At the 33rd SEA Games, Indonesia showed great determination in their quest to defend their gold medal. To achieve this, the Indonesian U22 team prepared well in advance, organizing training camps and bringing five naturalized players to Thailand.

However, U22 Indonesia, with a lackluster performance in their opening match, suffered a bitter defeat. This loss puts U22 Indonesia at risk of early elimination from the SEA Games 33 if Malaysia draws with Vietnam in the final Group B match.

However, Vietnam U22's victory over Malaysia on December 11th opened up an opportunity for the Indonesian players to advance to the semi-finals. Specifically, the Indonesian team must win by a margin of 3 goals or more to progress.

Despite having their fate in their own hands, the Indonesian U22 team delivered a disappointing first-half performance against Myanmar U22. Indonesia even had to rely on a mistake by the opposing goalkeeper to equalize at the end of the first half.

In a deadlock situation, naturalized striker Jens Raven was brought on to try and create scoring opportunities for Indonesia.

However, it wasn't until the final minutes of the match that naturalized striker Jens Raven scored a brace to make the score 3-1.

Jens Raven's late goals were all Indonesia could do against U22 Myanmar. U22 Indonesia failed to secure the best second-place finish in the group and had to concede their semi-final spot to Malaysia.

Immediately after the final whistle, the cameras quickly captured the moment when naturalized striker Jens Raven burst into tears. Despite his efforts to score two goals, the Indonesian U22 team suffered a bitter elimination from the SEA Games 33.

Meanwhile, the Dutch-born captain of the Indonesian U22 team apologized to the fans: “As captain, I feel responsible for our inability to advance to the next round. I know that everyone had high hopes and expectations, and we really wanted to make you proud.”

The Indonesian captain also stated that he and his teammates will try to bounce back. The Dutch-born player pledged that Indonesia will return stronger in other tournaments in the future.
