U15 Song Lam Nghe An meets U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa: 'Final' of group C

Coach Nguyen Van Tien's team played very well on the opening day. Goals from Tran Ngoc Son, Phan Van Tai and Pham Viet Duy helped U15 Song Lam Nghe An easily win against U15 Hoang Anh Gia Lai with a score of 3-0.

However, the upcoming opponent of the Nghe An youth team will be much more difficult. That is U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa - they also had a 4-1 victory in the opening day.

Among them, the most outstanding player is Nguyen Van Manh. This player wearing the number 10 shirt scored a double in the match against U15 Long An recently. This is not too surprising. Because Nguyen Van Manh has made waves in the recent qualifying matches.

After 8 matches, No. 10 of U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa has scored 11 goals, helping the Thanh team reach the final round of this year's tournament. Therefore, in the upcoming match, the duo Quan Thanh Cong and Tran Van Hai will have to play with concentration and cover each other well to neutralize this excellent player.

This is entirely possible when in the opening match, the central defender duo of U15 Song Lam Nghe An played very well. Outstanding physique, physical strength along with the ability to read situations well helped this duo lock down the sharp points on the attack line of U15 Hoang Anh Gia Lai. In addition, the support of midfielder Ngo Anh Duc will also help the defense of the young team from Nghe An to be more solid.

On the offensive line, although he did not score any goals in the opening match, Captain Nguyen Minh Thuy still left a lot of impressions. The clever passes of this number 8 opened up opportunities for his teammates. One of those opportunities was converted into the opening goal in the 11th minute by Tran Ngoc Son. It can be said that in the upcoming match, Nguyen Minh Thuy is still the heart of the Nghe An youth team's playing style.

The challenge for Minh Thuy and her teammates will be the solid defense of the Thanh Hoa youth team. In the qualifying round, U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa only conceded 6 goals and had 5 clean sheets. Therefore, U15 Song Lam Nghe An will need the brilliance of Tran Ngoc Son, Phan Van Tai or Bui Viet Tu to penetrate this solid defense.

The match between U15 Song Lam Nghe An and U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa on September 3 will be a very important match. The winner of this match will almost certainly take the top spot in Group C, thereby avoiding strong opponents in the quarter-finals. In addition, winning this match will help the coaches to rest their key players in the next round. This is very important as the tight schedule of the National U15 tournament this year will cause the young players to lose strength quickly. Therefore, this match promises to be an attractive and fierce match.

Hopefully, coach Nguyen Van Tien and his team will continue to have excellent form to win against U15 Dong A Thanh Hoa, thereby soon winning a ticket to the quarter-finals of this year's tournament.
