In the semi-finals, U15 SLNA met U15 SHB Da Nang again, the team they had won with a total score of 4-0 after two matches in the qualifying round. In the heavy rain on the afternoon of June 25, SLNA's attacking style was somewhat limited by the slippery field and many water spots. However, 2 goals from Cai Van Quy and captain Ngo Van Bac helped U15 SLNA defeat U15 SHB Da Nang with a score of 2-0 to win the right to play in the final match.
SLNA U15's opponent in the final match is Thanh Hoa U15, the team they defeated with a score of 2-1 in the group stage. The final match of the 2019 National U15 tournament will take place at 4:00 p.m. on June 28 at Thong Nhat Stadium.
