Penalty for Vietnam!
The referee called it a clear foul as Lionel Tan pulled the jersey of Xuan Son. He even sent Tan off for the play. However, after Singapore players reacted, he viewed the play on VAR again and withdrew his decision and only gave a yellow card to Tan.

Vietnam's goal is disallowed
Nguyen Hai Long crossed the ball from the right flank to Chau Ngoc Quang, who headed into the far corner of the net. However, the referee signaled that Ngoc Quang had fouled a Singapore defender before finishing.
The ASEAN Cup semifinals and final this year don't apply the away goals rule, so the team that scoresmore goals over the two legs will win the match. With a 2-0 victory in the first leg, Vietnam will still reach the final even if they lose by one goal. Throughout the history of the tournament, since the semi-finals were played in two legs, no team has overturned a two-goal deficit in the first leg, and Singapore are trying to overcome that.
