JAKARTA - The victory of the Indonesian U-17 National Team in the first match of the 2026 AFF U-17 Cup group stage affected the provisional standings.
The Garuda Muda team started the 2026 AFF U-17 Cup by facing Timor Leste. In the match which took place on Monday, April 13, 2026, at the Gelora Joko Samudro Stadium, Gresik, East Java, a landslide victory was achieved at the end of the match.
The team coached by Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto ensured victory through four goals, all of which were created in the first half.
The two opening goals of the Indonesian U-17 National Team were scored by Putu Ekayana Pratama. Meanwhile, the other two were the contributions of Ridho and Dava Yunna Putra.
One of the four goals for Garuda Muda even managed to steal the attention because it was created in an unusual way. Dava Yunna's execution in the 42nd minute occurred through an acrobatic action using a header assist.
The goal of the salto also brought Indonesia U-17 ahead 4-0 which then lasted until the end of the match.
This victory over Timor Leste makes Indonesia U-17 share the top of the standings with Vietnam. Previously, Vietnam also successfully won 4-0 over Malaysia.
