Personally, I almost couldn't believe it when I saw the Indonesian national team win last night's match with a score of 2-0 against Saudi Arabia because in their last match against Japan with 0-4, I was convinced that Indonesia would not play this well. Yes, what you say is true, because this is football, of course there are always surprises and of course we should not underestimate a team's performance because of course we very often come across teams that are considered weak but end up winning a match.
Yes, now Indonesia has succeeded in fighting Saudi Arabia and of course this is a good achievement for Indonesia considering that Saudi Arabia is of course very different from Indonesia in the FIFA rankings and Indonesia really performed well in last night's match and until the end of the match it was a shame that Saudi Arabia was unable to score. goal against Indonesia.
Yes, because Indonesia's defense was good, Indonesia was finally able to win and finally Indonesia was able to guard its goal, which in the end, there were no goals scored from Saudi Arabia against Indonesia, but there were so many opportunities created by Saudi Arabia, but unfortunately, Saudi Arabia couldn't take advantage of the opportunities well, yes, score 2- 0 for Indonesia's victory is very impressive.
In the other match, Japan played well and in the end Japan was able to end the match with a 1-3 win. To be honest, I thought Japan would increase their goals to 4 but the Chinese players fought hard to maintain the score.
In the previous match, Indonesia managed to draw when visiting Saudi Arabia with a score of 1-1. So it is not surprising that in the end Indonesia managed to beat Saudi Arabia at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. Because when Indonesia plays at home, they will get an injection of burning enthusiasm from Garuda supporters, the atmosphere shown by Garuda supporters last night was extraordinary.
And of course this is an extraordinary achievement, this is the first time Indonesia has managed to silence Saudi Arabia in 11 meetings between the two. In last night's match, Indonesia's defense line performed well so that only a little space was given for Saudi Arabia to launch kicks at Indonesia's goal, because it was recorded that out of 23 shots launched by Saudi Arabia, at least only 3 shots were on target. In this match, Indonesia did not dominate the match too much, but the young Garuda managed to maximize every opportunity they got. And Marcelino was the main star in last night's match, he managed to contribute 2 goals in this match.
It seems like yesterday night when the Indonesian national team played against Saudi Arabia, there were definitely quite a few who predicted that Saudi Arabia would win because of course Saudi Arabia is a country that always takes part in the world cup, so of course many people predicted that Saudi Arabia would win and to be honest, personally, before the match started, I predicted that Saudi Arabia would win, but yes, the Indonesian national team showed its greatness to the world that Indonesia was a strong team.
But indeed, if you look at the last meeting between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia before yesterday night's match, the result was a draw when Indonesia was the visiting team, so it is normal for Indonesia to win at home. because the Indonesian fans were very supportive of yesterday night's match.
Yes, it wasn't easy for Indonesia in yesterday night's match, but it looks like Shin Tae-yong succeeded in making a good strategy in that match and it is true that Indonesia was able to take advantage of the opportunity well. Yes, Marselino is the hero and he scored 2 goals for Indonesia and honestly I really like the way he celebrates. Yes, I hope that in the next match when Indonesia plays Australia, Indonesia can win.
