3 Keys to the Success of the Indonesian U-20 National Team in Silencing Argentina at the Seoul On Earth US Cup 2024

Todaysgist.com, Jakarta – The Indonesian U-20 national team managed to create an extraordinary surprise by defeating Argentina U-20 with a score of 2-1 in the opening match of the Seoul On Earth Us Cup 2024 which took place in South Korea on Wednesday (28/8/2024) afternoon WIB.

As expected, Argentina immediately played aggressively from the start. Although the Indonesian U-20 National Team only got a few chances to attack, they finally achieved a very meaningful victory.

This victory felt special, because the Indonesian U-20 National Team had fallen behind first after Mirko Juarez scored a goal for Argentina in the 18th minute.

However, the fighting spirit of the Indonesian U-20 National Team did not die down. Under the guidance of Indra Sjafri, they managed to make an impressive comeback in the second half.

The two goals that brought the Indonesian U-20 National Team to victory were scored by Kadek Arek Priyatna in the 74th minute, and Maori Simon who successfully increased the lead through a penalty kick five minutes later.

In several moments, La Albiceleste’s young players appeared to commit unnecessary fouls against the Indonesian U-20 National Team players. Some of these included elbows and excessive movements.

One of the most striking incidents occurred when Alfarezzi Buffon was hit in the face by an Argentine player’s foot in the second half. Not only that, an Argentine official also had to receive a red card from the referee for excessive protests.

Here are three keys to success that led the Indonesian U-20 National Team to a surprising victory over Argentina.
