JAKARTA - Indonesian national team player Ragnar Oratmangoen said the Garuda team should have won against Tanzania in a training match at the Madya Stadium, Jakarta, Sunday, June 2, 2024.

In the match that ended in a goalless draw, Shin Tae-yong's team continued to dominate and create a number of golden opportunities for 90 minutes of normal time.

"I think we should have won (against Tanzania), but in the end the result was a draw," Ragnar Oratmangoen told reporters after the match.

The Fortuna Sittard player admitted that he had prepared ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualification match against Iraq which took place at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, Thursday (6/6).

"I think we are ready like today we played good football we just need to create more chances, and of course we have to finish that opportunity well," said the player who was nicknamed Wak Haji by the Indonesian fans.

The 26-year-old player throughout the match against Tanzania was always shouted at by supporters as the Hajj Wak. Regarding this, the NEC Nijmegen dropout was very fond and was a good nickname according to him.

"I like it, I think it's a good nickname I also like support," said Ragnar Oratmangoen, as quoted by Antara.

Indonesia, which is now second in Group F of the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification, requires at least three points from two matches to seal one ticket to the next round. In addition to going to Iraq, Rizki Ridho and his friends will host the Philippines on 11 June.
