They had to fight in this match to take the top spot in the group and avoid having to meet Thieu Nien Quy Hop, the top team of Group C, who had won against Thieu Nien Que Phong in the previous match.

There was no need to probe the opponent, as soon as the opening whistle blew, both teams immediately rushed to attack. The Thanh Chuong young players were the ones who had the first many good opportunities. They made goalkeeper Nguyen Ba Sang of the Do Luong Youth side work very hard.

The two teams continued to play a tug-of-war for most of the first half. In the 17th minute, the Do Luong Youth players almost scored a goal. Unfortunately, the shot from close range from the team from the Luong region hit the post and went out.

It seemed like both teams would have to leave the field with a 0-0 draw, but in the last minute of the match, the Do Luong players got what they wanted. From a corner kick, player number 9 Cao Tien Hoang jumped high to head the ball to open the score of the match.

Entering the second half, both teams made personnel adjustments. With the advantage of leading the score, the Do Luong Youth players played quite solidly on their home field.

Meanwhile, the players from Nhut showed great determination. The efforts of Thanh Chuong players were finally rewarded. In the 33rd minute, player number 11 Vo Nguyen Thai Bao scored a close-range header to equalize the match, to the delight of the crowd.

Excited after the equalizer, the Thanh Chuong Youth players continuously launched coherent attacks, creating many dangerous opportunities. In the 37th minute, player number 6 Nguyen Huu Phuc made a decisive dribble and coolly shot into the opponent's net, raising the score to 2-1 for Thanh Chuong Youth.

The score chase continued to be exciting when in the 43rd minute, player number 4 Nguyen Van Nguyen of Thieu Nien Do Luong scored a free kick from 15m, bringing the match back to the starting line.

In the final minutes of the match, despite great efforts, both teams had to accept a 2-2 draw and entered a penalty shootout to determine the winner.

After a tense "shootout", Thanh Chuong Youth players finally won when they successfully executed 4 kicks, while Do Luong Youth players were only successful in 2 kicks.

With this victory, Thanh Chuong Youth will face Que Phong Youth in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Do Luong Youth will have to overcome the "white rock" Quy Hop to have a chance to advance further in the tournament./.
