Hoang Mai Children's Team won overwhelmingly over Nghia Dan Children's Team.

In the first round, both teams had unfavorable results. While Nhi dong Hoang Mai drew with Nhi dong Tuong Duong, Nhi dong Nghia Dan suffered a 0-3 defeat against Nhi dong Nam Dan.

Therefore, winning is a must for both teams if they do not want to leave the tournament right after the group stage.

With that mindset, both teams were determined and played an open attack right after the opening whistle. Nhi Dong Nghia Dan was the team that had the first chance but number 10 Nguyen Bao Minh was unable to take advantage of it in a face-to-face situation with goalkeeper Le Sy Hoa.

Before they could get excited after this situation, Nghia Dan players were doused with cold water by an undeserved loss. From a long ball into the penalty area by defender Kieu Trung Hai of Nhi Dong Hoang Mai, goalkeeper Hoang Van Tuan made a bad judgment, letting the ball slip through his hands and into the net.

After Nhi Dong Hoang Mai's lucky goal, there were almost no scoring opportunities created in the remaining minutes of the first half. The two teams entered the break with a score of 1-0 in favor of Nhi Dong Hoang Mai.

The second half had barely started when the Hoang Mai Children's players scored a goal to widen the gap. Taking advantage of the Tuong Duong Children's players' lack of concentration, number 10 Phan Van Bao Quoc charged straight into the middle to receive a pass from his teammate and then accurately shot low into the net.

After this goal, Nhi Dong Hoang Mai had a few more scoring opportunities, and in the 37th minute, after a counterattack, number 11 Nguyen Viet Quang Vinh passed the ball past goalkeeper Hoang Van Tuan for number 10 Phan Van Bao Quoc to shoot the ball into an empty net, raising the score to 3-0.

On the Nghia Dan Children's side, their attacks were relatively scattered, so they did not create significant pressure on goalkeeper Le Sy Hoa's goal on the Hoang Mai Children's side.

The most notable opportunity that Nhi Dong Nghia Dan had in this half came in the 31st minute, when number 7 Le Thai Binh rushed in to shoot after goalkeeper Le Sy Hoa failed to catch the ball, but the ball went over the bar.

In the end, Hoang Mai Children's School won Nghia Dan Children's School with a score of 3-0.

With this result, in Group C, Nhi dong Nam Dan is leading and has soon won the right to enter the quarter-finals. Nhi dong Hoang Mai is second with 4 points, Nhi dong Tuong Duong is third with 1 point, and Nhi dong Nghia Dan is sure to stop in the group stage with no points.
