JAKARTA - A goal and an assist from midfielder Ricky Kambuaya brought the Red and White team to beat The Rising Sun with a score of 3-0 in the FIFA international friendly match, Indonesia vs Timor Leste, at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, Bali, Sunday 30 January evening WITA. In addition to scoring goals, Ricky sent a goal for Terens Puhiri's goal. Another goal in the match was scored by Ramai Rumakiek. In that match, the Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong immediately fielded two 17-year-old players namely Marselino Ferdinand and Ronaldo Kwateh from the first minute. Shin also did not put a pure center forward in the team. On the front lines, the South Korean tactician placed Ronaldo, Ramai Rumakiek and Terens Puhiri. With such a line-up, Indonesia suppressed the Timor Leste defense from the start. Indonesia also scored the first goal in the fifth minute through Terens Puhiri. Terens finished well with Ricky Kambuaya's breakthrough pass. Continuing to attack, the "Garuda" squad scored the second goal in the 41st minute. Ramai Rumakiek fired a hard kick from outside the penalty box which was not able to be anticipated by Timor Leste goalkeeper Junildo Manuel. The score of 2-0 closed the first half of the match. After the break, things did not change. Although occasionally controlling the ball, Timor Leste could not escape the pressure of Indonesia. However, it was only in the 72nd minute that Indonesia was able to score a third goal. This time, it was Ricky Kambuaya who listed his name on the scoreboard after completing his individual acceleration into the Timor Leste forbidden box. Indonesia could have added seven minutes later if Marselino Ferdinand's shot had not been pushed over by the opposing goalkeeper. No goals were present until the game was over. Indonesia won with a score of 3-0. These results made Indonesia record two wins from two FIFA international friendly matches against Timor Leste in Bali. Previously, Thursday (27/1), Indonesia vs Timor Leste ended with a score of 4-1.
