Myanmar entered the game proactively and soon created a difference from the first minutes. In the 7th minute, Kyaw Min Oo took advantage of an opportunity in the penalty area to open the score for the away team.
In the 28th minute, Than Paing doubled the gap after a sharp counter-attack. In the remaining part of the first half, the Philippines tried to push up the squad to find an equalizer but could not penetrate Myanmar's defense. The home team was awarded a penalty in the 33rd minute, but this decision was cancelled after the referee consulted VAR.
After the break, the Philippines increased pressure and scored a goal to narrow the score in the 69th minute by Gayoso. The goal was only recognized after the refereeing team checked the VAR.
However, the home team's efforts did not last long. In the 82nd minute, Win Naing Tun headed to increase the score to 3-1 before Than Paing completed a double just one minute later, sealing a 4-1 victory for Myanmar.
This result helps Myanmar get the first 3 points after two legs, temporarily rising to third place in Group B of ASEAN Cup 2026 and continuing to maintain the opportunity to compete for a ticket to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, the Philippines continues to face a lot of pressure after the defeat right at home.
