JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team was beaten by Vietnam four goals without reply. On the seventh matchday of the 2022 World Cup Qualification Group G which was held at the Al Maktoum Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Monday, June 7 local time, the Garuda squad did not move.

Indonesia, who played with a 4-4-2 formation, had difficulty building attacks from the early minutes. Vietnam dominated the match by controlling 70 percent of the ball.

The Garuda squad only occasionally steals opportunities to shoot into the opponent's penalty box. However, no dangerous conditions were created because Vietnam appeared tough at the back. In addition, Indonesia also often makes pass errors.

There were no goals in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam scored four goals through Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Cong Phuong, and Vu Van Thanh.

After the match, netizens expressed their disappointment with the failure of the Garuda squad through social media Twitter. They looked annoyed and excited at the bad game of Evan Dimas et al.

One of them wrote: "Whether it's Shin Tae Yong, Madrid coach, Man. Utd coach, Chelsea coach, even the world's coach will not be able to train the national team players who just pass carelessly. The one who decides is the player, if the player just passes it carelessly, well, just disband the national team, haha mad."

Then there were those who commented: "Hahahahaha the Indonesian national team has really not made any progress at all".

While the third netizen wrote: "4 - 0 against Vietnam. Shame? If you compare the size of the country, it's embarrassing, but when you look at the game, it's very natural to be hit with a big score. No matter how good a coach is, it's difficult if the quality of the players is the same."

And another said: "@TimnasIndonesia if you can lose, why should you win? Tangio mak, iki dudu dolan adoh tarkaman."

With these results, Indonesia remains the caretaker of the Asian Zone 2022 World Cup Qualification Group G with a collection of one point from seven matches. Meanwhile, Vietnam is firmly at the top of the standings with 14 points from six matches.

The Indonesian national team still has one match left in Group G, which is against the United Arab Emirates on Friday, 11 June.
