JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-22 national team must be in high motivation to avenge the defeat against Lebanon in the trial preparations for the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia. Indonesia and Lebanon will play a match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Sunday, April 16 evening WIB. Kick off or kick off starting at 20.30 WIB. The two teams before this met on Friday, April 14 at the same place. At that time, Indra Sjafri's team had to lose 1-2 after winning first. Garuda's troops took the lead through an own goal from Ali Al Rida in the 83rd minute. However, Mohamed Mahdi Sabbah and Mohammed Naser's goals at the end of the match turned things around. After the match, Indra said that his team's game was not bad at all. However, the lack of concentration at the end of the match had to be paid dearly. ” Focus and mental problems in the final minute are like lack of concentration. There is a momentum opportunity that cannot be a goal. So, we will evaluate so that the second game can be better,” he said. The defeat certainly did not want to be felt again by Garuda. Moreover, this trial match is a series of preparations as well as a simulation of the 2023 SEA Games group phase in Cambodia. Indra Sjafri used this trial to streamline the final squad to be brought to the event. According to the rules, there are only 20 names registered for the biennial multi-event. "Of course we will use this trial as much as possible to determine the 20 players we will bring to the SEA Games and finalize our game plan," said Indra.
