Entering the match, coach Nguyen Tuan Anh's team started proactively, controlling the game and creating pressure right from the first minutes. The high-pressing style helped the team soon get the opening goal in the 5th minute. From a quick counter-attack, Hoang Long skillfully handled it before finishing, the ball hit the post and then bounced into the net after hitting the Malaysian goalkeeper.
With the lead, U19 Vietnam futsal continued to maintain the attacking pace. Minh Luong and Dai Hoc successively had opportunities to increase the gap but failed to take advantage. The first half closed with an advantage in favor of U19 Vietnam futsal.

However, the red shirt team's defense did not preserve their advantage and let U19 Malaysia equalize 2-2 just 7 seconds later.
