In the previous match, although Vietnam scored 4 goals, the way they attacked still lacked the necessary cohesion. To bring about a favorable result and create confidence for their players, coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan decided to change some personnel in the starting lineup.

The former coach of Hoang Anh Gia Lai decided to push player Le Dinh Long Vu of Song Lam Nghe An to play in the winger position. And put Vi Dinh Thuong on the field from the start to guard the left wing. The Nghe An duo had a very good combination, creating soft and varied wing coordination. However, the opening goal of U17 Vietnam in the 7th minute of the match came from an attack in the middle. Cong Phuong dribbled the ball strongly in front of the opponent's penalty area before unleashing a low and tricky shot to defeat Moktan.

During the first 45 minutes, Vietnam completely dominated the opponent. With many shots on target, threatening Nepal's goal. The starting point for those attacks mainly took place on the left wing, where Dinh Thuong and Long Vu were present.

Vietnam's second goal came exactly as Mr. Tuan had planned for the red team. In the 12th minute, from a free kick by Dinh Thuong, Hoang Son headed the ball into Nepal's net.

By the 16th minute, the score was 3-0 for U17 Vietnam. This time, Dinh Thuong was the one who directly put his name on the scoreboard. The defender wearing the number 3 shirt skillfully dribbled the ball past the opposing defender, before curling the ball into the top corner of the goal, burning Moktan's net.

After Dinh Thuong scored, it was his partner on the left wing who continued to speak up. The striker of Song Lam Nghe An received the ball from Cong Phuong. The player wearing the number 16 shirt placed the ball in the top corner of the net, making the net of U17 Nepal explode.

Entering the second half, it was thought that with the same playing style as the first 45 minutes, U17 Vietnam would still score many more goals. However, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tuan's students wasted many opportunities and only scored 1 more goal to seal a 5-0 victory for U17 Vietnam. With this result, the red shirt team temporarily took the lead in Group F after two matches.

On October 9, U17 Vietnam will compete with U17 Thailand to determine the ranking in this group.
