In the first half, the U19 women's team of Vietnam was almost completely outclassed. They were pushed deep into their own half, facing many dangerous opportunities from the opponent.

The Thai U19 women's players with their individual skills easily dominated the midfield. In the 3rd minute, Intabunrung had a shot from outside the penalty area. The ball was not dangerous enough to defeat goalkeeper Le Thi Thu, but it was the first threat from this team.

The great pressure from the away team finally made the U19 women's team of Vietnam make a mistake. In the 27th minute, Moondong stole the ball after a bad pass from the home team. She dribbled skillfully and then shot into the far corner to open the score for the U19 women of Thailand.

Despite being behind, the U19 women's team continued to play deadlocked. Their goal was even put under threat many times.

In the second half, Thuy Nga was brought onto the field and quickly left her mark. She played aggressively, helping the home team attack more freely. And she was also the one who brought about the equalizer, although she was not the first to score.

From a pass from her teammate, Hong Van broke into the middle and was blocked. Vietnam U19 women's team was awarded a penalty and Thuy Nga scored in the 50th minute.

But this joy did not last long. After a few minutes of being at a disadvantage, the Thai U19 women's team quickly regained control of the game. They also soon scored a goal to restore the lead. This time, it was Thao Nguyen's turn to foul Limpawanich in the penalty area. It was also Limpawanich who fooled Le Thi Thu to increase the score to 2-1 in the 62nd minute.

In the 68th minute, Phatcharaphorn fired a shot from outside the penalty area and was lucky to score when the ball hit a defender of the Vietnam U19 women's team and changed direction.

In the remaining minutes, the home team did not lose heart and continued to play with determination. They did have chances, but they were quite unlucky and unlucky. The score of 3-1 was maintained until the end of the match, helping the Thai U19 women's team win the 2025 Southeast Asian U19 Women's Championship. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese U19 women's team continued to miss out on this title.
