In the first minutes of the match, U19 HAGL rushed to the U19 SLNA field to attack. Right in the 4th minute, the referee made a rather heavy-handed decision when he decided to award U19 HAGL a penalty after defender Le Van Thanh collided with Quoc Viet in the 16m50 box.

In the penalty shootout, Nhi Khang was the player who defeated goalkeeper Nguyen Van Ba ​​to open the score 1-0 for U19 HAGL. After the goal, U19 HAGL with the advantage of leading played confidently and created many stormy situations.

Not only was U19 SLNA stuck in attack, they also received more bitter consequences. In the 24th minute, U19 SLNA continued to concede a goal from a lack of concentration in defense. The ball bounced off the U19 SLNA defense system and Quoc Cuong took advantage of the opportunity to increase the score to 2-0.

Not giving up, U19 SLNA was reinforced by Dinh Xuan Tien, Nguyen Van Bach - players born in 2003 along with defender Van Sang and created quite a lot of pressure.

However, HAGL's defense with the concentration of goalkeeper Bao Duy denied the most dangerous opportunities of the yellow jersey strikers. Quang Tu, Van Luong, Manh Quynh took turns to shoot but were all excellently blocked by HAGL's goalkeeper number 25.

At the end of the match, the goalkeeper of U19 HAGL could no longer maintain his concentration. In the 84th minute, Bao Duy made a wrong judgment and let the ball fly straight into the net after a cross from Van Cuong. This was also all that U19 SLNA could do in the semi-final match.

The match ended with a 2-1 victory for U19 HAGL. The mountain town team defeated U19 SLNA for the second consecutive year to enter the national finals. Coach Graechen and his team will face the winner of the remaining semi-final between U19 VPF and U19 CAND.
