This decisive win propelled Vietnam to seven points in the group standings, surpassing Singapore on goal difference. With a goal difference of +10 compared to Singapore's +3, Vietnam now leads the group. The team had previously achieved a 7-0 win against Timor-Leste and a 0-0 draw with Singapore.

Adding to their success, Vietnam extended their national record for consecutive unbeaten matches in international fixtures to 21 games, with 18 wins and three draws. This impressive run underscores the team's consistent performance and growing strength in the region.

As defending champions, Vietnam aims to continue their dominant performance.
