Ha Nam takes the top spot, 'mini' Huynh Nhu scores a goal.

Hanoi U.19 runners-up suffer defeat.

The highlight of the second round was the clash between the reigning U.19 champions Phong Phu Ha Nam and last season's runners-up Hanoi. Desperate for a win to reclaim the top spot, Phong Phu Ha Nam immediately pushed forward and attacked.

Conversely, Hanoi FC did not hesitate to press their opponents and launch counter-attacks. However, the first half saw no goals as strikers from both sides missed many opportunities.

The female players put in a great effort.

In the second half, the game became more open, and what was bound to happen eventually did. In the 53rd minute, Phong Phu Ha Nam unexpectedly opened the scoring. Receiving a pass from a teammate, Bui Thi Hong Nhung unleashed a beautiful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, giving Hanoi's goalkeeper Ngoc Anh no chance to save it. Just three minutes later, Minh Anh made a superb through pass to Luu Hoang Van. The striker calmly beat the opposing goalkeeper and finished into an empty net, increasing Phong Phu Ha Nam's lead to 2-0.

Dance of the Field

The next match of the second round was a clash between Thai Nguyen T&T and Zantino Vinh Phuc . Considered the underdog, Zantino Vinh Phuc decided to retreat deep into their own half to defend and wait for opportunities to counter-attack. They created a huge surprise by scoring the opening goal. In the 18th minute, taking advantage of a defensive lapse by Thai Nguyen T&T, Luong Ngoc Anh unleashed a powerful shot to give Zantino Vinh Phuc the lead.

Refusing to accept defeat, coach Phuong Nam urged his players to attack. Possessing a well-balanced and experienced squad, Thai Nguyen T&T quickly achieved their goal. In the 27th minute, Nguyen Ngo Thao Nguyen scored to equalize the score at 1-1.

In the second half, the intense pressure caused Zantino Vinh Phuc's defense to crumble. Thu Trang scored the winning goal, securing a 2-1 victory for Thai Nguyen T&T.

The unique celebration of the Ho Chi Minh City U.19 women's team.

In the late match at 5:30 PM on the same day, Ho Chi Minh City FC secured their first victory of the tournament by defeating Than KSVN 5-0, earning a full three points. Among Ho Chi Minh City FC's five goals, one was scored by Nguyen Huynh Nhu in the 91st minute.
