"Of course, don't be complacent. The next day, we will fight Malaysia, which has a fairly even strength. The Indonesian team must prepare excellent conditions, focus, and don't let their guard down," said Leo.
Indonesia's journey against Singapore was opened by the men's singles, Alwi Farhan. The 2023 junior world champion was forced to give up three games against Loh Kean Yew, the world's 10th ranked badminton player today.
Two points from Indonesia after that were contributed by the men's doubles Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani and the men's singles Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah. Leo/Bagas then managed to get out of the pressure of the second game against Donovan/Jia to win.
"The second game, the opponent was more daring to open it, several times we attacked we didn't get points and instead got a counterattack. They got a lot of points from there," said Leo.
The match against Malaysia is a repeat of the final of the 2023 Cambodian SEA Games. At that time, Indonesia won and managed to bring home a gold medal.
Apart from the men's team, Indonesia also managed to put the women's team in the final round. Putri Kusuma Wardani and her friends qualified for the final stage after defeating Malaysia with a dramatic score of 3-2.
