The developments and results of the 6th round of the Sigma Champions League 2024

In the first series of matches, there were two pairs of matches between M&S - M1 on field number 1 and E2 - E3 on field number 2. On field number 1, with consecutive points in recent rounds, M&S showed great determination to score points in this match even though their opponent was the defending champion M1, a very difficult team to play against and was also finding themselves with a victory with a tennis set in the previous round. After the referee's whistle, the goal came to the M&S players right in the first seconds of the match. This is probably one of the fastest goals in Sigma's football history. Continuing the excitement, just two minutes later the score was raised to 2-0 for the M&S players after a regrettable mistake in the M1 defense. With such a huge advantage after only 3 minutes of play, it was not difficult for the M&S players to take the initiative in the following minutes of play, and they managed to bring home a third goal along with a huge lead when entering the break. In the second half, the M&S players still dominated the M1 team. The continuous attacks always put the M1 team's goal in danger, and it was not difficult for the M&S players to complete the resounding victory with 6 goals, in between which was the honorary goal of the M1 players. This is the best match for M&S players in this year's tournament, thereby bringing them a position in the top competition for the SCL 2024 medal.

On the second field, the internal battle of the E2 - E3 brothers promises to have many surprises when both teams possess many new factors in this year's tournament. Although rated higher in this match, E2 once again showed their unstable performance in the first half. They unexpectedly let E3 score the opening goal after a header from striker Hai Nam, a rather interesting striker when all the goals he scored in this tournament came from headers. This could be an effective attack option for E3 players in the upcoming rounds. E2 can play on par with strong teams, even leading against E1 and Safety in the first half, but unexpectedly fell to teams that are considered underdogs. The first half ended with a 1-goal lead for the E3 players. Changing tactics and shocking the mentality in the second half, the equalizer finally came to the E2 players in the first minutes of the second half. With the equalizer, the whole team's mentality was high when suddenly E2 had to accept a penalty. The drama of the match happened in this situation when the E3 player failed to execute the penalty kick, thereby blowing away the opportunity to score a goal to take the lead for E3, at the same time creating more motivation for the E2 players. And with the opponents near miss, the E2 players took full advantage of the psychological advantage, scoring 2 goals in a row to complete the emotional comeback in this round. The result with a 3-1 victory and helped E2 surpass E3 on the SCL 2024 rankings.

The Sigma Spring Cup 2024 season was full of drama and surprises. However, due to his busy work in Japan, Mr. Satoshi Chida – External Director and Owner of Safety Club - had to return home suddenly and could not attend the historic final match between Safety and M2. Despite the absence of Mr. Chida, the players of the red team did not slack off but played with full determination and solidarity. They fought persistently and took advantage of every opportunity to overcome the strong opponent M2, finally winning convincingly and becoming the glorious champion. During this business trip to Vietnam, the Organizing Committee of the tournament and Safety Club respectfully held a gold medal award ceremony, as a recognition of the great efforts and contributions that Mr. Chida has brought to the team during the past time. Receiving the medal, Mr. Chida was moved to express his deep gratitude to the Organizing Committee, the players, and all members of the team. He also gave his best wishes for the tournament, hoping that this Sigma Champions League season will be a great success, becoming a meaningful and inspiring playground for everyone.

In the second round, the highlight match on the No. 1 field between E1 and Safety in this round received a lot of attention from the fans when both teams are holding the 1st and 2nd positions on the SCL-2024 rankings. Moreover, this round also welcomed the presence of Mr. Satoshi Chida - Safety Club's boss who arranged time during his business trip to Vietnam to come to the field and cheer for all the players as well as fuel the Safety's feet against E1. Entering the match with excitement and not hiding their calculations in this match, both E1 and S played with high determination, which created a feast for the fans. The ball was continuously circulated with high speed and accuracy, both clubs presented their clear tactical plans. In E1, the coordination was wide on both sides, while on the other side, Safety, with its youth, pressed high and attacked directly into the opponent's center and made powerful long shots. Such a balanced and unpredictable match would only be decided after moments of brilliance or the timely brilliance of the star. And E1 did it with coordination from the side and a decisive kick from the young midfielder Hai Nam that blew the roof off Safety's net. The 1-0 lead was maintained by E1 players until half-time. In the second half, changing tactics to preserve the fragile advantage, E1 players let S pressure them back into their own half, and dangerous attacks were continuously created in front of E1's goal. But on a day of tight and focused defense, along with the lack of precision from Safety's feet, the 30 minutes of play in the second half could not witness another goal for both teams. The hard-fought victory of the E1 players could not reflect the situation on the field when the Safety players completely deserved to have points for themselves in this round. Overcoming their opponents in the "6-point" match, E1 Club continued to firmly consolidate the No. 1 position on the SCL-2024 rankings. As for the Safety players, although they lost the match, this was only the first match they lost points in the tournament, the safety gap between them and the teams behind was still quite large and they still completely held the right to decide in this tournament.
