U.21 Hanoi passed the group stage of the 2023 National U.21 Championship with the top position in Group B. Meanwhile, U.21 Viettel entered the quarter-finals thanks to the wild card for the third-placed team (Group A) with the best record. Therefore, in the quarter-final match between the two fateful opponents, Hanoi and Viettel, the young team of the capital was rated higher. In the first half, Thanh Hoa Stadium witnessed heavy rain, causing the quality of the match to not reach the highest level. However, U.21 Hanoi with a more balanced force created many dangerous situations that made the opponent's goal wobble. In the 7th minute, after a pass back to the second line from a teammate, Ngo Duc Hoang rushed up and fired a low, dangerous shot but unfortunately the ball missed the post.

The most notable move in the first half was Le Van Quang Duyet's powerful long-range shot in the 23rd minute. However, the shot of the U.21 Hanoi player was brilliantly blocked by goalkeeper Doan Huy Hoang. In the first half, the young Hanoi players had once put the ball into the U.21 Viettel net but the referee did not recognize it because of an offside. In the second half, U.21 Hanoi was still the better team and created many dangerous opportunities but could not take advantage of them. In the 53rd minute, U.21 Hanoi had a very favorable situation to open the score, but Vu Van Son kicked the ball into the sky from a distance of less than 5 meters. On the other hand, U.21 Viettel played lurkingly but could not threaten the Hanoi team's goal.
