According to the regulations of the 2025 National U19 tournament, the 3 first-place teams, 3 second-place teams, and 2 teams with the best results in the 3 groups will enter the quarter-finals. Because Group A has been decided when both Hanoi and SHB Da Nang have been eliminated, therefore, with 4 points in hand, coach Huy Hoang's team has officially won a ticket to the quarter-finals without having to care about the results in the last round.

However, to avoid a clash with Viettel in the quarter-finals, U19 Song Lam Nghe An needs to win by a big 4-goal margin against the bottom team U19 Binh Phuoc.

Because of this, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang used a 4-3-3 formation - rich in attack - to enter the match. In which, 4 new players were sent down from the first team including: Phan Van Thanh, Trong Tuan, Quoc Trung and Phung Van Nam all played from the start.

That helped U19 Song Lam Nghe An completely control the game and put strong pressure on U19 Binh Phuoc's goal.

In the early stages of the match, U19 Song Lam Nghe An created many dangerous opportunities in front of the opponent's goal. And one of them was converted by Quoc Khanh into a goal, opening the score for U19 Song Lam Nghe An. In the 6th minute, from Tan Minh's precise cross into the middle of Binh Phuoc's goal, Quoc Khanh jumped high and headed the ball into the net of goalkeeper Duy Hau.

After scoring the goal, U19 Song Lam Nghe An kept up the pressure to find more opportunities. However, it was not until the 30th minute that Phung Van Nam scored to double the gap for the Nghe team.

Entering the second half, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang's team continued to push up their formation to create a series of attacks on Binh Phuoc's goal. After many missed shots, in the 57th minute, Quoc Khanh continued to score to raise the score to 3-0 for U19 Song Lam Nghe An. The goal came from an accurate penalty kick by the striker wearing the number 9 shirt, but before that, the great contribution belonged to Quoc Trung when he brought the penalty for the Nghe An team.

In the final minutes of the match, Song Lam Nghe An focused all their efforts on the attack front to create a 4-goal gap. However, due to a lack of luck, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang's team could not find the net of Binh Phuoc again.

Thus, with a 3-0 victory, U19 Song Lam Nghe An ranked only 2nd in Group C, thereby meeting the strong team U19 Viettel in the quarter-finals.
