Macau U20 and Singapore U20 met in the second round of Group Stage matches in the AFC U20 Cup on September 3rd 2026. The visitors took all three points with a 1-0 win. It was a tight affair where the margin between sides proved razor-thin.
The decisive moment arrived in the twenty-ninth minute. S. Raj opened the scoring for Singapore, and that would be the only goal of the game. And here's the thing — Macau pushed for an equaliser but found no answer.
Macau's recent form has been challenging. They lost 0-5 to Chinese Taipei U20 in their last outing, and before that a 0-5 defeat to Saudi Arabia U20. The pattern of heavy losses has been hard to break.
Singapore came into this fixture with mixed results. A 3-1 victory over Bhutan U20 on August 31st gave them momentum, though they had also lost 1-2 to Jordan U20 earlier in February. By then they were finding their rhythm.
The win moves Singapore forward in the group standings. Macau remain searching for their first positive result in this campaign, and the pressure will only mount from here.
