On the afternoon of February 15 at Ba Ria - Vung Tau Stadium, U.19 Ba Ria - Vung Tau faced U.19 Da Nang in the opening match of the 2025 National U.19 Championship. U.19 Ba Ria - Vung Tau had the home field advantage, but U.19 Da Nang was the team that took the initiative for most of the match. However, the Han River team had to accept the rules of football, when they played aggressively and created many opportunities but could not take advantage of them to score against the opponent.

Scored with the first touch

As the match entered its final stages, the coaching staff of U.19 Ba Ria - Vung Tau made some substitutions to create a turning point. The son of the former striker of the Vietnam national team that won the AFF Cup 2008, Nguyen Quang Hai - Nguyen Le Quang Khoi, was extremely lucky when he entered the field and scored the only goal to seal the victory for the home team.

Quang Khoi (right) scored in his first touch, less than 1 minute after entering the field.

Quang Khoi was brought onto the field in the 73rd minute. Before the match MC could introduce Quang Khoi to the audience, the striker wearing the number 99 shirt scored. Starting from a throw-in error by the opposing player, Quang Khoi dribbled into the middle and suddenly shot into a narrow corner, giving the U.19 Da Nang goalkeeper no chance to block. Notably, this was also Quang Khoi's first touch of the ball after being brought onto the field.

During the remaining time of the match, Da Nang FC pushed up their formation in an effort to find an equalizer. However, many players of the Han River team were exhausted at the end of the match, while the home team U.19 Ba Ria - Vung Tau played a very tight defense.

U.19 Da Nang played better for most of the match.
