Defeating HAGL, U15 SLNA soon won a ticket to the semi-finals
(Baonghean.vn) – With 6 goals scored, U15 SLNA and U15 HAGL delivered an eye-catching match in the second round of the group stage of the National U15 Finals this afternoon (August 4).
The confrontation between U15 SLNA and U15 Saigon FC is worth waiting for, because the Nghe An team has a tradition of training young people while Saigon FC is actually a force of the U15 generation trained by the Ho Chi Minh City Football Federation in conjunction with Lyon Club (France).

Right in the 6th minute, U15 SLNA took advantage of their dominance and initiative to score the opening goal. Coach Nguyen Phi Long's students were confused, allowing Dao Ngoc Tu of U15 SLNA to escape and easily defeat goalkeeper Trung Nhan in a face-to-face situation.
In the rest of the first half, Dinh Xuan Tien and his teammates on U15 SLNA still had many really dangerous opportunities, but there were no more goals before the break.

In the second half, SLNA pushed up their formation to increase the gap. The strong attacking play right after the return whistle of referee Ngo Dac Tien surprised Saigon FC. In the 42+2 minute, Nguyen Cong Huy performed a solo performance, passing the home team's goalkeeper to finish at a narrow angle, doubling the advantage for the young team from Nghe An.
In the following period, SLNA controlled the game and created some clear scoring opportunities. However, U15 SLNA could not score more goals. After the main midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien was given a break, U15 SLNA started to play slower and that was the opportunity for U15 Saigon FC to attack.
