Yamaha Cup 2026 National U13 Football Tournament: The Cong Viettel and SLNA reach the final

On the afternoon of July 11, at Lach Tray Stadium (17 Lach Tray, Gia Vien Ward, Hai Phong City), the finals of the Yamaha Cup 2026 National Youth Football (U13) Tournament featured two semifinal matches: The Cong Viettel vs. Hanoi Football Club, and SLNA vs. Thanh Hoa.

In the first semifinal, both teams launched attacks immediately after the referee's opening whistle. During the first 10 minutes of the match, the ball mostly stayed in Hanoi Football Club's half. However, The Cong Viettel's strikers were unable to convert their chances into goals.

After that, the game became more balanced. Hanoi Football Club took many shots, but the ball either missed the opponent's goal or was saved by The Cong Viettel's goalkeeper. It seemed the first half would end in a draw, but in a chaotic situation in front of Hanoi Football Club's goal, Hoang Anh quickly poked the ball with his toe into the net, opening the score for The Cong Viettel in the 30th minute.
