Entering this match, Vinh City Children's Team was still the dominant team thanks to their evenly matched squad. However, unlike the match in the group stage, Quy Hop Children's Team was calmer and more effective in both blocking the opponent's attacks and organizing quick counter-attacks every time they won the ball back.

In the 16th minute, the Phu Quy team unexpectedly opened the score. From a powerful shot near the middle of the field by a player of Nhi Dong Quy Hop, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out and number 5 Truong Minh Long rushed in very quickly, heading the ball into the net of goalkeeper Nguyen Hoang Bao.

Being behind, the Vinh City Children's players appeared confused and ineffective in the following attacks. The attacks of the players in black and blue lacked coherence and were easily blocked in front of the Quy Hop Children's goal.

The first half ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the Phu Quy team.

In the first half, the play of Vinh City Children's Team did not improve. The attacking combinations as well as the shots of the black and blue team were hasty and inaccurate.

On the other hand, due to prioritizing the defense front, the counterattacks of Nhi Dong Quy Hop were also weak and did not create any scoring opportunities in front of goalkeeper Nguyen Hoang Bao's goal.

However, the Phu Quy team still maintained the lead until the referee blew the whistle to end the match.
