The shock named U.17 Indonesia
U.17 Indonesia is considered to be in a suitable group in the 2025 AFC U.17 Championship finals. In addition to U.17 Korea at a higher level, both opponents U.17 Yemen and U.17 Afghanistan are considered to be suitable for U.17 Indonesia to think about a ticket to the group stage.
However, as a young team that won 2 points at the 2023 U.17 World Cup (Indonesia played the role of host), as well as the morale from the qualifying round when holding U.17 Australia to a draw, U.17 Indonesia played with determination against the current runner-up U.17 Korea.
Coach Nova Arianto's players retreated deep to defend, ready to give up control of the ball to U.17 Korea. This was an obvious choice when facing a much stronger opponent, however, U.17 Indonesia did not make it easy for the opponent to find a way to the goal.
U.17 Indonesia temporarily leads Group C
The defense and midfielders of U.17 Indonesia kept close distance to cover each other very well. Combined with the dedication and determination typical of Indonesian football, the Southeast Asian representative made it difficult for U.17 Korea. Although U.17 Korea shot 10 times in the first half, Dafa Setiawarman's goal was still protected.
The resilience of U.17 Indonesia made U.17 Korea more and more impatient as they played. Coach Arianto's team also prepared a good physical foundation, when they were able to compete with their opponents until the last minutes.
In the 90+1 minute, the U.17 Korean defense made a mistake in the penalty area. Referee Jin Jingyuan pointed to the penalty spot. Although Evandra Florasta failed to take the penalty, he quickly made up for his mistake with a decisive shot, scoring the only goal of the match.
Defeating U.17 Korea, U.17 Indonesia has 3 precious points to dream of a ticket to the quarterfinals, which means a place at the U.17 World Cup 2025. If they have at least 1 to 3 points in the remaining 2 matches against U.17 Yemen and U.17 Afghanistan, Mr. Arianto and his team will continue.
