After 3 matches in the group stage, Hung Nguyen Youth football team won Group A, winning a ticket to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, after 2 consecutive losses, Hung Nguyen Children entered the final match of the group stage with the mentality of a loser because for them, in this final match, even if they beat their opponent, they still have no chance to enter the next round.
However, although it was just a formality, the Hung Nguyen Children's team played extremely well when they had a 3-goal lead and in the second half, they continued to score 3 more goals. At the end of the match, the Hung Nguyen children had a resounding victory over Con Cuong Children's team.
When asked “Where does the strength and motivation come from when you have such an explosive and amazing match?”, a player of Hung Nguyen Children’s Club shyly replied “At least we have to win to avoid being scolded! And also not to let our seniors (Hung Nguyen Youth Club) “lose face”.
Surprised by the excellence of "team 2"

Therefore, there were teams that registered up to 15 players to compete, but 10 players in the first two group stage matches were just "sitting on the bench". Only in the final round of the group stage with matches that were just formalities, were these players allowed to enter the field one by one, meaning "everyone got to play and touch the ball".
However, surprisingly, it was these “second team” players who played explosively and brilliantly with extremely steady plays and created unexpected victories. For example, the “second team” of Cua Lo Children’s had a 6-3 victory over Nghia Dan Children’s or the “all-reserve team” of Hung Nguyen Children’s had a resounding victory over Con Cuong Children’s…
