Before this match, the Singapore team had 1 win (2-1 against Cambodia). Meanwhile, the Timor Leste team had 2 losses (0-10 against Thailand and 2-3 against Malaysia).

The Singapore team had a superior ball possession rate, while Timor Leste showed potential danger from counter-attacks. The first notable situation in the match was also created by Timor Leste.
Nakamura opened the scoring for Singapore from the penalty spot.
Joao Pedro, who once caused sorrow for the Malaysian team, continued to cause trouble for Singapore's defense. In the 9th minute, the Singapore defender made a mistake, Pedro took the ball and immediately made a long-range lob over the opponent's goalkeeper. But luck was not on the Timor Leste striker's side, as the ball hit the post.
This was also the most dangerous move in the first half. Although the Singapore team attacked a lot, they were still unable to get the ball into Timor Leste's net.
Singapore struggled against Timor Lester's defense. In the 51st minute, Singapore players were able to put the ball in the opponent's net, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside. It was not until the 76th minute that the island nation team was able to break the deadlock, thanks to a penalty situation. Kyoga Nakamura was the one who successfully executed the kick from the 11m mark to open the score of the match, putting Singapore ahead 1-0.
