The goal went to the host team at the 74^th minute of the match thanks to a blunder by the Thai substitute goalkeeper.

Striker Nguyen Tang Tuan, who was the top scorer of the National U21 Football Championship, made a perfect pass to Sen, who dashed to the empty net ahead of Thai defenders.

The best players from the U21 tournament were selected to play in two days before the match. However, the hosts dominated most of the game against a stronger Thailand (who qualified for the final round of the Asian Youth Football Championship in India later this month).
