The hosts, who topped Group A, entered the tie as favourites against U14 PVF, the third-placed side from Group C, and immediately took control with an attacking approach.

U14 LPBank HAGL created several clear chances in the first half but failed to capitalize. Their best opportunity came in the 20th minute when Hồng Sơn met a precise cross from a teammate, only to send a weak effort straight at the goalkeeper.
