In a major preseason upset, the Southeast Asia All-Star team defeated Manchester United 1-0 in an International Club Friendly on May 28, 2025. A stunning goal from the All-Star selection secured a famous victory over the English giants, providing a memorable moment for football in the region and a surprising result for Erik ten Hag's touring side. The only goal of the game came against the run of play in the 70th minute, with a Southeast Asian forward curling a superb shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. Manchester United dominated possession but were frustrated by a combination of resilient defending and poor finishing, hitting the woodwork twice in the second half. While the result is a minor setback in United's preseason preparations, it serves as a historic triumph for the assembled All-Star squad.
