Jakarta –
Justin Hubner’s debut with the Indonesian National Team did not go well. He felt the bitterness of making a blunder and Garuda was crushed by Libya 0-4.
Justin Hubner entered in the second half of the match at the Mardan Sports Complex, Antalya, Turkey, Tuesday (2/1/2024). He made a fatal blunder which had fatal results for Indonesia towards the end of the match.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers player made a very bad pass in the penalty box. The ball was easily stolen by a Libyan player which made them lead 3-0.
“This is my first match. This match is really difficult because it is a new system for me, a new formation for me,” said Justin Hubner, quoted from the PSSI website.
“So it’s really a difficult match to play. But I’m still happy to be able to play my first match with the Indonesian national team,” he added.
Justin just joined the Garuda squad on Tuesday (2/1). He did not participate in the Indonesian national team’s training camp since it was first held in Türkiye.
In this match, Libya won 4-0 through goals scored by Ahmed Ekrawa (25′), Omar Al Khoja (58′), Nour Al Din Al Qulaib (89′), and Alaa Al Qajdar (90+2′).
Next, the Indonesian National Team will face Libya again in the second trial which will take place on Friday (5/1). This trial is a warm-up for Indonesia towards the 2023 Asian Cup.
Shin Tae-yong’s team is in Group D with Iraq, Japan and Vietnam. The Indonesian national team will face their first match against Iraq on January 15.
