The Young Lions’ last victory over Vietnam at the regional meet was in 2013, when they clinched a 1-0 win en route to the bronze medal. That was the last time the team progressed out of the group stage at the SEA Games.
Aw’s Singapore side have been grouped with Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Laos in what has been billed the group of death.
The last time Singapore advanced to the finals was in 1989, when the team were beaten 3-1 by Malaysia.
The Young Lions next face Laos on Saturday (May 6). Failure to beat the Laotians will all but confirm their elimination.
Singapore will go to the remaining matches looking to garner the wins, said Aw.
“If there are any teams that want to take points off us, they will have to work hard for it,” the coach added.
“With this spirit going into the last two games, it bodes well for us.”
