Just 1 point is enough but U21 Thanh Nien newspaper does not want to draw. The proof is that right after the opening whistle, Mr. Dinh Van Dung's students increased the speed of the match very high. Surprised by the host's aggressive play, U21 Malaysia appeared quite confused in the defense.
The inevitable consequence of the stormy attack of U21 Thanh Nien newspaper was an early goal in the 15th minute. From a cross from the left wing by Khac Ngoc, Viet Phong had a very delicate header that left goalkeeper Hakim unable to react. 6 minutes later, Quach Tan had a quite technical solo ball on the right wing and easily defeated the goalkeeper of U21 Malaysia in a face-to-face situation.
With an early 2-goal lead, U21 Thanh Nien became even more excited. The attacking pressing style of play across the field, especially the fast and sharp attacks from the wings, put the visitors' goal on red alert. In the 36th minute, from a pass from Quach Tan, Van Thanh in an open position tapped the ball into the net, scoring the third goal for U21 Vietnam.
But because the 3 goals were too easy, the home team became complacent. As a result, U21 Malaysia found a goal to narrow the gap to 1-3 after Akram's close-range shot.
In the second half, U21 Thanh Nien continued to push up the formation to look for more goals. In the 60th minute, Nordin fouled Van Thanh in the penalty area, causing U21 Malaysia to receive a penalty while he himself received a red card. Van Thuan did not miss the opportunity from the penalty spot to raise the score to 4-1 for the home team. 18 minutes later, Khac Ngoc broke through 5 players after a pass from Quach Tan to score another goal for U21 Thanh Nien.
With this resounding victory, U21 Thanh Nien Newspaper finished the group stage with 9 points, taking the top spot. Due to losing 0-1 to U21 Myanmar in the final match, U21 Sydney only finished second with 7 points. Thus, the final match at 6:00 p.m. on October 23 will be a match between U21 Thanh Nien Newspaper and U21 Sydney. Meanwhile, U21 Malaysia and U21 Myanmar will compete for third place at 3:30 p.m. also on October 23.
