23 Indonesia shows strength against U23 Cambodia
The 6-0 result is enough to show the strength of the SEA Games host team in the opening match against U23 Cambodia.
In the first match against an opponent considered weaker, the U23 Indonesian players took full advantage of their home field, the support of more than 72,000 fans and quickly scored a goal against U23 Cambodia.
With 6 goals scored against the opponent, U23 Indonesia temporarily tops Group A with 3 points.
Also in this group, in the match between U23 Malaysia and U23 Singapore. Although there were many opportunities for the strikers of both teams, no goals were scored.

The two teams ended in a 0-0 draw and are temporarily sharing second and third place. In this group, U23 Thailand has not played yet and will start on November 9, against U23 Malaysia.
Also on the afternoon of November 7, in Group B of the 26th SEA Games men's football, there were 2 matches between U23 Timor Leste and U23 Philippines, U23 Laos and U23 Brunei.
The surprise happened when U23 Timor Leste won 2-1 against U23 Philippines, thereby rising to the top of Group B with 6 points.
In the first match, U23 Timor Leste players won against U23 Brunei with the same score of 2-1.
Meanwhile, U23 Laos surprisingly let U23 Brunei, returning to the SEA Games for the first time in 15 years, hold them to a 2-2 draw.
Thus, in Group B, the situation is very unpredictable: U23 Timor Leste is temporarily at the top of Group B with 6 points after 2 matches; U23 Vietnam is in second place with 4 points/2 matches; in third place is U23 Myanmar also with 4 points but behind U23 Vietnam due to inferior goal difference; U23 Laos and Brunei both have 1 point.
At the bottom is U23 Philippines, who have not scored any points after 2 consecutive losses. Notably, U23 Philippines, along with U23 Myanmar and Laos, are the teams that are considered to be competing for the second ticket of Group B to the semi-finals. The first ticket of this group is said to belong to U23 Vietnam.
