In the third match, Singapore led Thailand by 2 goals but unfortunately lost 2-4. This result did not guarantee them a ticket to the semi-finals, but they still had the right to decide.
To advance in Group A, Singapore only needs to draw with Malaysia in the final match. Because they are 2 points ahead of their opponent on the rankings. On the other side, coach Pau Marti Vicente's team must win, even win by a large margin to have an advantage in goal difference over Cambodia.
Malaysia have been playing poorly since the start of the tournament, partly because they did not bring their strongest squad. After losing to Thailand, they were held to a draw by Cambodia and narrowly won 3-2 against Timor Leste. After 3 matches, they have conceded 5 goals, including 2 against the weakest opponent in the group, Timor Leste.
Although rated higher than their opponents, Singapore cannot be complacent. Malaysia is in a situation where they have nothing to lose, so they can bring a more determined performance. The Lion Island team must focus fully on this important reception.
