JAKARTA - Dafha goalkeeper Fasya Sumawijaya made many important saves, to help the U-20 Indonesian national team win 1-0 over Syria in the second match of Group A of the U-20 Asian Cup, Saturday.
The victory kept Garuda Muda's hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals maintained.
Daffa made at least three important saves throughout the match against Syria. That means from three shots into the net released by the Syrian players throughout the match, the Borneo FC goalkeeper was able to break everything.
"Alhamdulillah, we won today against Syria with a score of 0-1, we won. Today's very exciting match, a lot of buying and selling attacks, and I am very, very grateful for this match," said Daffa after the match played at the Lokomotiv stadium, Tashkent, Saturday, citing Antara.
Despite making important saves, Daffa did not consider it the fruit of his own success. But because of the cooperation of all parties.
"Actually, save must be from my focus too, listen to coach Kim (Bong Soo), coach Yoo (Jae Hoon) too. I am motivated to always focus. There are also many mistakes for me in this match, which I have to fix in the future," said the 18-year-old player.
Indonesia will next face a life-to-life match with host Uzbekistan at the Istiqlol Stadium, Fergana, on Tuesday (7/3). Victory over Uzbekistan has a great chance of passing Garuda Muda to the quarter-finals, while taking into account the results obtained by Iraq.
Despite keeping ambitions to win, Daffa chose not to boast and only hoped to show her best against Uzbekistan.
"Hopefully we will get the best results. Whatever the results, we will show the best for Indonesia. Anyway, we are here to fight together and we ask for support from all Indonesian people," he concluded.
