While U19 Birmingham were still stunned by the early loss, Van Son added another goal to the home team's net in the 16th minute. It seemed like Graechen's team would have a smooth match when they quickly took a 2-0 lead. But U19 Birmingham's class spoke for itself.

In the 22nd minute, McGee returned the first blow against U19 Vietnam. The score was shortened to 1-2 when the first half ended. In the second half, U19 Birmingham completely controlled the game and "locked down" strikers like Cong Phuong and Van Toan.
