jpnn.com, JAKARTA – The Indonesian U19 national team earned their first victory in a test after beating Qatar U19 2-1 at the SRC Mladost Stadium, Cakovec, Croatia on Thursday night (9/17).
Garuda Nusantara, under the polish of Shin Tae Yong, relies more on defensive play along with quick counterattacks.
Leaning on the 4-4-2 formation, Shin Tae Yong is looking to test some new players in the starting lineup. For example, Supriadi and Braif Fatari started from minute one.
Then there’s Rizky Ridho coming back as a starter to replace Ahmad Rusadi, who previously played from the opening minutes. Also, Bagas Kaffa, who now plays as a starter.
In this game, Qatar did appear more offensive and pressing from the first minutes. They control the game.
The pressure applied brought the Garuda Nusantara’s baseline down. Ten minutes into the game, M Ady Satryo’s goal was conceded.
The action of Jassim Mohammed, who fired a strong kick, was denied by the Indonesian goalkeeper. Qatar winning 0-1.
Left behind, the Indonesian players began to dare to attack. They patiently built their attacks until finally a penetration into the penalty area by M Supriadi threatened Qatar’s goal.
