Taichung Futuro earned local bragging rights with a 1-0 away win over Taichung Rock FC in the Chinese Taipei Intercity League on August 24, 2025. The solitary goal was enough to separate the two Taichung-based rivals in a closely contested derby match that kicked off at 19:00. The first half was a cagey affair with both teams understandably cautious, leading to a midfield battle with few chances. The breakthrough came in the second period when Taichung Futuro's attacking pressure finally told, as a forward found space in the box to slot home past the Rock FC goalkeeper. The home team responded by throwing more players forward in search of an equalizer, but the Futuro defense, marshaled superbly by their captain, stood firm to see out the victory. This head-to-head result provided a significant boost to Futuro's league campaign, while for Rock FC it was a disappointing defeat in front of their home supporters. The match result also had implications for the mid-table standings, with Futuro climbing above their rivals.
