In the third round, which was also the first round of Groups A and C on the afternoon of July 9, those differences still did not decrease, but even became more intense. For example, Group A host The Cong Viettel "knocked out" Hoai Duc 7-0. 6 players scored for Coach Dang Thanh Phuong's team. Among them, Nguyen Dang Duong, who had just returned from the U.23 Vietnam team, scored a double.

But the most impressive was the 10-0 victory of U.21 Ho Chi Minh City against Vinh Long in Group D at Thanh Long Stadium. Coach Lu Dinh Tuan and his team were determined to finish early when they did not spare their opponents with a 90-minute torture. 7 players scored in turn. Among them, Nguyen Huu Hoai Phong scored a double, while the number 1 striker of Ho Chi Minh City youth football, Nguyen Huynh Dang Khoa, scored a hat-trick. Besides, promising talents of Ho Chi Minh City such as Pham Minh Ky and Khuat The Hung also scored.

Other matches with big differences include Dong Thap of coach Bui Van Dong beating An Giang 4-0 with Huu Thien scoring a double and 2 goals from Phuc Thinh and Quoc Duy. Or U.21 Cong An Ha Noi beat Dao Ha Football Center 4-0. Quang Nam also started strongly when they defeated the ancient capital Hue team 3-0, in which Viet Quoc scored a double.

In group A, if The Cong Viettel is too strong, almost having the advantage with 1 direct ticket, then Hanoi's 3-2 victory over U.21 PVF-CAND also almost guarantees that coach Duong Hong Son and his team can win 1 of the 2 top tickets in group A.

In group B, SLNA, despite being held to a 0-0 draw by Thanh Hoa, with 7 points after 3 matches, is sure to win 1 of 2 tickets to the finals. The remaining spot is likely to belong to the defending champion PVF, who have 2 wins in hand with 6 points, far ahead of Thanh Hoa, Cong An Ha Noi and Hoai Duc.

The situation in Group D is almost over when Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Thap are superior to the other 3 teams.
