LPBank HAGL overturned an early deficit to beat Becamex TP Ho Chi Minh 3-1 in the national U16 championship qualifiers on October 18, according to results published by the Vietnam Football Federation.

Cong an Nhan dan also collected three points, winning 2-1 at Song Lam Nghe An. The other two matches in Groups A and B finished level.

Second-half turnaround at Ham Rong

Vu Ngoc Dung gave Becamex TP Ho Chi Minh the lead after four minutes at Ham Rong 5. LPBank HAGL had to wait until the second half to respond, but then scored three times in 23 minutes.

Dinh Phan Anh equalised in the 55th minute. Mai Gia Huy put the hosts ahead in the 73rd, and Nguyen Manh Nguyen added the third five minutes later.

Elsewhere in Group B, Ninh Binh and Cong an TP Ho Chi Minh drew 1-1 at Ham Rong 4. Le Chi Vi opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before Nguyen Van Trung Nam replied seven minutes later.

Visitors hold on in Vinh

Nguyen Tran Trong Hiep scored for Cong an Nhan dan in first-half stoppage time. Pham Tuan Kiet doubled their advantage on the hour, leaving Song Lam Nghe An with a two-goal deficit to recover.

Nguyen Trong Vu reduced the gap in the 68th minute, but the hosts could not find an equaliser. The remaining Group A match, between The Cong Viettel and Hai Phong, ended goalless.

The VFF results concern the U16 competition, with the youth fixtures recorded separately from the clubs' senior league campaigns. LPBank HAGL's comeback and Cong an Nhan dan's successful defence of their lead provided the day's two decisive outcomes.
