Candidates assert their strength

The rookie team Dong Nai University of Technology tried hard to find a victory against the third-placed team Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports to avoid Van Lang University in the quarterfinals. Coach Le Huu Phat's students created a game that was not inferior to the Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports but could not convert their chances into goals.

Meanwhile, coach Pham Thai Vinh's students still maintained the initiative thanks to the uniformity in all lines. After many missed scoring opportunities, the most regrettable being midfielder Ngo Manh Huy Hoang's dangerous long-range shot that hit the crossbar, the team of Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports also had an opening goal in the 79th minute thanks to Nguyen Minh Nhat. The reigning top scorer of the Vietnam Youth Student Tournament showed his great ability to score goals with a dangerous left-footed shot that defeated goalkeeper Viet Quang (Dong Nai University of Technology). Nguyen Minh Nhat's valuable goal helped the team of Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports win all 3 points. This was also the third goal of the striker from Cu Chi (Ho Chi Minh City), bringing him to the top of the "bombing" list in the final round (with 3 goals with Thanh Lich, team of Van Hien University).

In the final match of the group stage, the team of Thuy Loi University did not encounter many difficulties to win against the team of Nong Lam University of Ho Chi Minh City with a score of 2-0. Kieu Van Nam was the one who opened the score for the representative team of the North. Van Nam was also the most special player on the field, as he was disabled in his left hand. With strong determination, this full-back overcame adversity to pass the university entrance exam and continue to pursue his passion for football. This was also the first match that Van Nam was given the opportunity to play and he did not disappoint the trust of the coaching staff and teammates. After that, Le Do Tuan Minh scored to seal a 2-0 victory for the team of Thuy Loi University.

Although Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry fielded its strongest lineup, it had to leave the tournament with a record of 3 consecutive losses. Meanwhile, the University of Water Resources took the top spot, with the same 7 points as the Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports but had a better goal difference (4 vs 3).

Thus, the 3 teams of group C that won tickets to the quarterfinals are the team of Thuy Loi University (first in group), the team of Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports (second in group) and the team of Dong Nai University of Technology (third in group). This result also helps determine the 4 quarterfinal pairs as follows: Van Lang University (first in group A) meets Dong Nai University of Technology (third in group C) in quarterfinal 1; Nha Trang College of Technology (first in group B) meets Ton Duc Thang University (second in group A) in quarterfinal 2; Thuy Loi University (first in group C) meets Tra Vinh University (third in group B) in quarterfinal 3; Van Hien University (second in group B) meets Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports (second in group C) in quarterfinal 4. The quarterfinals will take place on March 26 and 27.
