JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team has a great opportunity to advance to the third round of the World Cup qualifiers as runners-up in Group F. Currently, Indonesia is in second place in the standings with 7 points from 5 matches. Although Vietnam successfully beat the Philippines 3-2, Thursday, June 6, they are still in third position.
To ensure the next step, Indonesia must win their last match against the Philippines, Tuesday 11 June. This victory will add points to 10 and ensure that Indonesia's position is not overtaken by Vietnam, which is currently in third place with 6 points.
In addition, fixing the goal difference is also important. With the current goal difference -2, Indonesia needs to score as many goals as possible to ensure their advantage if Vietnam also wins in its last game.
The calculation of the standings is determined through points, then a better goal difference, just a head-to-head meeting. Therefore, scoring as many goals as possible and keeping conceding it from becoming very crucial for the Indonesian national team.
