Cue Card Answer 2:
It may sound weird that I do not like to play or enjoy any sports but recently I 
had to go at the Pleiku Stadium, in Vietnam, to attend a football match 
between to national rival groups with my cousins. Though I had no intention to 
go there, I enjoyed the match till the last second.
This was the final match between the Hà Nội F.C. and Vicem Hai Phong F.C. 
Both the teams were spirited and performed very well in the early stages and 
this was the time to battle in the final match of the competition. A large

number of crowds gathered in the stadium to enjoy the match and some of the 
national leaders were also present at the event while some of them were 
invited for participating in the prize giving ceremony. The entire stadium 
premise was buzzing with life and people of all walks of life attended there.
The game was set to be started by 4.30 pm. But a majority of the audiences 
entered the stadium around one hour before the game began. In fact, a large 
number of the crowds started gathering from the noon so that they could have 
the seat near the playground to watch the match closely. It was a kind of 
struggle to have the right seat for them. Though there were tickets and seat 
numbers, it appeared that the audiences were unaware of the matter. Some of 
the fans were injured badly while scuffling with the rival team fans. In such a 
situation, we arrived at the stadium and took our seats. Fortunately, our seats 
were located in the upper part of the gallery and thus remained untouched by 
the curious audiences. We had binoculars which made enjoying the math 
easier.
We had bought eight tickets from the ticket counter a day before the match. 
But it was troublesome. One of my cousins, who got the tickets, had to stand in 
a long queue for around half a day. So, we all thanked him heartedly. Before 
entering the stadium, I bought some snacks and beverages as I know the habit 
of my cousins. They love to eat amid such matches at home and they have not 
changed their habits yet. They became glad when they saw me purchasing the 
snacks for them (a bit expensive inside the stadium). When the match began 
with the whistle, all the noises stopped and everyone started watching the 
match with a pin drop silence.
I am not a game or sports lover yet I enjoyed the match. In fact, it was a blind 
show for me and I did not have the least ideas about watching any match in 
the stadium. I have watched cricket and football matches at home on 
television but this was the first time at a stadium. So, I enjoyed the sporting 
event and hope to enjoy such other sporting events in stadiums.
