2024 U-23 Asian Cup: Rewarded with 2 Red Cards and a Penalty, the Indonesian National Team Defeated by Qatar

Indonesia suffered a disaster 30 seconds after the second half started. Ivan Jenner received a second yellow card for violating Saif. Indonesia also had to play with 10 players in the remaining matches.

This advantage in the number of players was maximized well by Qatar. In the 54th minute, Qatar doubled the score through Al Rawi's free kick.

Behind two goals, Indonesia tried to put pressure on Qatar. Garuda Muda was able to control the course of the match even though they were outnumbered by players. Two opportunities were obtained through free kicks from Pratama Arhan and Nathan Tjoe A On, but they still missed the target.

Indonesia's most mature opportunity came in the 62nd minute when Marselino's hard kick from outside the penalty box was parried with difficulty by Abdullah.

To increase his hitting power, Shin Tae-yong included Ramadhan Sananta and Fajar Fathur Rahman. However, Indonesia had difficulty penetrating Qatar's defense for the remainder of the match.

In fact, in the 90+6 minute Indonesia had to play with nine players after Sananta was given a straight red card for stepping on an opposing player's foot. The referee initially only gave Sananta a yellow card. But after seeing VAR it was revised to a straight red card.

This defeat made Indonesia the bottom of A because in the other match Australia played a goalless draw with Jordan.
