"The goal was for the Indonesian people who have always been loyal to support us," said Yakob Sayuri after the match, as reported by Antara.

Apart from being a loyal supporter of the national team, the goals created are also dedicated to his family. Moreover, the national team match is close to Christmas where Yakob cannot gather with his family to celebrate.

"There must be communication with the family. We wish each other a Merry Christmas," said the PSM Makassar player.

Yakub Sayuri in the match against Brunei Darussalam came down in the second half. However, the Yapen Islands-born player was able to show his best abilities.

With its performance, the opportunity to become coach Shin Tae-yong's choice in the next match is open considering that there are still many matches that must be faced, including against Thailand at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, December 29, 2022.
