The afternoon confrontation on January 14 between the two teams is of great importance in the group situation. Right after the opening whistle, both Thai Nguyen T&T U19 women's team and Hanoi U19 women's team entered the game cautiously, prioritizing security in the defense. With a more balanced and experienced force, Hanoi U19 women's team controlled the game better for most of the first half.
However, Thai Nguyen T&T U19 women's team showed discomfort with a tight defensive style, ready to switch quickly when there was an opportunity. In the 35th minute, from a fierce contest in the midfield area by Thao Nguyen, Tran Thi Huong launched a beautiful long-range shot, defeating goalkeeper Pham Ngoc Anh, opening the score of the match and creating an important turning point.
Stepping into the second half, Hanoi U19 women's team pushed up the squad to find an equalizer. However, the attacking organization of the Capital team lacked the necessary sharpness to penetrate the tightly organized defense of Thai Nguyen T&T U19 women's team. Meanwhile, the midfield with the effective operation of Thuy Nga and Thao Nguyen continued to help the tea country team control the midfield well and neutralize most of the opponent's attacks.
Despite efforts to increase pressure in the final minutes, Hanoi still could not take advantage of the opportunities created and accepted a minimal 0-1 defeat. This result helped Thai Nguyen T&T U19 women's team win importantly, and also made the race at the National U19 Women's Football Championship - Acecook Cup 2026 more attractive.
In the late match taking place at 6 pm on the same day, U19 Phong Phu Ha Nam women's team defeated U19 Than Khoang San Vietnam women's team with a score of 2-1, thereby winning all 3 points and continuing to closely follow the leading group in the rankings.
