Therefore, despite having to face the home team Hoang Anh Gia Lai, coach Dinh Van Dung's team still entered the match with confidence. Nghe An U15 had many coherent and diverse approaches to the opponent's goal. Quoc Hoa was the name that left many impressions in the first minutes of the match. The player wearing the number 9 shirt, Song Lam Nghe An possesses skillful technique and super fast speed, which helps the yellow team's attack attack with extremely high variability. Besides, Van Tung is also a midfielder who left many impressions in previous matches. Especially in the quarter-final match, when this player had a bold solo performance before scoring against Ho Chi Minh City U15. And in this match, Van Tung was also quite an outstanding player. The player wearing the number 8 shirt scored early in the 10th minute of the match, helping Song Lam Nghe An break the balance. The goal was scored from a corner kick arrangement. Van Tung jumped high and headed the ball into the middle of the crossbar and post, leaving Hoang Anh Gia Lai's goalkeeper helpless as the ball tore into the net.
After the goal, coach Dinh Van Dung's team showed no signs of slowing down, but on the contrary, there were continuous attacks from the striker duo Quoc Hoa and Quang Lam. If Quoc Hoa had been luckier, he could have doubled the gap. The situation was created thanks to the ability of striker number 9 to play independently. Quoc Hoa received the ball from his teammate and made a move to get past the opposing defender before skillfully flicking the ball into the net, but unfortunately the ball hit the post.
On the other side of the front line, Hoang Anh Gia Lai could not create any opportunities in the first 45 minutes of the match. The mountain town team mainly retreated to their home field to defend against Song Lam Nghe An's attacks.
Entering the second half, the scenario was not much different from the first half. Nghe An U15 was still the team controlling the game and creating many dangerous situations in front of Hoang Anh Gia Lai's penalty area. In the 66th minute, Truong Van Tan Sang scored another goal to double the gap for Song Lam Nghe An. The goal came from a set piece free kick, Tan Sang received the ball and fired a powerful shot into the home team's net.
In the final minutes of the match, coach Dinh Van Dung's students no longer increased their attacking tempo as before, but still had many opportunities in front of the mountain town team's goal.
At the end of 90 minutes, Song Lam Nghe An won with a score of 2-0. On August 22, U15 Nghe An will compete in the final.
