The second quarter-final match between Da Nang University of Sports and Ton Duc Thang University was like an action movie, with continuous drama. Da Nang University of Sports took the lead twice (1-0, 2-1), while Ton Duc Thang University played a brave match to equalize twice (1-1, 2-2). The home team even turned the tables when they took the lead 3-2. And for the third time, the match was brought back to the starting line, the representative from Da Nang equalized 3-3 in the last official minute of play (minute 80).
Head coach Tran Trung Kien had a "heart attack" with the way his players won tickets to the semi-finals.
Not only that, the penalty shootout between the two teams was equally thrilling. The team from Da Nang University of Sports and Physical Education had the advantage first, but once again lost the advantage and gave the decision to their opponents. However, in the final kick (the 5th kick), the player from Ton Duc Thang University failed to take the shot. In the end, the team from Da Nang University of Sports and Physical Education won 5-4 after 7 kicks.
After the match, head coach Tran Trung Kien breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted and admitted: "It was really heartbreaking". "When entering the penalty shootout, we determined that the chance was 50-50. The winning team was the team with fewer mistakes. The final result was the effort of the entire team. A match with too many emotions, from joy, to regret, then bursting with emotions. Going through those emotions was really difficult," Mr. Kien shared.

According to head coach Tran Trung Kien, through such dramatic and multi-faceted matches, the coaching staff clearly sees the maturity of the players. "Matches like the one just now are challenges for the players to practice their mettle, from which they will become stronger to continue to conquer the challenges ahead," Mr. Kien emphasized.
"From the beginning, the team of Da Nang University of Sports did not focus on achievements. The school leaders also did not assign achievement targets in this tournament. We will try to play each match one by one, focusing first on the semi-final match. Up to now, we can meet any team. We will put aside our mentality to give the audience an exciting match. If we can make it to the final match, it will be great," said the head coach of the team of Da Nang University of Sports.
