Entering the match, the U22 Vietnam players started the game better. Viktor Le and his teammates played calmly under the pressure of the home team and had many notable attacks. After many tit-for-tat moves, U22 Vietnam was the team to take the lead.

In the 31st minute of the match, Viktor Le caused chaos in the U22 China defense with a breakthrough dribble before passing to Quoc Viet. The No. 9 striker of U22 Vietnam swung his leg very quickly to finish dangerously, defeating the U22 China goalkeeper.
