Group G: Selangor FC (MAS) 0-1 Lion City Sailors FC (SGP)

Petaling Jaya: Lion City Sailors claimed a 1-0 win over Malaysia Super League outfit Selangor at MBPJ Stadium on Wednesday but the victory in Group G was not enough to prevent last season’s runners-up from crashing out of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™.

Tsye Ndenge’s 50th minute strike earned Lion City the points they needed to keep their hopes of a place in the knockout rounds alive but Persib Bandung’s 1-0 win over Bangkok United saw the Singaporeans eliminated due to an inferior head-to-head record.
 
As a result, Lion City finish third in Group G behind table-toppers Persib and second-placed Bangkok United on 10 points with Selangor already eliminated with a solitary point from their six matches.
