Default Match 9 to 11 digits - vlookup

I have a list of 9 digit numbers (missing the end 2). I need to lookup the
closest match in a list of 11 digit numbers. I tried vlookup but it pulls in
the value above the one that I want. How do I make it find the one with all
9 digits matching?
EX:

List1 List2
300005555 30000555201 - vlookup pulls in this one
30000555502 - i want this one
