Before entering the final round, U19 SLNA has 3 points with one loss and one win. Just a draw, the Nghe team will get a ticket to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, U19 HAGL must have a win if they do not want to be eliminated.
However, U19 SLNA did more than what fans expected. Coach Nguyen Dinh Dung arranged a team with a strong offensive force and had no intention of playing defensively. In the first minutes, with the mobility of captain midfielder Dang Van Lam, U19 SLNA created many well-organized and coherent attacks. By the 12th minute, the result came to U19 SLNA. From an attack on the left wing, Mai Sy Hoang had an accurate cross for Tran Ngoc Anh to cut in and head the ball into the net of U19 HAGL.
In the 34th minute, the U19 HAGL goal continued to be threatened by Tran Tien Anh's acceleration. The SLNA player skillfully passed the ball and fired a powerful shot, but unfortunately the ball went straight to HAGL goalkeeper Pham Dinh Long.

The difficulties were even more complicated for U19 HAGL when they conceded a goal in the 60th minute. Starting from Dang Van Lam's delicate handling of the ball, Mai Sy Hoang passed the ball to Lai Duc Anh to head the ball across the face, scoring the third goal for U19 SLNA.
Continuing the momentum, Tran Ngoc Anh once again left his mark with a favorable pass for Lai Duc Anh to accelerate, break the offside trap and finish accurately to raise the score to 3 - 0 in the 73rd minute. This was Duc Anh's 4th goal, helping him lead the tournament's top scorer list.
Not stopping there, in the 86th minute, Tran Ngoc Anh ended a satisfying match of U19 SLNA with a diagonal shot, setting the score 4 - 0 for the Nghe team.
