Nghe An FC finished the group stage in first place. Coach Dang Van Tuong's team showed their absolute strength. After two resounding victories against U13 Long An (6-0) and U13 HAGL (5-0), they were sure to make it to the quarterfinals. In the final match, U13 SLNA proactively saved their key players' energy. Therefore, in the match against U13 Hanoi, the yellow-shirted players did not exert too much effort and the draw was enough for both teams to get tickets to the next round.

Entering the quarterfinals, U13 SLNA had to face the team that is the leading youth football training center in the country. Therefore, after the opening whistle of the match, both teams entered the match quite cautiously. In this match, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team applied a defensive counter-attacking style of play for their students. This tactic helped U13 SLNA create a number of significant opportunities in front of the opponent's goal.
