Indonesia suffered a comprehensive defeat against Japan. |
"Japan only used the B team to beat Indonesia", "This is the class of Japan, a team that regularly participates in the World Cup", "No shots on target, no shots outside the goal. What is happening to Indonesia?", "Indonesia is brought back to earth", "A huge difference"... are the common reactions of Southeast Asian fans on the ASEAN Football fanpage.
Against the strongest opponent in the continent, Indonesia entered the match with high determination, playing with a defensive 5-4-1 formation, but could not resist the overwhelming strength of the team from the land of the rising sun. Japan completely dominated the first half, controlling the ball 68% and launching 8 shots, while Indonesia only knew how to defend without any chance to attack.
Just after 15 minutes of play, the Indonesian defense conceded the first goal when Kamada headed a cross from the left wing, defeating goalkeeper Audero. Just 4 minutes later, the score was raised to 2-0 when Takefusa Kubo had a beautiful shot from close range. Before the end of the first half, the Real Sociedad star continued to make his mark with an assist for Kamada to complete his double.
In the second half, Japan continued to maintain strong pressure. Meanwhile, despite trying to fight back, the players' fatigue made it impossible for Indonesia to avoid conceding goals.
After two matches against Indonesia in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, Japan showed their superior strength with a total score of 10-0. In the second leg, Indonesia did not even have a single shot. However, this defeat did not affect the Southeast Asian representative as they quickly secured a ticket to the fourth qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup from the previous match.
