STANDING while the best runner-up 2023 Asian Cup Qualification in the first matchday will be discussed in this article. Just so you know, the third round 2023 Asian Cup Qualification followed by 24 teams.
A total of 24 teams were divided into six groups, where each group contained four teams. Later, only 11 teams will qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup. A total of 11 teams will be obtained from the six group winners and the five best runners-up.
Since there are only five best runners-up, it means that there is one runner-up for the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification who failed to qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup. At this time or until the first matchday, the Indonesian national team was included in the five best runners-up.
A 2-1 victory over Kuwait made the Indonesian national team sit in second place in the Group A standings for the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification with a collection of three points. The Indonesian national team lost on goal difference to the leaders of Group A, Jordan, who in another match won 2-0 over Nepal.
According to calculations, the Indonesian national team currently occupies the third position of the six runners-up. If this condition persists until the end, Group B runners-up, Philippines, will fail to qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup, considering being the only runner-up who failed to win on the first matchday.
Even so, finishing runner-up is not the target of the Indonesian national team. Coach Shin Tae-yong targets the Indonesian national team to qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup as group winners.
“Shouldn’t we be first in the (qualification) group? If we are ranked first, we can return to Indonesia with a happy smile,” said Shin Tae-yong to the Indonesian national team players, upon arrival in Kuwait on Saturday, June 4, 2022 in the morning WIB.
Furthermore, Indonesian National team will face Jordan on Sunday, June 12, 2022 early in the morning WIB. If they win again, one leg of the Indonesian national team has arrived in the 2023 Asian Cup finals.
If they qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup, this will be the first for the Indonesian national team in the last 16 years. The Indonesian national team last appeared in the Asian Cup in 2007.
