In such an even match, a special moment appeared that helped PVF unexpectedly score a goal in the 22nd minute: Ngoc Tai dribbled the ball close to the sideline and then sent a cross pass inside, but the ball spun and rolled straight into the goal, surprising the defense of the army team, opening the score for PVF.

Conceding a goal, The Cong Viettel increased the pressure in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Thai Bao passed the ball to Huu Tuan who sneaked into the penalty area to shoot, but his shot went wide of the post. After escaping defeat, PVF reinforced their defense, creating many layers to counter The Cong Viettel's attacks.

In the match where Cong Phuong and his teammates were at a standstill, PVF succeeded in protecting their fragile 1-goal advantage. Therefore, even though captain Thai Ba Dat received a red card in injury time, PVF still maintained the score of 1-0 and won the 2025 National U21 Championship.
