Indonesia U-20 Vs Thailand U-20 Results: Young Garuda Defeated 2-0

JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team swallowed a bitter result when they faced Thailand U-20 in the second match of the Seoul Earth Pn Us Cup 2024. Having won over Argentina U-20 in the inaugural match, this time Indra Sjafri's team lost 0-2 to Thailand.

Appearing at the Mokdong Stadium, South Korea, on Friday, August 30, 2024, at noon WIB, Thailand had indeed been pressing since the early minutes. Through short passes, the movement of the opposing team is quite difficult for the U-20 Indonesian national team.

The U-20 Indonesian national team immediately missed when the game had only been running for 10 minutes. Thailand scored the opening point for Garuda Muda defender Rahmat Syawal to make a mistake.

Intending to send a pass to Dony Tri Pamungkas in his own penalty box, Rahmat's pass was won by Thanawut Phochai who then released a pass to Caelan Ryan. Ryan then scored easily.

The U-20 Indonesian national team tried to remain calm even though they were left behind. The first chance came in the 19th minute when Marselinus Ama Ola got a pass in the penalty box from Toni Firmansyah. However, his shot was too weak and failed to convert into a goal.

After the first 20 minutes passed, almost no golden opportunity was created for both teams. Although more possession of the ball, Thailand also did not seem threatening and lowered the tempo until halftime.

Continued to the second half, Indra Sjafri rotated the team to appear stronger. This time the coach pulled Fitrah Maulana Ridwan, Rahmat Syawal, Maouri Ananda, and Muhammad Ragil to be replaced by Camara Ousmane, Meshaal Osman, Rifky Tofani, and Aditya Warman.

In the 51st minute, the opportunity was open for the U-20 Indonesian national team through the dead ball situation that Iqbal Gwijangge used. However, Iqbal's flick was still not right on the opponent's goal.

The threat of the U-20 Indonesian national team was created again in the 58th minute, but still has not yielded results. Ousmane Camara's shot is still soaring.

Until 90 minutes lasted, the score did not change. However, instead of chasing down, the U-20 Indonesian national team conceded again in the second half injury time.

Ratthaphum Chotmuangpak became the player who put Thailand 2-0 up. His kick was blocked by Alfahrezi Buffon, but he passed and passed another Indonesian U-20 defender who was on guard in front of the goal line.

The goal was protested. However, the referee was able to control the commotion until the game was over, there were no more goals. Indonesia U-20 lost 0-2 to Thailand.
