JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team had to admit New Zealand's superiority in the second match of the U-20 International Friendly Match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, Sunday, 19 February. The Garuda Nusantara squad surrendered with a score of 1-2.
Two of New Zealand's goals were scored by Oliver Colloty and Jay Joshua Herdman. While the host's goal was scored by Muhammad Ferrari.
In this fight, Indonesia actually did not play badly. However, the problem of final settlement is again a chore for Shin Tae-yong.
In that match, Garuda Nusantara actually gave several dangerous threats to New Zealand's goal. However, opportunity after opportunity for Rabbani Tasnim and Frengky Missa always failed to produce goals.
This finishing touch problem was also recognized by the coach. In fact, according to him, the problem was already visible since practice.
"So every day in training there are also problems in finishing. So for that, the players and I will definitely try to fix it, so apart from the word effort, yes there is no solution," said Shin, as reported by Antara, Monday, February 20.
Apart from the problem of final settlement, another thing Shin still lacks from his team is the error in giving bait. According to him, the U-20 national team players are still too easy to lose the ball due to bad passes.
With this defeat, Indonesia is now in second place by collecting one win and one defeat in the U-20 International Friendly Match. Previously, Robby Darwis and friends won 4-0 over Fiji.
In the final match, Garuda Nusantara will face Guetamala. This match will take place on Tuesday, February 21, at SUGBK.
The Indonesian national team will take part in the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan which will be held in early March. After that, Cahya Supriadi and friends will compete in the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia in May.
