Indonesia eliminated from U23 Asia qualifiers, lower points than Cambodia

TPO - U23 Indonesia just lost 0-1 to U23 Korea at home. They finished the U23 Asian qualifiers with 4 points, equal to Laos. This team also ranked 2nd but even had less points than Cambodia in Group G.

In the match in Group J, U23 Indonesia entered the match against U23 Korea with a lot of pressure because they had to win to be able to continue, while for Korea, just a draw would also get them a ticket to the finals. And with a stronger force and a more relaxed mentality, Korea entered the match confidently, quickly putting pressure on the opponent.

In the 6th minute, U23 Korea put the pressure on. Hwang Do-yun received an assist from Lee Seung-won and then neatly finished the ball into the net. U23 Indonesia also occasionally created opportunities, such as in the 20th minute when naturalized player Dion Markx fired a shot. However, the ball went wide of the goal. In the 42nd minute, Kadek Arel shot but could not penetrate the solid defense of Korea.

The situations that U23 Indonesia created were very modest compared to the number of opportunities of U23 Korea. Park Seung-ho, Kim Ji-soo... continuously shot but luck was not on their side. Korea ended the first half with a 1-0 advantage.

U23 Indonesia is completely helpless in organizing attacks.

In the second half, South Korea continued to increase the pressure on Indonesia's defense. The Korean representative was superior in the ability to organize the match. They made Indonesia, who should have won, helpless. They did not often attack smoothly, making it difficult to approach the opponent's penalty area.

In the last 20 minutes, U23 Indonesia launched a total attack but they encountered a solid defense system from U23 Korea. Good physique and superior physical strength also helped Korea easily beat Indonesia in one-on-one battles.

Coach Vadenburg tried to adjust the attack, but in vain when U23 Indonesia's arrangements were almost blocked. In the whole second half, they only created 1 good chance when Raven had a dangerous attack. However, his header was not strong enough to cause difficulties for the U23 Korean goalkeeper. 5 minutes of extra time did not help the host Indonesia change the situation. They accepted a 0-1 loss and were eliminated. This team only had 4 points like Laos, not even equal to Cambodia (second in Group G with 5 points).
