I Putu Panji Apriawan and his friends initially fell behind because the Laos players got a prize in the penalty box and successfully broke through the Indonesian goal in the 7th minute.
Then, Nova Arianto’s team immediately adjusted by turning things around, scoring six goals in return against Laos, from a brilliant attack scheme and long-range throws from Fabio Azka Irawan.
One of the mainstay players in the Indonesian U-16 national team, Fabio Azka is a potential star who will become the next generation of Pratama Arhan.
This victory also ensured that Indonesia emerged as the winner of Group A by collecting 9 points.
