The 1-0 position lasted until the final whistle of the second half was blown by a referee from China, Ma Ning. The defeat ended the dream of the Indonesian national team to the 2026 World Cup finals which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Indonesia only occupies the position of caretaker of Group B, after also losing 2-3 to Saudi Arabia in the previous match, last October 8.
