Playing at home, Singapore quickly controlled the game and continuously put pressure on Timor-Leste's goal. However, the away team organized a tight defense, making it difficult for the "The Lions" strikers to approach the goal.
In the 30th minute, Singapore put the ball into Timor-Leste's net after Irfan Fandi's header, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.
After many missed opportunities, the home team broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. From Nur Abdullah's cross from the left wing, Ilhan Fandi jumped high to head dangerously, defeating goalkeeper Dylan Niski to open the score for Singapore.
Stepping into the second half, Singapore continued to maintain pressure. In the 56th minute, Kyoga Nakamura made an accurate cross for Ui Yong Song to cut in and head the ball, doubling the gap for the home team.
In the remaining time, Singapore actively slowed down the pace of the match but still completely controlled the game. Timor-Leste tried to find an equalizer but did not create many notable opportunities against the solid defense of the opponent.
In the end, Singapore won 2-0 against Timor-Leste, thereby gaining an additional advantage in the competition for a ticket to the next round in Group A of the ASEAN Cup 2026 by climbing to the top with 6 points after 2 consecutive wins.
