VIDEO: Nam Dinh Steel advances to the U17 National Championship final

Second semifinal of the 2025 Thai Son Nam Cup U17 National Championship: Nam Dinh Steel U17 advances to the final.

On the afternoon of September 24, the second semifinal match of the 2025 Thai Son Nam Cup U17 National Football Championship between Nam Dinh Steel U17 and Viettel Army U17 was highly intense. After a 1-1 draw at the end of 90 minutes, the young Nam Dinh team won 4-3 in the penalty shootout to secure their place in the final.

The first turning point came when Nam Dinh Steel U17’s goalkeeper Quang Truong failed to catch the ball cleanly, allowing Viet Duc to cross into the box, enabling Dai Nhan to head home the opening goal for Viettel Army U17. Four minutes later, Dinh Vy missed a golden opportunity when his shot hit the crossbar. Just one minute after that, Nam Dinh Steel U17 punished the opponent’s mistake: Van Tuan unleashed a beautiful long-range shot from about 20 meters, equalizing 1-1 in the 27th minute.

Neither team scored again during regular time, so the match was decided by penalties. There, Nam Dinh Steel U17 showed greater composure and won 4-3 to advance to the final.
