Sayuri Brothers Playing Together In The Indonesian National Team, Get Securities Against Japan

JAKARTA - Malut United players, Yance Sayuri, stated that they learned valuable lessons and experiences when performing fully with the Indonesian National Team (Timnas) when they were defeated by Japan 0-6 at Suita Stadium, Osaka, Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

Yance took care of the right side of the Garuda Squad from the onslaught of Daichi Kamada, Shunsuke Mito, and Junn Badminton Suzuki in the first half. Then, pressure also came from Keito Nakamura, Kodai Sano, and Kota Tawarda in the second half.

"A very valuable lesson and experience," Yance wrote in his personal Instagram account upload.

Yance, who previously sat on the bench against China, was taken down by Patrick Kluivert from the early minutes to fill the right-wing striker position.

The player who played his second performance with the Garuda Squad later transformed into a right-back after Kevin Diks was injured and replaced by Yakob Sayuri in the 27th minute.

This is the second appearance with the Sayuri duo in the Indonesian national team after fighting Burundi in the trial on March 28, 2023 when Indonesia was still being handled by Shin Tae-yong.

Yance once said that playing together in the Indonesian national team with Yakob was a longing for him.

"That's my longing, it must be in the Indonesian national team with him. Even though it's a few minutes, basically we can play together in official matches like this," said Yance on Media Day with the Indonesian national team, 12 November 2024.

Unfortunately, togetherness with Yakob lasted for a while because his brother was withdrawn in the 42nd minute to be replaced by Marselino Ferdinand due to injury.

In that match, Yance made 33 touches, 15 passes with an accuracy of 60 percent, one debris success, three sweeps, and two tackles.
