JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team managed to get three points in the inaugural match of the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification against the U-20 Maldives.

Indra Sjafri's troops won convincingly four goals without reply at the Madya Stadium, Senayan, Wednesday, September 25, 2024.

However, the victory still leaves flaws. The Indonesian U-20 captain, Dony Tri Pamungkas, is still not satisfied with the appearance of himself and his colleagues.

"Alhamdulillah, I am very happy and grateful to be able to win and get three points. However, this result motivated me to be even better in the next match," said Dony after the match.

One of the things that made Dony dissatisfied was their failure to score in the first half.

Despite dominating possession and creating many opportunities, the final solution is a problem for Young Garuda.

Therefore, Indra Sjafri made a number of changes so that finally the deadlock broke and gave birth to four goals in the second half.

"The first half was goalless. In fact, we have tried our best, but to no avail."

"The coach then changed the formation and thank God we were able to score goals and win matches," said Dony.

Four goals from Indonesia U-20 were created in the second half. Aditya Warman opened the scoring in the 52nd minute.

In just 15 minutes later, Garuda Muda scored three goals through Figo Dennis (55'), Toni Fermansyah (57'), and Jens Raven (66').

Indonesia U-20 will next meet Timor Leste U-20 in the second match of Group F of the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification on 27 September 2024.
