The Que Phong youth, with a slight advantage in physique, controlled the ball better after the opening whistle. However, in the first 10 minutes of the match, the disputes mainly took place in the middle of the field and neither team had a truly sharp attack.

In the 11th minute, Thieu Nien Que Phong had a chance to open the score from a free kick close to the penalty area in front of goalkeeper Vo Tran Gia Bao's goal, but the shot from a Que player could not get past Thieu Nien Thanh Chuong's wall.

After this situation, the two teams made more attacks to close in on the opponent's goal. The clearest scoring opportunity from the beginning of the match belonged to Thieu Nien Que Phong in the 21st minute when captain number 7 Nguyen Van Chi Nghia received a pass from his teammate on the right wing and volleyed the ball very hard towards the goal of goalkeeper Vo Tran Gia Bao, unfortunately the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, Que Phong players dominated the game but the final shots of the young players from the highlands were not sharp enough to defeat goalkeeper Thieu Nien Thanh Chuong. The two teams entered the break without any goals scored.

Entering the second half, Thanh Chuong Youth unexpectedly opened the scoring in the 29th minute. After a not-so-dangerous attack by the players from the land of Nhut, goalkeeper Tran Duc Loi of Que Phong Youth caught the ball. However, the goalkeeper's kick hit the head of number 7 Dinh Duc Hoang of Thanh Chuong Youth and sent the ball flying into the net, surprising the players, coaching staff and fans of the Que Phong team.

The goal stimulated the fighting spirit of the Thanh Chuong Youth players. The yellow-shirted players rushed forward to attack and repeatedly put goalkeeper Tran Duc Loi's goal in a state of alarm. However, despite making mistakes that led to the loss, the Que Phong Youth's "goalkeeper" played very well, continuously blocking many dangerous close-range shots from the opposing team.

Being absorbed in attacking without scoring, Thanh Chuong players had to accept defeat, just as surprising as the way they scored the opening goal.

In a seemingly harmless attack by the Que Phong Youth players in the 39th minute, the Thanh Chuong Youth defenders let the ball go over the touchline but number 9 Dao Manh Quan stole it and chipped the ball past goalkeeper Vo Tran Gia Bao into the net. The Thanh Chuong players thought the ball had gone out of bounds but the referee still decided to recognize the goal.

In the remaining minutes of the match, Thanh Chuong youth tried their best to find a goal to increase the score, but the excellence of goalkeeper Tran Duc Loi discouraged the strikers from the land of the ants.

No more goals were scored, so the two teams had to enter a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. In the first three rounds, two shots by Thanh Chuong Youth players were blocked by goalkeeper Tran Duc Loi, while in the opposite direction, Que Phong Youth players were successful.

Leading 3-1 in the penalty shootout, it seemed like Que Phong players had secured a spot in the semi-finals, but a surprise happened when in the next 3 kicks, 2 players from the highlands of Que both missed the shot, while Thanh Chuong youth both succeeded.

Winning 4-3 after the penalty shootout, Thanh Chuong Youth entered the semi-finals to meet Vinh City Youth.
