The Indonesian national soccer team (146th FIFA ranking), led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, lost 1-3 in the first Group D match of the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Alaiyan, Qatar, at 11:30 p.m. on the 15th (Korea time).
He allowed a run first. In the 17th minute of the first half, Justin Houbner, a defensive midfielder, blocked the ball, which was sent forward at a single stroke, with a tackle, but failed to properly deal with it. The ball was allowed to flow backward, and Mohanad Ali intercepted it and rushed to score the first goal. 토토사이트 순위
Indonesia has launched a counterattack. In the 37th minute of the first half, Jakob Sayuri stormed off the right side, beating even a defender. Then, he sent a low cross towards the opposite post. Marcelino Ferdinand pushed it in from the gate to balance the score.
Iraq is back in the lead. Osama Rishid hit a cross from the right side to his toe in the extra time of the first half, and Mohanad Ali, who was rushing, headed it back, but the goalkeeper was blocked. He was already offside in the process. With Rishid sending a pass to Ali, Ali’s position was already ahead of the ball.
There was no reversal even after VAR confirmation. Although the scene did not lead to a score, Iraq attacked again immediately afterwards, and Rashid eventually shook the net. The part where the score was not recognized even after VAR confirmation is bewildering for Indonesia. In the end, Iraq added one more goal in the second half and won 3-1.
Coach Shin Tae-yong vented his anger. “I don’t know why the second goal was not considered offside. It was 100 percent offside. It is regrettable if the referee’s decision is truly wrong. Especially since it happened at such an important moment,” he said, allaying regret.
The Indonesian squad was also furious. Pratama Arhan said strongly after the match, “We have officially complained to the AFC about the second goal.”
