High School Football: 16 teams qualify for the quarterfinals.

(Baonghean.vn) - The group stage of the 9th National Phu Dong Sports Festival football tournament saw victories for the Binh Duong and Long An high school boys' football teams in Group C.

The Nghe An High School boys' football team secured a resounding victory against Quang Ninh in their final group stage match.

In Group A of the high school football tournament, Nghệ An defeated Quảng Ninh 6-1, earning 3 points, the same as Đà Nẵng but with a better goal difference, thus securing first place in the group.

Group B originally had four teams, but Quang Ngai violated the tournament regulations, leaving only three at the end of the group stage. Notably, in this group, the remaining three teams all had 3 points after one win and one loss, so tie-breaking criteria had to be used to determine the top two teams. Ho Chi Minh City led Group B with a goal difference of +1, followed by Hanoi with a goal difference of 0, and Dong Thap with a goal difference of -1 in last place.

In Group C, Binh Duong has won all three matches, securing a solid first place with 9 points. Long An is in second place with 6 points.

Thus, in the boys' high school football tournament, the 6 teams that qualified for the quarterfinals have been determined. The remaining 2 positions are occupied by Dong Thap (with 3 points after 1 loss and 1 win) and Can Tho (with 3 points from 1 win and 2 losses) among the 3 teams in 3rd place with the best performance.

The quarter-final matches of the girls' high school football tournament will take place on August 6th.
