JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team resumed their struggle in the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup against the U-23 Philippines in the second match of Group A.

The U-23 Indonesian national team match against the Philippines will be presented at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, on Friday, July 18, 2025, at 20.00 WIB. This match was also broadcast live on the Indosiar television station.

Ahead of this match, the strength of the Garuda Muda and the Philippines squad can be said to be equally strong. The reason is, in the inaugural match, each team bagged a win.

Indonesia beat Brunei Darussalam U-23 with a landslide score of 8-0, of which six goals were contributed by Jens Raven. Meanwhile, the Philippines beat Malaysia U-23 with a score of 2-0 in its inaugural match.

With each team bagging one win, this match opened wide the way for both teams to get tickets to the semifinals. This match can be likened to a live-dead duel.

If the U-23 Indonesian national team is able to win against the Philippines, Gerald Vanenburg's team only needs a draw against Malaysia to win the group.

For the Philippines, the victory over Indonesia U-23 will actually make them win the group title.

The reason is, they will collect six points and it is certain that they will win head-to-head over Indonesia U-23 and Malaysia even though they lost to Brunei in the last match.

In another match, Malaysia will face Brunei. This match is an opportunity for Malaysia to win the first three points in this tournament.

In the AFF U-23 Cup format, the three group winners will qualify for the semifinals. While one other slot will belong to the best runners-up.
