JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team won over Vietnam in the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in the Asian Zone.

The three points at home became a qualified capital for Shin Tae-yong to gather a team to look cooler in the next away match.

Playing at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, on Thursday, March 21, 2024, WIB night, the Indonesian national team won 1-0 over Vietnam. The single goal was contributed by Egy Maulana Vikri in the 52nd minute.

These results became valuable capital for the Garuda Squad, which on March 26, 2024, received an away turn to Vietnam headquarters, May Dinh Stadium.

Shin Tae-yong is clearly happy and doesn't forget to appreciate the team's performance today.

"First, I am very happy because we can win against Vietnam. Moreover, I am also very proud of the players," said Shin Tae-yong in a press conference after the match at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta.

Had met a deadlock in the first half for failing to outperform The Golden Star, Shin Tae-yong did not deny the difficulty.

However, when the second half was not long ago, the efforts of the Indonesian national team bore fruit. This was a relief for the coach.

"They've worked hard. The situation was difficult, but we managed to overcome it. I also thank Vietnam for coming far and presenting exciting games and working hard (during the match)," said the coach.

In this match, the initial appearance of the Garuda Squad was not promising. The game looks uncooperative.

This is not without reason. You see, the Red-White Team does contain many naturalized players who have just joined and a short preparation time.

Even so, this is not a significant problem for Shin Tae-yong. The coach will have longer preparation time ahead of the second match in Vietnam.

The regulation made Shin Tae-yong promise to promise a better game at My Dinh Stadium.

"I will prepare the next match (at My Dinh Stadium) so that it can be a cooler match between the Indonesian national team vs Vietnam," he said.
