To celebrate the Ho Chi Minh communist Youth Union‘s
Foundation Day, our school Sports Club recently played a friendly
match with Con Cuong School’s Football Team. The match was
held on March 24th, at 3:oo pm on the Con Cuong stadium.
It was a nice day. In the first half, our team played pretty well.
They tried to keep the ball away from the goal and as near to our
rival’s as possible. By a combination of passing and dribbling, the
opponents gave a shot into our goal. Fortunately, our goalie could
catch the ball. All the stands seemed to be exploded with merry and
exciting shouts. And all the schoolboys and girls jumped up and
down cheering. In the second half, both teams played beautifully
and skillfully and tried to score the goal, but no-one succeeded.
Finally, it was a draw.
When the game was over, all of us were happy to have a fair
game, I think all the schools in the area should hold such a
friendly game to tie up and promote the friendship and solidarity
together.
