Entering the match, both teams were determined to get points because this was a rather difficult group. Right in the 2nd minute of the match, in the first attack, U19 Viettel opened the score thanks to player Nguyen Sy Chien.

The lack of concentration of the U19 SLNA defense continued to allow U19 Viettel to score the second goal in the 15th minute. The goal was scored by player Nham Manh Dung.

After conceding 2 early goals, it was thought that the U19 SLNA players would lose their spirit and lose control of the game. However, the young players from Nghe An calmly regained control of the game and began to have dangerous attacks towards the U19 Viettel goal. With their efforts, U19 SLNA scored a goal to narrow the gap to 1-2 thanks to player Lai Duc Anh and this was also the result of the first half of the match.

In the second half, both teams were quite cautious. Although there were many attacks in an attempt to equalize, the finishing situations of the SLNA U19 players were not very effective. However, in a rare attacking situation, the SLNA U19 players enjoyed a set piece situation in the 73rd minute, the equalizer came when Nguyen Van Viet jumped high to head the ball after a beautiful free kick attack by SLNA U19.

The game was getting closer and closer to the end, making fans think of a draw for both teams, but in the 90th minute, player Nguyen Huu Thang of Viettel U19 team unexpectedly scored, raising the score to 3-2 for Viettel. The remaining extra time was not enough for SLNA U19 to equalize.

Thus, after the first round, U19 Viettel and U19 HAGL have 3 points, U19 SLNA and U19 Dong Nai are empty-handed. With U19 SLNA, coach Nguyen Dinh Dung and his team must have good results in the next match if they want to keep their hopes of entering the semi-finals alive./.
