Song Lam Nghe An will face Gia Bao Hai Duong in the final match which will take place at 2:00 p.m. on August 25 at Gia Lai Provincial Sports Stadium.
After 2 semi-final matches of the National U9 Tournament held on the afternoon of August 23 at the Gia Lai Provincial Sports Stadium, the 2 strongest teams to play in the final match were determined to be U9 Song Lam Nghe An and U9 Gia Bao Hai Duong. The closing ceremony and final match of the tournament will take place at 2:00 p.m. on August 25 at the Gia Lai Provincial Sports Stadium.
In the first semi-final, U9 Gia Bao Hai Duong won an overwhelming 5-0 victory over a very strong opponent, U9 Ho Chi Minh City. Before the match, both teams were considered equal. However, coach Nguyen Hung Hoang continued to instruct U9 Gia Bao Hai Duong to deploy an all-out attacking style as in previous matches. At the 28th second of the first half, the goalkeeper of U9 Ho Chi Minh City had to go into the net to pick up the ball after a very quick approach from Minh Duc of Gia Bao Hai Duong. This was a very successful match for Minh Duc, because in the 17th and 33rd minutes, the player wearing the number 10 shirt scored 2 more goals to complete his hat-trick against the opponent.
This is a surprising result because U9 Gia Bao Hai Duong is just a rookie in the tournament.
In the second semi-final, winning 4-1 against U9 Hanoi, U9 Song Lam Nghe An showed that they are worthy opponents of U9 Gia Bao Hai Duong.
U9 Hanoi - the defending champion conceded 2 goals quite early. At the end of the first half, U9 Hanoi scored 1 goal after a header by Trong Dai. In the second half, despite many attacks, U9 Hanoi could not score. At the end of the second half, Uy Vu and Khai Phong of Song Lam Nghe An scored 2 goals to set the score at 4-1 for the second semi-final match. With U9 Hanoi stopping at the semi-finals, this year's tournament will have a "new king" crowned.
