First team reaches semi-finals of Thanh Nien Newspaper U21 Football Tournament
Matches in the 2nd round of the finals of the 2015 Thanh Nien (Youth) Newspaper U21 Football Tournament took place in Ho Chi Minh City last weekend.
In Group A, An Giang booked a ticket into the semi-finals after their 4-3 win over Thua Thien Hue on 22 October and a 3-1 win over Ho Chi Minh City on 24 October. Thua Thien Hue defeated Hoang Anh Gia Lai 3-2 last Saturday.
In Group B, Ha Noi T& T currently top the group with 6 points after beating Binh Dinh 3-0 and Sana Khanh Hoa 1-0. Sana Khanh Hoa was knocked out of the tournament after losing 1-2 to SHB Da Nang on 23 October. SHB DN then suffered a disappointing 1-2 defeat to Binh Dinh on Sunday. With their 3 points, the local team still has the opportunity to go into the semis if they can beat Ha Noi T&T on 27 October.
Today, 26 October, there are matches between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and An Giang at 3.30pm in the District No 8 Stadium, and Ho Chi Minh City and Thua Thien Hue also at 3.30pm in the Thong Nhat Stadium.
