Defeating U17 S.Khanh Hoa with a score of 1-0 in the second match, U17 SLNA and U17 PVF won 2 tickets in group B to the semi-finals of the National U17 Finals - Thai Son Nam Cup 2015.

Despite a heavy defeat on the opening day against U17 PVF, if they defeat U17 SLNA, Sannatech Khanh Hoa still has a chance to enter the semi-finals. Meanwhile, a victory over their opponent will ensure a place in the knockout round for the young team from Nghe An.

With such a nature, both U17 S.Khanh Hoa and U17 SLNA entered the match with high determination, giving each other a piece of the pie. An open game helped both SLNA and Sanatech.KH have scoring opportunities towards each other's goal. But it was not until the 31st minute that the balance on the field was broken. Taking advantage of the lax defense of the young team from the coastal city, Van Viet escaped into the open and headed the ball into the Sanatech.KH net, putting SLNA ahead 1-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Coach Nguyen Ty made two changes in the hope of helping S.Khanh Hoa become stronger in their attacks. However, SLNA proved their class as a traditional team with a more solid, disciplined and proactive style of play than the young team from the coastal city. Unfortunately, despite many scoring opportunities created, Minh Thao and Van Duc both missed them regrettably.

Playing at a disadvantage, S.Khanh Hoa did not create many dangerous opportunities for SLNA's goal. However, if it were not for the talent of goalkeeper Van Cuong, the Nghe An team would have conceded a goal. A typical example was the situation in the 66th minute when Phuong Liem tapped the ball from a very dangerous distance of 2m but SLNA's goalkeeper still jumped to save the goal for his team.

With a narrow 1-0 victory, U17 SLNA and U17 PVF won 2 tickets in Group B to the semi-finals 1 round early after 2 consecutive wins.
