Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
U-17 Indonesian National Team can’t just hope to occupy the top four positions in the best third place in the match against Morocco in 2023 U-17 World CupThursday (16/11).
The Indonesian U-17 national team is currently in third place with a collection of two points. Indonesia is one point behind Morocco in second place and two points behind Ecuador which is in first place.
In the final match, the U-17 Indonesian National Team will face Morocco at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya. The Indonesian U-17 national team cannot just go onto the field and try to secure third place in the final standings.

There are two strong reasons for the U-17 Indonesian National Team not being able to do this. First, the third position in Group A itself is not completely safe in the hands of the U-17 Indonesian National Team.
If you only think about holding Morocco to a draw, it could backfire. The reason is that if in another match Panama can beat Ecuador when Indonesia vs Morocco is a draw, the Indonesian U-17 National Team will automatically be relegated to the caretaker position.
Second, even if the Indonesian U-17 National Team can secure third place in Group A, this does not fully guarantee that the Indonesian U-17 National Team will qualify for the round of 16.
With two points in hand so far, maybe it could be three points if they draw against Morocco, the points record still has to compete closely with other teams.
Until Tuesday’s match (14/11), there had been no draw in the other groups. Especially in the last match, a number of teams that have lost can also face each other. This makes the position of the U-17 Indonesian National Team, which has two or three points, less favorable.
That’s why the U-17 Indonesian National Team must set a target of winning against Morocco in order to be able to determine their own destiny towards the round of 16.
