USSH crowned after 15 years of waiting!

ULIS FC and USSH FC are no strangers to each other as they were also two teams that reached the final of the 2018 season. That is why the two teams did not probe much, starting the match, with the advantage of defending champion and home field, ULIS players "rushed" to attack in order to score an early goal. From last season until the final, ULIS FC was very successful with the tactic of passing the ball high for player To Hoang Huy (number 14) with a height of 1m90 to jump and head the ball to score. Right in the first minutes, they had such an opportunity but could not beat USSH FC goalkeeper Trinh Van Bang. It can be said that goalkeeper Bang's save was the turning point of the match, it made USSH FC's spirit more sublime.

The more they played, the more confident USSH became, while ULIS FC seemed to be at a disadvantage, especially after the situation of pressing the defender and kicking the ball into the crossbar-post junction of player Nguyen Van Thuy (number 10) of USSH FC. The cold wind of Xuan Thuy, along with the pressure and close-range play, and the technique from USSH FC made ULIS feel more "frozen". ULIS's high balls no longer hit the target, instead, a few players only focused on tackling, so the final match was quite tense with many situations where the referee blew the whistle and awarded both teams free kicks. The first half ended with a 0-0 draw.

Entering the second half, USSH FC players still dominated the game, minimizing ULIS's high balls. In such an exciting day of competition, a one-sided match, a goal was only a matter of time for USSH FC. And without keeping the audience waiting long, USSH FC scored 2 goals in a row thanks to player Nguyen Tuan Anh (number 7). The opening goal showed good teamwork, the second goal came from a corner kick that left the opponent no time to react. If he had been luckier, player Nguyen Tuan Anh could have scored 4 goals (then hit the crossbar and the post). But 2-0 was enough for a victory and the gold cup of the tournament belonged to the more deserving team: USSH FC.

USSH FC is a team that does not have many changes in playing style or players, so most opponents can read the "card" or the best players of the match. With the tactical vision of coach ULIS when observing from the semi-final match, it is not difficult for them to recognize the 3 number players Nguyen Tuan Anh, Nguyen Quoc Huy and Dao Tuan Anh of USSH FC, so ULIS made a few changes in the starting lineup in the final match with USSH FC to "lock down" the 3 players above. But the coach and players of ULIS FC do not know that USSH FC is not a team of 1 or 3 players. USSH FC is a team that has fought together for many years, the players compete evenly, have solidarity, consensus and are in harmony with each other. The proof in the final match was that player number 7 played slowly in the midfield, number 8 and number 25 played very low in their positions to pull the ULIS players up, while the sweeper (number 2) or players number 10 and 22 were free to operate comfortably. A persistent fighting spirit and a reasonable tactic brought surprise to ULIS, helping USSH FC pay back the debt of losing in the 2018 final match.

In the final match, on the field, the players brought a passionate match because off the field, there was enthusiastic support from the fans. The strong fan base from 336 Nguyen Trai (Thanh Xuan) including the leaders of the school, leaders of the units, lecturers and students made the cold weather of Cau Giay disappear, adding fire to the players' feet to "dance" on the field.

The gold medal and cup were awarded to the USSH champion after 15 years of waiting. The joy of victory of the men's football team in 2020 was truly complete. Hopefully in the future, the players will maintain their form and achieve even higher achievements!
