JAKARTA - Friendsly Match between Indonesia and Argentina at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK), Jakarta, Monday 19 June, ended in victory for the Tango Team. Twice the Argentine team broke into the national team's defense in the first half of the 38th minute and the second half in the 55th minute.

However, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni praised the national team's game, including the support of Indonesian supporters.

"It was not easy for us when we competed against the national team, so continue the good game, at the same time I also want to appreciate the support of Indonesian supporters," added Scaloni.

This statement was made by Lionel Scaloni in a press conference after Indonesia's match against Argentina. Not only praising the national team, but Lionel also appreciated the solid playing of his foster children even though they had problems with weather factors in Asia.

The same thing was conveyed by the national team coach, Shin Tae-yong to the performance of the national team.

"The game and mentality of the national team are no less distant than the Argentine team, for that I thank the players for their hard work," said Shin Tae-yong.

STY explained in detail, even though he conceded two goals, the national team's defense was very good and was able to withstand the Tango team's attack so that there were not many opportunities for attacks created by the opposing team.

In this Friendsly Match, STY also deployed a number of young players between 18-23 years old to have the opportunity to try out their abilities in fighting the world's number one team.

Coach STY hopes that through a Friendsly Match experience like this, the national team can learn a lot from Argentina's game and in the future can motivate players to improve the quality of the game even better.
