Syria team beat India, Indonesian media concerned about home team's chances of advancing

The most anticipated match in Group B is the clash between Syria and India at Al Bayt Stadium. Syria has 1 point and only needs to win against India to have a high chance of advancing to the round of 16.

The Syrian team showed their determination with 20 shots on the Indian team's goal. Coach Hector Cuper was also happy when star Omar Khribin scored the only goal in the 77th minute. The 1-0 victory helped the Syrian team gain 4 points after 3 matches, ranking 3rd in Group B and they celebrated happily after the final whistle.

Syria is the third-ranked team with the best results.

Omar Khribin (No. 7) celebrates emotionally after scoring the only goal against the Indian team.

Witnessing the developments at Al Bayt Stadium, CNN Indonesia expressed regret: “The Syrian team played with determination and what they needed finally came. Omar Khribin was the hero of this team when he took advantage of the opportunity and scored in the 77th minute.

Syria maintained a 1-0 lead over India until the end of the match. The victory over India put Syria temporarily at the top of the group of the best third-placed teams.

Omar Khribin's goal could make the Indonesian team worried. We have dropped to 3rd place and have to face a tough opponent, Japan, in the final round. The task of getting points is a must to decide our own fate. However, it is a really difficult task for coach Shin Tae-yong and his students.

Now, there is one match that gives Indonesian fans hope, the clash between Palestine and Hong Kong at C. Garuda can breathe a sigh of relief if the two teams end the match in a draw.

The Indonesian team needs to score against Japan in the final match to keep their hopes of advancing alive.

Bola Times predicts: “Indonesia has dropped to third place. Syria is in first place in the group of third-placed teams. Bahrain is in second place with three points after two matches, China is in fourth place with two points after three matches. Oman is in fifth place with one point after two matches, and the most disadvantaged is Palestine with only one point after two matches.

Based on this ranking, the Indonesian team has the upper hand over the Chinese team - a team that is no longer playing. If the Palestinian team is held by Hong Kong in the decisive match day of Group C of the 2023 Asian Cup at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, Indonesia will definitely qualify for the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup.

Every Indonesian fan is cheering for that scenario to happen. We will face a huge challenge in the form of the Japanese team. No matter how optimistic you are, you have to admit that getting a point against Japan is impossible for the Indonesian team."

The Japanese team, after losing to the Iraqi team, is also in a difficult situation in Group D.

In the final match of Group D taking place at 6:30 p.m. on January 24, the Indonesian team will face Japan. This is an important match, directly affecting the 2nd and 3rd positions in Group D. Meanwhile, in the match at the same time, the Vietnamese team will have a formality match with the team currently ranked first in the group, Iraq.
