In the 35th minute, U19 Vietnam nearly doubled their lead, also from a corner kick. The free kick from the left wing was sent to the far post, and a player from the Golden Stars headed it, but the ball narrowly missed the far post.

In the 45+2 minute, U19 Vietnam finally got their second goal. Hoang Cong Hau was quick to tap in after a loose ball inside the box. The score was increased to 2-0.

In the 61st minute, U19 Vietnam were awarded a penalty after the Myanmar goalkeeper fouled Cong Hau inside the box. The penalty was successfully converted by Hoang Trong Duy Khang in the 63rd minute, extending the lead to 4-0.

In the 85th minute, U19 Vietnam scored again from a corner kick. Nguyen Thien Phu headed home from a corner on the right flank near the near post, making the score 5-0.
