Thai Son Bac advances towards the 2026 National Futsal Championship title

Thai Son Bac beat Saigon Titans 3-0 in round 13, bringing them closer to the 2026 HDBank National Futsal Championship title.

Thai Son Bac took a significant step toward the 2026 HDBank National Futsal Championship title following a convincing 3-0 victory over Saigon Titans in round 13. With only one round remaining in the season, this result keeps the capital team at the top of the standings and in control of their own destiny in the race for the championship.

Considered the highlight match of the round, the clash between Saigon Titans and Thai Son Bac was played at a high tempo from the very first minutes. Thai Son Bac took the initiative in ball possession and constantly applied pressure in search of an early goal. However, the well-organized defense of the Ho Chi Minh City representatives made it difficult for the visitors to create truly dangerous opportunities.

Not only did they face fierce resistance from their opponents, but Thai Son Bac also accumulated five team fouls early in the first half, forcing their players to be more cautious. In fact, in the 10th minute, Saigon Titans nearly opened the scoring when goalkeeper Van Tu rushed out imprecisely, but Quang Nguyen timely retreated to clear the ball off the goal line. After several efforts, the turning point finally came in the 18th minute when Da Hai scored from close range following a well-executed set piece, giving Thai Son Bac the lead.

In the second half, Saigon Titans had to push forward in search of an equalizer and even had a great opportunity when they were awarded a 10-meter free kick after their opponents' sixth team foul. However, Thanh Tam failed to beat goalkeeper Van Tu, missing the chance to level the score. Wasting that opportunity cost the home team dearly in the final minutes.

As Saigon Titans pushed forward recklessly, Thai Son Bac exploited the gaps to launch sharp counterattacks. In the final minutes, Quang Nguyen and Cong Dai each scored, sealing a convincing 3-0 victory for the capital team. The valuable three points kept Thai Son Bac alone at the top of the table and brought them very close to the championship with only one round left in the season.

In the other match on July 19, Tan Hiep Hung Ho Chi Minh City beat Hanoi 4-2 to improve their position on the standings. Meanwhile, round 13 will conclude on July 20 with two matches: Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City vs. Tre Ho Chi Minh City, and Sahako vs. Luxury Ha Long. These results will help shape the overall standings ahead of the final round of the season.
