Jakarta, tvOnenews.com – The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, must be happy because one of the valuable assets of the Garuda squad suddenly received world recognition.
The Indonesian national team has just swallowed the bitter pill in its last two matches in the third round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/02/thanks-to-fifa-the-indonesian-national-team-can-go-to-the-2026-world-cup/" title="Thanks to FIFA, the Indonesian National Team can go to the 2026 World Cup“>Asian zone.
From two visits to Bahrain and China, the Garuda squad failed to win after being held 2-2 in Riffa and losing 1-2 in Qingdao.
An imminent victory over Bahrain was ruined by Mohamed Marhoon’s late goal, which equalized the score in the final minutes of the second half.
The goal occurred controversially because referee Ahmed Al Kaf allowed the match to continue after the end of extra time.
Garuda supporters also hoped that the Indonesian National Team would win over China when they visited Qingdao, but the opposite happened.
