    Game over

    After Singapore's free kick, the referee blew the final whistle. Vietnam couldn't advance to the semifinals early with this goalless draw and they will have to win against Myanmar to secure the top spot of group B.

  • 90'+4

    Quang Hai tried to cross in for Tien Linh, whose header went off target. This might be the last play of Vietnam the game.

  • 90'

    Five minutes are added to the second half.

  • 86'

    Tien Linh missed a great chance when he was unable to hit the target after a good pass from Nguyen Phong Hong Duy. The striker was not expecting the pass.

    Vietnam almost scored

    Hoang Duc almost scored for Vietnam with a thunderous strike outside the box. Unfortunately, the ball hit the post.

  • 79'

    Van Thanh got a yellow for pushing a Singapore player in an attempt to prevent a counter-attack.

    Great play by Vietnam as Van Duc passed to Van Quyet, who found Tien Linh for the return, but he finished over the bar.

  • 73'

    A poor finish by Van Quyet from outside the box as it went to wide. If he passed to the flank instead of taking a shot, the chance would have been more relevant for Vietnam.

    Singapore still focused on defense and blocked every way into the box.

  • 65'

    It's Tien Linh again with a powerful shot but Sunny was able to save it.

Both Vietnam and Singapore are having six points before the clash on Friday. The winner of this match will claim the early ticket in group B to the semifinals.

Before the match, some expressed concern over the fact that the match will be played on artificial grass, which is unfamiliar to Vietnamese players. But coach Park Hang-seo said it would not be a problem with the team, as they have prepared for all situations.
