In this final match, Guangzhou U15s faced off with Qingyuan U15s. Both teams played solidly in the first half, with Qingyuan taking a 3-1 lead due to their excellent play. However, in the second half, after Qingyuan changed some of their players, Guangzhou scored four goals in a row and eventually won 5-3.
