Before the final round took place, U19 Korea was the team with a huge advantage when they won 6 points after two matches and everyone thought that this team had won the ticket to continue.

However, the drama happened in the final round and Korea was eliminated bitterly and surprisingly.

In this match, U19 Korea took a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute thanks to Kim Geun-jung's goal. However, Al-Najai shined when he scored a double to help U19 Saudi Arabia come back to win 2-1.

At the same time as this match, the host U19 Bahrain defeated the U19 Thailand team with a score of 3-2. With this result, U19 Saudi Arabia won the first place in Group B, U19 Bahrain won the second place while U19 Korea and U19 Thailand were eliminated.

Meanwhile, tonight (October 20), U19 Vietnam will enter the decisive match for the ticket to the next round of the 2016 U19 Asia finals.

With just a draw, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's U19 Vietnam will make a miracle by passing the group stage for the first time.

If they win against U19 Iraq, U19 Vietnam will top the group and face U19 Bahrain in the quarter-finals, but if they finish second in the group, their opponent will be U19 Saudi Arabia.
