U19 Song Lam Nghe An will meet U19 Binh Phuoc in the quarter-finals.

Before entering the final round of Group C of the 2023 National U19 Finals, U19 Song Lam Nghe An has 4 points and is temporarily ranked 2nd. According to the tournament rules this year, the 2 best 3rd-placed teams will advance to the group stage. Because in Group A, the 2 teams Tay Ninh and Khanh Hoa only have 3 points after finishing 3 rounds. Therefore, U19 Song Lam Nghe An has secured a ticket to the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, U19 Dong Thap - U19 Song Lam Nghe An's opponent in the 3rd round of Group C also only needs a draw to achieve the same.

That is why coach Nguyen Van Vinh has made calculations to keep the pillars and experiment with some positions that have not had many opportunities to play. Without the pressure of having to win, the match between U19 Song Lam Nghe An and U19 Dong Thap was not as exciting as the audience expected. The pace of the match was very low and the ball was mainly circulated back and forth in the midfield area.

This is what makes the two teams create very few opportunities. However, with their superior strength, U19 Song Lam Nghe An also has a few situations that can be converted into goals. However, the weak attacks of the Nghe An strikers do not give them a chance to lead. The ball that seemed to open the score for U19 Song Lam Nghe An was denied by the crossbar.

At the end of the match, U19 Song Lam Nghe An accepted to share points with U19 Dong Thap.

Previously, U19 Thanh Hoa easily defeated U19 Binh Duong with a score of 3-1, so at the end of the group stage, U19 Song Lam Nghe An ranked only 2nd, Dong Thap ranked 3rd.

Thus, in the quarter-finals taking place on April 30, U19 Song Lam Nghe An will face U19 Binh Phuoc.
