  • 77'
    2-1 for Vietnam!

    From a corner, the ball found Huu Nam, who put a powerful finish into the net, leaving keeper Yazid no chance.

  • 75'

    The equalizer of Singapore was counted for Nguyen Hong Phuc instead of Huu Nam, whose header touched Phuc before going in. It's still an own goal regardless.

  • 70'

    Singapore made a sub after one of their players was injured.

  • 65'

    Singapore played much better than the first half as they started to create more scoring chances.

Vietnam already qualified for the 2024 U23 Asian Cup after beating Yemen 1-0 in the previous round, so this game will be a chance for coach Philippe Troussier to try different tactics and give other players more playing time.

For Singapore, they need to beat Vietnam in this game to keep the hope of qualifying for the main tournament.
