JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team reaped quite impressive results in the two third round matches of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Successfully holding back the draw between Saudi Arabia and Australia, Jordi Amat as part of the Garuda Squad reminded his team not to be complacent.

The Indonesian national team is currently ranked fourth in Group C with two points. This result was obtained after Shin Tae-yong's team was able to hold back the draw of two giant teams, namely Saudi Arabia with a score of 1-1 in the inaugural matches Friday, September 6 and Australia 0-0 on Tuesday, September 10.

Although it only drew a draw, this record is a brilliant achievement for the Indonesian national team. The reason is that if you reflect on the ranks of FIFA rankings, the distance between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia and Australia is the difference in ranking to hundreds.

Jordi Amat responded to this situation, although he did not appear in the two matches due to injury, the Indonesian national team defender praised the performance of his colleagues. Jordi also mentioned that the two points that had been obtained were very valuable.

Poin melawan Australia dan Arab Saudi merupakan poin yang sangat penting bagi kita. Apalagi mereka adalah dua tim favorit yang berada di grup, ujar Jordi Amat dilansir dari situs resmi PSSI, Minggu 15 September.

Furthermore, Jordi Amat also hopes that all players will continue to maintain focus and concentration in order to achieve a common target at the end of the standings. The reason is that if you look at the agenda, there are still eight more matches that make the squad not complacent with the results at the beginning.

"There are still many challenges ahead. But I believe in our abilities, the ability of this team. So with the results of the previous two matches, I congratulate the players and supporters," he explained.

"The next two matches are very, very important, we will have away matches and we need other extraordinary performances. Of course we will fight until the last second," he continued.

After fighting Saudi Arabia and Australia, the Indonesian national team will continue their struggle by traveling to Bahrain and China in mid-October.
