The match attracted special attention with the participation of 2 U23 Vietnam players who have just won the 2025 Southeast Asian Championship, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Thanh Dat from the U21 The Cong Viettel side. Immediately after returning home on the afternoon of July 30, the three immediately moved from Tan Son Nhat airport to Ba Ria ward (HCMC) to join the home team.
After the opening whistle, the two teams entered the match with an open game. U21 PVF controlled the ball better and created many dangerous situations. In the 22nd minute, Tran Vu Ngoc Tai dribbled the ball on the left wing, crossing the ball seemingly harmless but it swirled straight into the goal, leaving the U21 goalkeeper The Cong Viettel unable to react.
Entering the second half, U21 The Cong Viettel raised their formation to find an equalizer. Despite continuous pressure, the army team's attack could not penetrate the solid defense of U21 PVF. Even Cong Phuong - who scored the decisive goal in the U23 Southeast Asian final - did not make a difference.
In the end, U21 PVF won 1-0 and won the 2025 National U21 Championship. This is a worthy achievement for the disciplined and sharp playing style of the team from Hung Yen.
