The ball fell at Irfan Jauhari’s feet. He immediately took off his kick to thrill the Saudi Arabia goal. Score 3-1 for superiority Saudi Arabia closed the first half of the match.
In the 52nd minute, Indonesia managed to score its second goal in this match. The combination of two substitutes for Bagas Kaffa and Saddam Gaffar presents a nightmare for the Saudi Arabian defense line.
Bagas’ measured pass from the right side was well completed by Saddam, who was not guarded in front of goal. Indonesia is now only one goal behind after the score changed 3-2.
