JAKARTA - The Philippine national team will host Indonesia at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Philippines, in the last match of the 2022 AFF Cup Group A preliminary match, Monday, January 2, 2023. The match will start at 19.30 WIB.
In this decisive match, the Garuda Squad must win in order to secure a ticket to the final. In addition, Indonesia is also chasing many goals in order to get the status of winners of Group A.
Indonesia looks at this meeting with optimism. The reason is, Shin Tae-yong's team has good capital by pocketing seven points from three matches.
The temporary points in the standings were obtained after winning over Cambodia and Brunei, then drawing against Thailand.
The Philippines as the host will undergo the match without high expectations because they have no chance of qualifying for the semifinals. Even though Indonesia has a great opportunity in this match, facing the Philippines is not a trivial matter. Witan Sulaeman and his friends must still appear high alert.
The reason is, even though the Garuda Squad is dominated by the Philippines, in fact Shin Tae-yong's team has never won in the last three matches in the AFF Cup.
In the 2014 AFF Cup, the Indonesian national team was massacred 0-4 by the Philippines, which became the only Red and White defeat from 24 meetings. Meanwhile, in the last two encounters, Indonesia always won a draw, 2-2 each in the 2016 AFF Cup and 0-0 in the 2018 AFF Cup.
