Losing heavily to Viettel, SLNA says goodbye to the National U17 Finals
(Baonghean.vn) -Before the match against U17 Viettel in the final match of Group A taking place this afternoon, August 12, U17 SLNA only had 7 points and had to win if they wanted to continue.
It seemed like Coach Pham Bui Minh's students would have a favorable match when Luong Van Hung opened the score for the home team in the 15th minute. However, not long after that, U17 Viettel got the equalizer and the first half ended in a 1-1 draw.
Right at the beginning of the second half, the opportunity was once again lit up for U17 SLNA when striker Luong Van Hung continued to score, raising the score to 2-1. But that was all U17 SLNA could do because during the rest of the second half, Coach Pham Bui Minh's students could not protect their achievement.

U.17 SLNA (yellow shirt) took the lead twice but lost heavily to U.17 Viettel. |
The defense played carelessly, combined with the lack of players from the 60th minute due to Nguyen Van Viet's red card, causing the young team from Nghe An to quickly concede 4 more goals in the remaining time of the match.
Losing 2-5, U17 SLNA was officially eliminated from the final round this year and had to watch U17 Dong Thap and U17 Viettel go straight to the semi-finals. 1 year ago, U17 SLNA had to stop at the semi-finals after losing to this dirty opponent with a score of 0-3 in the semi-finals.
Thus, Dong Thap, Viettel, Hanoi T&T and PVF are the 4 best teams competing for medals at this year's National U17 Finals.
