The course of the match
Saudi Arabia started the kick-off. They got their first chance with a free kick when the game was barely two minutes.

The U19 national team responded with a quick counter-attack in the third minute through Pratama Arhan’s stab from the right, but the Saudi Arabia rearguard managed to keep out.
In the seventh minute, there is a chance when Braif Fatari stands free in the opponent’s penalty box with the ball at his feet.
However, this opportunity failed to endanger the goal of Saudi Arabia because Braif’s first touch was not perfect, so the ball fell off his feet.
Entering the 10th minute, the Indonesian U19 national team has an open opportunity to open up excellence.

Brylian Aldama got a ball from Saudi Arabia in front of the penalty box. With perfect preparation, Brylian immediately recovers the ball with his right foot.
Unfortunately, the opportunity was wasted free because the ball from Brylian’s kick was still hovering over the goal of Saudi Arabia guarded by Raed Hussain Ozaybi.
Entering the first 15 minutes, the Indonesian U19 national team actually performed quite well, but they too often lost possession when they were holding the ball.
This was exploited by Saudi Arabia, which often threatened the defense of the Indonesian U19 national team through diagonal passes.
In addition, in the defense of the Indonesian U19 national team, miscoordination often occurs.
There are moments when the ball that should be controlled by the goalkeeper is taken by the defender.
Disaster occurred for the Indonesian U19 national team in the 20th minute. Garuda Muda troops were penalized for a handball violation in the forbidden box.
Luckily, Mohammed Khalil Marran’s 12-pass kick hit the goal.

Saudi Arabia scored another penalty in the 33rd minute. This time, the one who broke into the Indonesian U19 national team goal was Mohammed Khalil Marran.
The penalty came after Brylian Aldama violated one of the Saudi Arabian players in box 16.
Indonesia’s U19 national team defense really performed below standard. They are easy to penetrate.
