JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team lost against Jordan U-20 in a mini tournament titled Mandiri U-20 Challenge Series 2025 on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Indra Sjafri's troops lost 0-1 even though Jordan played 10 players since the 17th minute at the Gelora Delta Stadium, Sidoarjo.
Garuda Muda was missed in the fourth minute through Ibrahim Mohammad Abdallah Sabra's goal. He stood free to welcome a cross with a header that Ikram Algiffari failed to anticipate.
After that goal, Jordan had to lose goalkeeper Salameh Ali Salameh Salman who got a red card in the 17th minute.
He was expelled after committing a foul while trying to stop Muhammad Ragil who was running to try to catch the ball from a through ball outside the penalty box.

Jordanian coach Pieter Meindertsma pulled Omar Khadr out to be replaced by goalkeeper Abdullah Al Shaqran.
After the foul, Kadek Arel who executed the free-kick failed. His shot still bounced over the opponent's goal.
In the 22nd minute, disaster came again for Jordan. Indonesia U-20 got a golden opportunity to score a goal after goalkeeper Al Shaqran fouled the penalty box.
However, the execution of the penalty from Welber Jardim was even successfully read by the Jordan goalkeeper.
Indonesia U-20, which was superior in the number of players, then bombarded the opponent's defense to find an equalizer.
A number of opportunities were created, but until halftime nothing bore fruit.
Continuing to the second half, Indonesia U-20 tried to make changes to increase the strength of the bang.
It's just that, instead of continuing to press, Garuda Muda is threatened with Jordan's game, which is not afraid to go out to attack despite losing the number of players.
The opportunity for Indonesia U-20 was only created in the 60th minute. Dony Tri Pamungkas fired, but the Jordan goalkeeper could still stop.
Indonesia U-20 cannot maximize the players' advantages well. They often make mistakes in passes so that opportunities do not threaten the Jordanian goal too much.
On the other hand, Jordan often threatens through counter-attacks, even more dangerous.
In the remaining time, various efforts by Garuda Muda failed to lead to an equalizer goal. The difficulty of dismantling the Jordanian defense and drafting a hasty attack scheme was a factor in this failure.
This mini tournament is a series of preparations for Indonesia U-20 towards the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup which will be held on February 12, 2025 in China.
