In the last match of the group stage, U17 Vietnam faced U17 Indonesia. Despite playing overwhelmingly and creating many chances, Sy Bach and his teammates could not score a goal against the excellence of the home team's goalkeeper.
However, the 0-0 draw was still enough to help U17 Vietnam enter the semi-finals of U17 Southeast Asia 2026 with the top spot in Group A. Coach Roland's team got 7 points after 2 wins and 1 draw.
The second place in Group A belongs to U17 Malaysia when defeating Timor Leste 2-0 in the final match. With 6 points after 3 matches, U17 Malaysia is the second-placed team with the best record to participate in the knockout round (more than 2 other runners-up, Singapore and Myanmar, who only have 4 points).
Meanwhile, host U17 Indonesia only got 4 points after finishing the group stage, thereby officially being eliminated from this year's tournament. At the bottom of the group is U17 Timor Leste with 3 consecutive defeats.
