Holding a healthy lead from the first leg did not stop the Southeast Asian side from starting on the front foot at the Macau Olympic Stadium.

Their early aggression paid off as quickly as the 10th minute with Azwan Ali Rahman giving them the lead.

Macau couldn't make much inroads in the second half while Brunei Darussalam were content to defend their lead, which meant little goalmouth action as the Southeast Asian side took their place in the final round of the qualifiers with 23 other teams.

At stake in the third round will be six tickets to the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™, with the 18 other berths already filled by the sides competing in the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ - Road to 26.

The draw for the third round of the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 will be conducted in December with the matches to commence in March with only the six group winners to advance to the Finals.
