Match Summary

According to Tribunnews, the Indonesian national team began the game with an open and wide attacking approach.

Indonesia immediately applied pressure on Oman.

The Garuda squad created their first scoring opportunity early in the first half.

After several attacking attempts, Indonesia finally found the breakthrough they were looking for.

A free kick from the right side of Oman’s penalty box was taken by Nathan Tjoe-A-On.

His precise cross was met by Justin Hubner, who won the aerial duel against the Omani defender.

The score became 1-0 for Indonesia in the 13th minute.

The Garuda players continued to press aggressively.

Joe Pelupessy and Ragnar Oratmangoen each contributed to opening up attacks from the left flank.

However, those efforts initially did not produce additional goals.

In the 27th minute, Indonesia extended their lead.

A defensive blunder from Oman allowed the ball to fall kindly to Ole Romeny.

Ole accelerated into the penalty area and unleashed a low shot that the Omani goalkeeper failed to stop.

The score moved to 2-0 in favour of Indonesia.

In the 37th minute, Oman earned a penalty after Justin Hubner committed a foul inside the box.

The referee immediately pointed to the spot.

However, the Omani player’s shot was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Emil Audero, who guessed correctly to his right and pushed the ball away.

The score remained 2-0 for Indonesia.

In the second half, the national team maintained their attacking intent.

Despite several substitutions by the coach, the attacking flow remained smooth.

As a result, Indonesia added a third goal in the 56th minute.

This time, Ragnar Oratmangoen found the back of the net.

He capitalised on a pass from Ivar Jenner, who had received a neat one-two exchange in midfield.

Ragnar’s close-range tap-in sealed the 3-0 victory for Indonesia.
