JAKARTA - Indonesian national team captain Asnawi Mangkualam regretted the results of the match against Palestine. He said the result did not match his wish.

The Indonesian national team only drew 0-0 against Palestine at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, Wednesday, June 14. Even though in the FIFA Matchday match, the home team appeared with a number of opportunities.

"Of course tonight's match didn't match what we wanted. Because at the start of the match, we targeted three points," Asnawi told a news conference.

However, Asnawi and his teammates are still grateful for what has been achieved in the match. The reason is, the Garuda Squad did not lose.

"We are still grateful, because we did not lose and we will improve again in the next match," he said, as quoted by Antara.

Previously, the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong also expressed the same disappointment. He said his team should have scored in that match.

"The knife is good and should be able to score one to two goals today but it's a shame it can't," said Shin.

Even so, the South Korean coach praised the performance of the growing Garuda Nusantara troops. "In terms of the players' performance is very good tonight, our journey can be far away and will continue to grow in the future," he said.
