JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team continued their struggle in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup after the controversial defeat to Qatar U-23 on April 15, 2024. Shin Tae-yong's team had to rise in the second match against Australia U-23.
The U-23 Indonesian national team currently occupies the bottom of Group A after losing to Qatar 0-2.
Not only did they fail to get full points in the inaugural match, but the appearance of Garuda Muda at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium also resulted in great losses.
Referee Nasrullo Kabirov who led the match looked one-sided. In addition to awarding a controversial penalty for Qatar, the Tajikistan justice also rewarded a red card for Ivar Jenner and Ramadhan Sananta.

The red card also reaped debate because the violations committed by both of them did not deserve the punishment.
The absence of Ivar and Sananta in the match against Australia on Thursday, April 18, 2024, clearly made Shin Tae-yong have to rack his brain harder.
The coach must be careful in choosing an ideal substitute, especially for the vital position left by Ivar Jenner.
The defeat to Qatar in the inaugural match must be forgotten by the U-23 Indonesian national team. They must rise and reap perfect points when they meet Australia in order to open up hope of qualifying for the knockout phase.
The reason is, if they fail to win against Australia, Garuda Muda's chances of going to the knockout stages will be thinner.
Shin Tae-yong has three days to prepare for Australia after the inaugural Group A match. Optimism arose because the chance to beat Australia was quite open.
Australia only packed one point when they met Jordan in the first match of Group A. They played a goalless draw.
