JAKARTA - The Indonesian National Team beat Hong Kong with a score of 5-1 in the Group F match of the U-20 Asian Cup qualifying round at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in Surabaya, Friday night.

Reporting from Antara, Indonesia's goals were scored by Rabbani Tasnim in the 10th minute, Nico Saputro in the 21st minute, Zanadin Arif in the 43rd minute and two goals by Marselino Ferdinand in the 86th minute and 90th. Chen Ngo Hin scored one Hong Kong entertainment goal in the 63rd minute.

In the first five minutes, the hosts continued to pound and create a number of opportunities in the Hong Kong defense. But the lack of calmness of Indonesia's front row makes opportunities wasted.

In the 10th minute, Indonesia opened the scoring through a dead ball scheme. Zanadin Fariz's free kick bait was put to good use by Rabbani Tasnim. The Borneo FC player scored a goal through a header.

Winning one goal adds to the confidence of the Shin Tae-yong subsidiary. Almost 20 minutes Ahmad Rusadi and his friends appeared to dominate and play half the field.

The hosts increased their position in the 21st minute. This time Nico Saputro, who won the game against Hong Kong defender, succeeded in making goalkeeper Pong Cheuk Hei collect the ball from his yard again.

Nico, who is listed as a Persija player, played a one-two with Rabbani Tasnim before slotting the ball into the opponent's goal.

Indonesia, which is targeting a landslide victory over its guests, did not stop bombing the Hong Kong goal. Opportunities after opportunity are obtained, one of which is through the Rabbani Tasnim header in the 35th minute which almost increased the score. But the ball is still right towards the opponent's goalkeeper.

In the 40th minute, Indonesia again got a chance through a free kick. However, the Hong Kong defense is still broken again.

Three minutes later, the one-two pass between Zanadin Arif and Rabbani Tasnim successfully tricked the opponent's defenders. Before scoring, Zanadin tricked four opposing players and then found a way into Rabbani, and with one touch he returned to Zanadin for execution at the far post.

The 3-0 score lasted until 45 minutes the first half ended.

The second half was running, Garuda Nusantara's return kicked off. The duet of winger Arsa Ramadan Ahmad on the right and Rahmat Give Santoso on the left often sends cross baits that endanger Hong Kong's defenses.

The visitors are not without chances. Hong Kong's 51st minute has a chance through the corner kick scheme, but Indonesian goalkeeper Cahya Supriadi can still anticipate.

The 56th minute there was an incident on the field when Cahya Supriyadi collided with fellow Indonesian players. Due to the need for further medical treatment, the Persija goalkeeper was rushed to the hospital.

Prior to the incident, one of the Indonesian players touched the ball with his hands so that referee Rustam Lutfullin from Uzbekistan did not hesitate to point to the spot.

Hong Kong striker Chen Ngo Hin, who was the executor, managed to carry out his duties well even though he was blocked by Indonesian goalkeeper Aditya Arya Nugraha who replaced Cahya Supriyadi.

In the 86th minute, Indonesia added to its coffers of goals through Marselino Ferdinand who received a through ball from Robi Darwis. The two players just entered to replace Arsa Ramadan and Nico Saputra.

Three minutes later, Marselino returned to become an actor after being violated in the forbidden box. The player from Persebaya took his own execution and succeeded in expanding Indonesia to 5-1.

In six additional minutes of time, Indonesia continued to attack. It was recorded that twice Rabbani Tasnim threatened through headers, but none of them converted into goals.
