In the afternoon of July 20, at Ham Rong 4 stadium, U17 Hoang Anh Gia Lai closed their journey at the tournament with a 1-0 victory over U17 PVF. Ha Thanh Phuoc An's only goal in the 32nd minute helped the Mountain Town team get the first 3 points.
However, this result was not enough for U17 Hoang Anh Gia Lai to improve their position when the team only ranked last in Group A and had to stop right from the group stage.
In the opposite direction, U17 PVF controlled the game for most of the time but could not take advantage of the opportunities created. This team also played with one less player from the 89th minute when Nguyen Ngoc Anh Hao received a red card. However, with a better goal difference than U17 Da Nang, U17 PVF still won a ticket to the quarter-finals with second place in Group A.
In the match taking place at the same time at Ham Rong 5 stadium, U17 The Cong Viettel I drew with U17 Da Nang with a score of 0-0. Both teams had to play with 10 players when Nguyen Van Truong of U17 The Cong Viettel I received a red card in the 30th minute, and Nguyen Dang Minh Liem of U17 Da Nang was sent off from the 21st minute.
With this result, U17 The Cong Viettel I topped Group A with 5 points. U17 PVF ranked second with 4 points and both qualified for the quarter-finals. U17 Da Nang also had 4 points but ranked third due to inferior goal difference, thereby having to wait for the results of the final matches in Group B and Group C to know whether they will be in the group of two third-placed teams with the best results or not.
Up to now, U17 Hanoi is the first team in Group C to win a ticket to the quarter-finals after two consecutive wins. Thus, three out of eight slots in the knockout round have been determined, while the remaining five tickets will be decided after the final matches of Group B and Group C.
According to the tournament regulations, the quarter-finals consist of 8 teams, including the top two teams in each group and the top two teams in third place with the best results.
