Last minute drama, U8 age group determines 8 teams to enter the quarterfinals

(Baothanhhoa.vn) - On the afternoon of June 9, the 4th Thanh Hoa Newspaper Children's Football Tournament - 2025 continued to be exciting with the last 2 matches of the group stage for the U8 age group. These are key matches, closing the group stage journey and determining all 8 teams participating in the quarter-finals.

In Group D, the match between U8 Ha Trung and U8 Cam Thuy was as exciting as expected. This was the match that decided the top spot in the group – meaning a direct ticket to the quarterfinals.

U8 Cam Thuy (red shirt) had a favorable start as the team took the lead thanks to their cohesion and more even technique than their opponents.

However, Ha Trung showed a resilient fighting spirit, quickly equalized and then took the lead 2-1.

Once again, the game turned around. In a chaotic situation in front of the goal, Cam Thuy captain Minh Quan fired a beautiful diagonal shot, passing a series of players and defeating goalkeeper Chien Thang of Ha Trung, sealing a dramatic 3-2 victory for Cam Thuy.

This result helped U8 Cam Thuy win 6 absolute points after two matches and enter the quarter-finals as the first team in group D. Meanwhile, U8 Ha Trung sadly stopped when they only won 1 point, unable to enter the group of second-place teams with the best results.

As expected, the final match of the U8 group stage between Hoang Hoa and Ngoc Lac was extremely exciting with consecutive goals scored.

The match kept changing direction and ended in a draw. With this result, Group E ended with the first place belonging to Hoang Hoa (orange shirt).

Thus, the U8 age group has determined 5 teams to win tickets to the quarterfinals as the group winners including: Thanh Hoa City, Thieu Hoa, Thach Thanh, Cam Thuy and Hoang Hoa.

The three best second-place teams that will win the remaining tickets are: Nghi Son, Nhu Thanh and Ngoc Lac. Tomorrow, the Organizing Committee will draw lots to schedule the quarter-finals for the U8 age group.
