ASEAN Cup 2026 Top Scorer Race: Two Players Ahead of Nguyen Dinh Bac

Following the completion of three matches per group in the ASEAN Cup 2026 group stage, the competition for the Golden Boot award is heating up.

Notably, Vietnam striker Nguyen Dinh Bac has risen to the leading group and become the biggest hope for Vietnamese football.

Currently, Mitchell Baker (Indonesia) and Win Naing Tun (Myanmar) jointly top the scoring charts with 4 goals each. Notably, Win Naing Tun moved into the lead after scoring a hat-trick against Laos on August 4.

Right behind them are the players with 3 goals: Nguyen Dinh Bac (Vietnam), Paulo Josué (Malaysia), and Than Paing (Myanmar). Dinh Bac scored all three goals in the 7-0 thrashing of Timor-Leste, before drawing 0-0 with Singapore and beating Indonesia 3-0 to lead Group A.

A notable point is that Vietnam still has a match against Cambodia in the final round and is highly likely to advance to the semifinals. Therefore, Dinh Bac has a great opportunity to increase his tally and compete with Baker and Win Naing Tun.

Additionally, his teammates Hoang Hen and Nguyen Xuan Son have also scored 2 goals each, making Vietnam one of the most formidable attacking teams in the tournament.

With the semifinals and final offering up to 4 more matches for the advancing teams, the ASEAN Cup 2026 Top Scorer race remains wide open. If he continues his explosive form and helps Vietnam go deep, Nguyen Dinh Bac has every chance to surpass his rivals and become the tournament's top scorer.
