Before entering Round 7, U.19 Hanoi and U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam were the only two undefeated teams in the tournament. U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam had 14 points, leading the group, while U.19 Hanoi was in second place with 10 points. Therefore, U.19 Hanoi aimed to win 3 points to keep their hopes alive of catching up with U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam.
However, the challenge for Hanoi U.19 is not easy as they face Thai Nguyen T&T U.19. The young players from the tea-growing region have a cohesive team and are closely trailing Hanoi U.19 with only a 1-point difference. More importantly, Thai Nguyen T&T's squad includes many players who have already competed in the 2024 National Women's Championship, playing alongside experienced players like Bich Thuy and Kim Thanh.

As expected, Hanoi U.19 faced considerable difficulties in front of Thai Nguyen T&T U.19's goal. In the first 20 minutes, Coach Dang Quoc Tuan's team pushed forward in attack, employing a variety of tactics, but all were unsuccessful against the disciplined and compact defense of Thai Nguyen T&T U.19.
Fortunately for Hanoi U19, amidst the difficult situation, their stars stepped up at the right moment. In the 23rd minute, Dang Thi Duyen seized a quick opportunity in the penalty area, opening the scoring for Hanoi U19. Dang Thi Duyen's goal was greatly influenced by Anh My - one of Hanoi U19's best players since the beginning of the tournament - as she dribbled past two Thai Nguyen T&T defenders.
Before they could recover from the first goal, U.19 Thai Nguyen T&T suffered a second blow in the 31st minute. This time, Dang Thi Duyen was the player who scored again with a superb burst of speed and finish.
Having conceded two consecutive goals, U.19 Thai Nguyen T&T abandoned their defensive style of play. The young girls from the tea-growing region pushed their formation higher and played more aggressively. However, it wasn't until the 87th minute that Ngoc Anh made a pass to Thuy Nga, who rushed in to score, reducing the deficit to 1-2. In the final minutes, U.19 Thai Nguyen T&T created several chances that worried U.19 Hanoi, but unfortunately, no further goals were scored.
In the end, Hanoi U.19 defeated Thai Nguyen T&T U.19 2-1. This victory extended coach Dang Quoc Tuan's team's unbeaten streak to 7 matches. Hanoi U.19 now has 13 points, ranking second and 4 points ahead of Thai Nguyen T&T U.19 (ranked third).
Hanoi U.19 continues its unbeaten streak.
Despite securing 3 points against U.19 Thai Nguyen T&T, U.19 Hanoi was still unable to close the gap with the league leaders, U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam. This is because in the previous match, U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam achieved a resounding 4-0 victory against U.19 Zantino Vinh Phuc. U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam currently has 17 points, 4 points more than U.19 Hanoi.
U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam (in white jerseys) is still racing towards the finish line.
In the match against U.19 Zantino Vinh Phuc, U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam did not face too many difficulties. In the first half, Nguyen Thi Hong Que and striker Luu Hoang Van scored, giving U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam a 2-0 lead. In the second half, U.19 Phong Phu Ha Nam continued to attack and added two more goals through Thanh Hieu (76th minute) and Vu Thi Hoa (84th minute).
In the other match of round 7, Ho Chi Minh City U.19 continued to disappoint by being held to a 0-0 draw by Son La U.19.
