JAKARTA - The opportunity for the U-22 national team to qualify for the semifinals of the 2023 SEA Games is in sight. As the leader of Group A, Indra Sjafri's squad still has to face Timor Leste in the third match for the ticket to qualify.

The agenda against Timor Leste will take place at the National Olympic Stadium, Phnom Penh, Cambodia on Sunday, May 7 afternoon WIB. Ahead of the match, the Garuda Nusantara squad had qualified capital.

From the two matches that have been undertaken, the U-22 national team was able to win when they met the Philippines and Myanmar. These results make the Indra Sjafri team now have six points and become the top of the Group A standings.

The previous meeting with the Philippines and Myanmar was also a slick moment, because from the two matches Marselino Ferdinand et al had scored eight goals without a single record of conceding. This situation clearly makes the mentality of competing in the Indonesian U-22 national team even more flared up.

On the opposing side, the match against the U-22 national team turned out to be a life and death match for Timor Leste. Because this is the last match in the Group A phase which must be closed with good results.

So far, Timor Leste has played three games with three points when they won against the Philippines. Meanwhile, against Cambodia and Myanmar, Timor Leste lost.

Even though they have only won once, Timor Leste's hopes of qualifying for the semifinals of the 2023 SEA Games are still open if they can win against the Indonesian U-22 national team. But that opportunity will also be determined by the results in other team matches.
