The matches were exciting in the spirit of healthy competition and fair play. In particular, the matches of Thanh Nien Newspaper all took place with unpredictable scenarios until the last minutes.
In the match for the ticket to the final with Tien Phong Newspaper , Thanh Nien Newspaper started well with the opening goal of Bui Quang Duan in the 5th minute. Center back Hoang Khanh Linh made an accurate cross for Quang Duan to head the ball into the dangerous corner, putting Thanh Nien Newspaper in the lead. In the following minutes, Tien Phong Newspaper team poured forward to put pressure. In the middle of the first half, Thanh Nien Newspaper goalkeeper Phan Trong Quang's net shook after a tricky low shot that sent the ball through the "forest of legs" of the opponent's striker. 1-1 was also the score of the first half.

In the second half, Thanh Nien Newspaper continued to play defensive counter-attacks, with two strikers Dinh Quang Huy and Quang Duan in the attack. Right at the beginning of the half, Quang Huy took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper's indecisive advance to make a lightning-fast shot into the near corner, raising the score to 2-1. Four minutes later, Thanh Nien Newspaper continued to play high balls to put pressure. From the situation where Quang Huy and Hong Nam rushed in to put pressure, Tien Phong Newspaper's defense misjudged the landing point, leading to the third goal conceded.
Leading 3-1, the Thanh Nien Newspaper team retreated to defend. With a small number of players, the whole team had to "cut their coat according to their cloth", playing deep to preserve the result. Meanwhile, the Tien Phong Newspaper team put all 7 players (including the goalkeeper) up to play risky attacking. The energetic players who entered the field in the second half helped the Tien Phong Newspaper team turn the situation around, scoring 2 goals in 5 minutes, both from powerful shots, to tie the score at 3-3.
The drama came at the last second, when a player from Tien Phong Newspaper fell in the penalty area after a dispute from a corner kick. On the penalty spot, goalkeeper Trong Quang could not block his opponent's dangerous shot, leading to an unfortunate 3-4 defeat.

However, the Thanh Nien Newspaper team returned in the third place match against the Vietnam Youth Academy. With a 2-3-1 formation, the whole team defended more reasonably and tightly. Quang Huy's double helped Thanh Nien Newspaper win 2-1. In this match, goalkeeper Ngo Xuan Vu played well with many excellent saves, while Quang Huy continued to show his goal-scoring instinct when making good use of both opportunities.
In the end, Thanh Nien Newspaper won third place in the Central Youth Union's friendly football tournament.
