong and uniform young force, the E2 players could only stand for about the first 15 minutes of play before having to receive consecutive goals from the S strikers. At the end of the match with a gap result and unable to create a surprise against S, the E2 has fallen into a difficult position when the gap between them and E3 has increased to 2 points while the group stage has only 1 match left to end.
E2 accepted defeat against the red shirt boys with a score difference of 0-4
On field number 2, M&S is determined to win all 3 points in the confrontation with M3 to try to hold on to the fragile hope in the next round. Once again in this tournament, M&S players were the ones who scored the opening goal and took the lead. But in this match, the same scenario as in previous matches was repeated, M&S players let their opponents score the equalizer at the decisive moment. Losing the regretful victory, M&S no longer has hope to enter the semi-finals of SSC 2024.
