The Indonesian national team played anticlimactic in the first half. Even though they played aggressively, the attacks built by Runtuboy et al. still very easy to read by opponents.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia often threatens counterattack schemes which have proven effective. The hosts managed to open the scoring in the 15th minute.
Only a minute later, the counterattack again became a scourge for Indonesia. Saudi Arabia also succeeded in doubling its lead to 2-0.
Two minutes later, Saudi Arabia broke into Ahmad Habibie’s goal again, this time through a set piece scheme. The Indonesian national team was behind 0-3 until the first half ended.
