This is the disappointment of the public seeing the referee's leadership at the event of the U23 versus Guinea Indonesian national team match at Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, Thursday 9 May. In the match for tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics, the nobar participants looked annoyed, with a number of referees' decisions.

Especially when the referee awarded a penalty when Witan Sulaeman was deemed to have violated Guinean players in the 28th minute. Many have argued that after watching the replay, the violation was carried out outside the penalty box. Moriba's penalty was carried out and managed to break into Ernando Ari's goal. The penalty was also awarded by the referee to Guinea, after Dewangga was deemed to have violated Bah's Algasm in the 74th minute of the second half.

In fact, Dewangga's tackle looks towards the ball. Luckily, Ernando Ari managed to thwart the Bah Algasme penalty. The match without VAR also sparked Shin Tae-yong's protest because he felt that a number of violations had been committed by Guinean players, but did not receive a warning from the referee. The U23 Indonesian national team coach was then rewarded with a red card by the referee.

Young Garuda actually also had a number of opportunities to break into Guinea's goal, but did not succeed in equalizing. The 1-0 score for Guinea's victory led them to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even though they lost, it did not dampen the supporters of the U23 Indonesian national team to continue to provide their support. Watch the video below.
