Before entering the final round, U19 SLNA had 3 points with one loss and one win. Only needing a draw, the Nghe team will get a ticket to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, U19 HAGL must win if they do not want to be eliminated.

However, U19 SLNA did more than fans expected. Coach Nguyen Dinh Dung arranged a team with a lot of attacking power and had no intention of playing defense. 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.

When the game of U19 HAGL was completely broken by SLNA's confident play, the Nghe An team took advantage of the gaps on the opponent's side. In the 54th minute, after a quick counterattack, Tran Ngoc Anh once again launched a dangerous shot but the ball went wide of the post.

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 who headed 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 accurately finish 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 spectacular match of U19 SLNA with a diagonal shot, setting the score at 4-0 for the Nghe An team. Thus, U19 SLNA and U19 Viettel excellently won the right to enter the semi-finals. The opponent of coach Nguyen Dinh Dung and his team will be the defending champion U19 Hanoi at 3:00 p.m. on March 13.
