While coach Quoc Tuan had not yet made a substitution to increase the attacking power, U22 Vietnam conceded a goal. In the 68th minute, center-back Van Hanh blocked the ball from Indonesia's number 18. Having received a free kick with a very wide shooting angle, number 7 K. Luthfi took a tricky shot, the ball hit the hand of a player in the wall and flew into the far corner, leaving Van Bieu no time to react.

With the goal, U22 Indonesia had more opportunities to promote negative defensive play and take advantage of malicious fouls. Up to 6 yellow cards were drawn by the referee for U22 Indonesia players.

Despite their efforts to attack in the official minutes and 5 minutes of extra time, immaturity and impatience caused U22 Vietnam to accept the final result of 0-1. U22 Indonesia won the ticket to the final./.
