Jakarta - One goal scored by Indonesian national team player who strengthened Ipswich Town, Elkan Baggot, was unable to save his team from a 1-3 defeat to Fulham in the last 16 of the League Cup played at Portman Road, Thursday WIB.

Reported by Antara, November 2, one Baggot goal (79') only became an Ipswich entertainer after the visitors appeared violent by scoring three goals through Harry Wilson (9'), Rodrigo Muniz (50'), and Tom Cairney (77').

Baggot, who in three League Cup games this season, has always played from the start, in this match he only became a substitute because defender Axel Tuanzebe and Cameron Total was chosen by coach Kieran McKenna to become a strong bulwark in defense.

Jalannya laga, Fulham sebagai tim tamu berani cepat melalui Harry Wilson pada menit ke-9. Mantan pemain Liverpool itu melewati kiper Christianqur yang keluar dari kakil penalti sebelum menyeploskan bola dengan mudah ke gawang yang sudah kosong. Fulham unggul 1-0 dan skor itu menutup babak pertama.

Entering the second half, Marco Silva's team doubled their lead. Starting from a cross from the right side, Rodrigo Muniz, who was free-standing, had no trouble conqueringAME in the 50th minute. Score 2-0 to Fulham.

In the 60th minute, Kieran McKenna as coach then changed defender Cameron Right to include Elkan Baggot.

After entering, the owner of 17 caps with the Indonesian national team made a mistake which led to the visitors' third goal. Baggot failed to control well when Raul Jimenez received a pass and this allowed the former Wolves striker to give the ball to Bobby Decordova-Reid who had an empty space.

The agile 30-year-old wing then provided a low cross which was then met with Tom Cairney's directed shot in the 77th minute. Fulham lead three goals.

Two minutes later, Elkan Baggot paid for his mistake where the tall defender listed his name on the scoreboard in the 79th minute when his header from Jack Taylor's corner, failed to be secured by Fulham goalkeeper

Baggot's first goal for Ipswich saw his team reduce the position to 1-3.

In the remainder of the second half, no goals were scored, nor from Elkan Baggot. The score did not change until the end of the game and The Tractor Boys, the nickname Ipswich failed to advance to the last eight of the League Cup.
