JAKARTA - The U-24 Indonesian national team will face North Korea in the last match of the 2023 Asian Games group stage. The Garuda Muda squad must win if they want to keep their hopes of qualifying for the next round.

The U-24 national team match against North Korea will be held at Zhejiang Normal University East Stadium, China, Sunday, September 24, tomorrow.

Indonesian player Roby Darwis said his team had now focused on facing this deciding party. The 0-1 defeat to Taiwan in the previous match has been evaluated.

"Of course, on a team basis, we have evaluated the previous match against Taiwan. The results are not optimal, we evaluate what our shortcomings are," said Roby Darwis.

"In this match against North Korea, of course, we have to be even more prepared, even stronger because it will determine whether or not we qualify for the round of 16," he added.

In addition, continued the Persib Bandung player, the coaching team has pocketed the opponent's strength. Now the players just need to follow coach Indra Sjafri's instructions to reduce North Korea's game.

"Of course the coach has anticipated the strength of North Korea. We have to play what it looks like, of course we will be much more prepared to face North Korea and hopefully the results can be satisfactory," said Roby Darwis.
