SHB Da Nang’s U21 team progressed into the final of the 2013 Thanh Nien (Youth) Newspaper U21 Football Tournament after their deserved 2-1 win over Dak Lak at the Chi Lang Stadium on Thursday afternoon.

Quang Dung opened the scoring for SHB DN in the 16^th minute after latching on to an accurate pass from Anh Tuan.  However, their joy was short-lived as 4 minutes later Dak Lak’s Hong Chuong levelled the score, mainly due to the home team's loose defence.

In the 81^st minute, SHB DN’s Huu Tuan sent a powerful header directly into the goal to give his team the win.

The final of the tournament will take place in Hai Phong on Thursday 26 September.
