On 31 July 2026, Vietnam and Singapore played to a 0‑0 draw at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, witnessed by 31,569 spectators. The result left Singapore atop Group A with seven points, while Vietnam slipped to third place with four points.
Vietnam recorded 22 shots but failed to convert any chances. Coach Kim Sang‑sik substituted striker Nguyễn Đình Bắc at the 41st minute for naturalised forward Nguyễn Tài Lộc, a decision that drew criticism from Vietnamese media. The draw means Vietnam must defeat Indonesia in their next group match on 3 August to keep semifinal hopes alive.
Singapore captain Hariss Harun was named Hyundai Player of the Match, and Singapore coach Gavin Lee praised his side’s disciplined performance despite not securing a win. Both teams now turn their focus to upcoming fixtures, with Singapore preparing to face Indonesia later in the tournament.
