Philippines vs Singapore The anticipated first game of the SEA Games saw Singapore dominate but also wasting numerous good chances, many of which were aimed straight at Florencio Badelic Jr.'s goal. In the 31st minute, the Lions had the ball in the back of the net following a free kick, but it was called off as Shakir Hamzah was adjudged to have impeded Badelic in the process. Singapore were unlucky again six minutes later as Sahil Suhaimi was through on goal but his effort rebounded off the post with the slightest of touches from the Filipino custodian. The Philippines had a few chances, mostly created by their tricky wingers Bugas and Salenga. In the fifteenth minute the former's cross found captain Gerardo Valmayor, but despite being completely unmarked he could not direct his header on target. On the stroke of half-time Singapore finally made their dominance pay off through another free-kick as Faris Ramli's fine cross was met by the head of unmarked Sheikh Abdul Hadi's whose effort was beyond the reach of the goalkeeper and the defenders on the line. After Santos of the Philippines missed a good chance Singapore missed an even better one in the 64th minute, after some great passing Sahil was again right in front of goal unmarked but somehow managed to drag his effort horribly wide. The match was very physical and at time was marred by some overzealous challenges, mostly from the Filipinos, although some of Singapore's players were not innocent either. In one particular incident in the 82nd minute, Kennedy Uzoka unintentionally bundled Shakir over, only for the latter to kick out. Uzoka responded by stepping over Shakir, while the defender pretended to be hit in the face. Uzoka received a yellow card although some analysers thought both players should have been sent off.

Myanmar vs Indonesia Myanmar opened the scoring in this encounter in the 21st minute; Kaung Sat Naing lost the ball in the box then it fell kindly to Shine Thura who slotted the ball for the opening goal. They would double their lead seventeen minutes later, as Muhammad Natshir found Nay Lin Tun's free kick too powerful to handle and palmed it right to Sithu Aung, who headed in from barely a yard out. Indonesia created very few chances despite equal amounts of ball possession but nonetheless pulled a goal back just seconds before the half-time whistle as Abduh Lestaluhu's audacious effort from an acute angle found the back of the net via the underside of the crossbar. The goal did little to dampen the Burmese who scored nine minutes after the restart as Hansamu Yama lost the ball to Sithu right outside the penalty box and the latter chipped Natshir who was off the goal-line for his second of the match and his team's third. Myanmar would then further extend their lead in the 64th minute in similar circumstances to their first as the Indonesian defence once again could deal with Nay's free kick and the ball fell right to Kyaw Zin Lwin who scored. With six minutes later and twenty to go Indonesia took advantage of some slack Burmese marking as Ahmad Noviandani got away from the defender to slot the ball at the goalkeepers near post. That would be the end of the scoring in an opening and entertaining game.

Cambodia vs Philippines Cambodia opened the scoring in the 30th minute, when a sliding challenge from a Filipino defender took the ball away from Keo Sokpheng, but it fell right to Prak Mony Udom, and the Cambodian captain unleashed a powerful shot through the goalkeeper's near post. Four minutes later, the Koupreys' lead was doubled as Tith Dina did well to let Sos Suhana's pass go by and it came tight to Sokpheng, his initial shot was cleared off the line by Ronnie Aguisanda, but Sokpheng was on hand to smash the ball home at the second time of asking. Seven minutes into the second half, the Philippines pulled a goal back, when Kennedy Uzoka muscled off the defender marking him and crossed the ball for Paolo Salenga to slot the ball in. There was some controversy in the 65th minute as Ngoy Srin had a goal wrongly disallowed for offsides, but nine minutes from time Cambodia did restore their two-goal lead with Chan Vathanaka calmly slotting home. The match ended on a sour note as frustration showed for Arnel Amita who revived a second yellow card for kicking the ball away after he had committed a foul.

Singapore vs Myanmar Myanmar started strongly and pegged Singapore back with their high pressing game. In the 24th minute, Zon Moe Aung's free kick found captain Nay Lin Tun completely unmarked and he tapped the ball in from close range to open the scoring. Singapore would equalise only ten minutes later though as Phyo Ko Ko Thein was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box. Faris Ramli was given the responsibility of taking the penalty kick and made no mistake, even though Burmese goalkeeper Kyaw Zin Phyo dived the right way he could get nowhere near Faris' shot. Two minutes later Adam Swandi got away from his defender but despite being unmarked Stanely Ng could not connect with his cross. Although Singapore would boss the game from then on in possession and chances it was Myanmar who would get the game winner as on the hour mark Ye Ko Oo's long range free-kick was well struck, although Singaporean goalkeeper Syazwan Buhari seemed to be fooled by an awkward bounce the ball took. Singaporean substitute Irfan Fandi did score in the 77th minute but it was disallowed for a foul by Irfan on the Burmese goaltender in the buildup. Once again Singaporean star forward Sahil Suhaimi had a poor game, missing many clear-cut chances. Myanmar held on to record a second straight win.

Indonesia vs Cambodia Indonesia opened the scoring in the 12th minute, with Adam Alis assisting Muchlis Hadi. They would then double their advantage as Ahmad Noviandani latched onto a long pass seven minutes before the break and powered a shot past the Cambodian goalkeeper who was hesitant to come off his line. Cambodia would pull one back as Syaiful Cahya's heavy challenge on Ngoy Srin resulted in a penalty kick which his captain Prak Mony Udom made no mistake to score from. Cambodia dominated for a few moments but it was Indonesia who scored the next goal in the 68th minute as Muchilis took advantage of some lax defending, and he would grab his hat-trick six minutes later as Evan Dimas' powerful shot from outside the area rebounded off the post but fell perfectly for Muchilis who only had to head the ball into the unguarded net. Indonesia were not done there as five minutes from time Muchilis and substitute Wawan Febrianto exchanged some neat passes with the latter scoring, and then in stoppage time Febrianto passed for Evan who scored himself to complete the 5–1 win.

Philippines vs Myanmar Myanmar secured their progression out of the group while at the same time eliminating the Philippines from any advancement in a free scoring win, although it was the latter who opened the scoring. In the early stages, Shine Thura missed the target when one-on-one with the goalkeeper, before Filipino captain Shirmar Felongco won possession in the middle of the field and surged forward and unleashed a precise shot from outside the area that gave the Philippines the lead. Four minutes later, Myanmar's captain Nay Lin Tun scored the equaliser as his free kick deflected off a Filipino defender and into the net. The Burmese continued to dominate the remainder of the game and although they missed many good chances in the first half, they would take the lead just seconds after the restart as Shine picked up Lin Tun's through ball to score at the near post. In the 62nd minute, Ye Win Aung took advantage of some poor defending to tap in Hlaing Bo Bo's corner into an unguarded net. Another Filipino mistake led to Myanmar's fourth goal seven minutes later, as Nathanael Villanueva completely misjudged Ye Ko Oo's pass, allowing Sithu Aung to slot into an empty goal. The Burmese would grab a fifth in stoppage time, when Kyaw Zin Lwin rifled Kaung Sat Naing's pass into the top corner.
