Dinh Bac leads the ASEAN Cup 2026 Golden Boot race, Indonesia striker's chances are over.

Nguyen Dinh Bac has emerged as the standout figure in the ASEAN Cup 2026 Golden Boot race, leading the scoring charts with 5 goals.

Dinh Bac had an impressive performance right in the opening match against Timor-Leste. The Vietnamese striker scored a hat-trick in a 7-0 victory, with goals in the 31st, 42nd, and 65th minutes.

In the final group stage match against Cambodia, Dinh Bac continued to shine. He scored 2 goals in the 18th and 89th minutes, helping Vietnam secure a 3-1 victory and a ticket to the semifinals.

With a total of 5 goals, Dinh Bac currently holds the top spot in the ASEAN Cup 2026 scoring list. Notably, Vietnam completed the group stage with 3 wins, 1 draw, scoring 13 goals and conceding only 1.

Right behind Dinh Bac are Mitchell Baker of Indonesia and Win Naing Tun of Myanmar, both with 4 goals. Baker made a strong impression by scoring a hat-trick in Indonesia's 5-1 win over Cambodia, then continued to score in a 3-0 victory over Timor-Leste. However, Baker can no longer increase his goal tally as Indonesia were eliminated in the group stage after a 1-1 draw with Singapore on the evening of August 7.

The group of players with 3 goals in ASEAN Cup 2026 includes Paulo Josue (Malaysia), Than Paing (Myanmar), and Ilhan Fandi (Singapore). Among them, Paulo Josue scored a brace against Myanmar, while Ilhan Fandi scored in the 1-1 draw between Singapore and Indonesia.

The ASEAN Cup 2026 Golden Boot race remains exciting with the semifinals and final still ahead. Overall, Dinh Bac will need to maintain his form if he wants to become the ASEAN Cup 2026 Golden Boot winner.
