Entering the match, the U19 women's team of Vietnam deployed the strongest lineup with the return of Thao Nguyen. On the other side of the field, the U19 women's team of Thailand kept the same lineup as the great victory over the U19 women of Myanmar in the semi-finals. The defending champion was the more proactive team when the midfield controlled the ball quite well. The U19 women of Thailand deployed up to 5 midfielders so they competed for the ball more effectively, creating great pressure on the defense of the U19 women of Vietnam.
However, goalkeeper Le Thi Thu played with concentration and significantly limited the attacks of the Thai U19 women's team, such as the situation in the 9th minute when Nachanok fired a direct shot but goalkeeper Le Thi Thu caught it.

However, the defense that had not conceded a goal in the previous 4 matches finally conceded a goal after a mistake in the 27th minute. Thuy Linh's poor handling of the ball allowed Rinyaphat to steal it. After a few moves to get past Thuy Linh, the captain of the Thai U19 women's team fired a diagonal shot, scoring the opening goal. The loss forced the Vietnamese U19 women's team to push up their formation. The home team also put considerable pressure on the Thai U19 women's field.
Although there were good situations to attack the goal, the Vietnamese women's U19 team was confused in handling the ball in the 16m30 area, giving the Thai women's U19 defenders time to retreat and relieve the siege, blocking the home team's scoring opportunities.

At the beginning of the second half, the U19 women's team made a change when Thuy Nga replaced Hong Hue with the hope of creating a breakthrough and being stronger from the midfield. Just 5 minutes after the match resumed, the home team found an equalizer when Thao Nguyen kicked the ball long for Hoang Van to escape, forcing Pinyaphat to commit a foul in the penalty area, leading to a penalty. Thuy Nga did not miss the opportunity to score the equalizer 1-1 for the U19 women's team of Vietnam.

In the 61st minute, the advantage tilted towards the Thai U19 women's team when Kurisara was fouled by Thao Nguyen in the penalty area, leading to a penalty. This striker scored from the 11m mark to put the Thai U19 women's team ahead for the second time. In the 69th minute, Chatpharaphorn took a kick from about 18m to increase the gap for the Thai U19 women's team.
Trailing by 2 goals, the U19 women's team of Vietnam tried to push up their formation in the last 20 minutes. However, the alertness in defense helped U19 Thailand stand firm and win the championship.
