The Indonesian U-23 national football team, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, caused a major upset by defeating Australia.
The Indonesian national team won 1-0 against powerhouse Australia in the second match of Group A of the group stage of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation U-23 Asian Cup held in Doha, Qatar on the 18th.
Indonesia, who took the lead with Koman Tegu’s goal just before the end of the first half, defended a 1-0 victory by blocking Australia’s waves of attacks with all their might.
Indonesia, who finished second in Group A with a group record of 1 win and 1 loss, will advance to the quarter-finals on their own if they win their final match against Jordan, and they have a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals even if it is a draw.
Coach Shin, who suffered a comprehensive defeat in the first match against the host nation, Qatar, with two players sent off, received a warning after protesting strongly against the referee’s decision, but today showed a glowing expression as it creates sorrow.
Indonesian football fans who cheered as a group also could not hide their joy.
Coach Shin said, “Australia is a very good team, and I thought it would be a tough game in all aspects, including physical condition and individual skills,” and added, “The fact that I told the players for not giving up and that I asked them to play with confidence matching well “I lost.”
Coach Shin said that he would also watch tonight’s match between Korea and China with interest.
This is because if Korea and Indonesia pass the group stage side by side, there is a high possibility that they will face each other in the quarter-finals.
Coach Shin said, “I’m trying to analyze the Korea-China match with a little more focus,” and added, “I’m definitely confident that Indonesia will advance to the quarterfinals, so I think the i should analyze Korea and Japan more. intensely.”
When asked by reporters who he would like to meet more, Korea or Japan, he replied, “I feel more comfortable meeting Japan than Korea.”
The Korean U-23 national team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, is in Group B along with Japan, China and the United Arab Emirates.
