“If you look at the results, we lost. But the players played actively and well the whole game. Now against European opponents, the team’s confidence has increased. But we are also a bit too. uncomfortable because the referee is somewhat on the side of the opponent,” CNN Indonesia quoted coach Shin.
In the match against Slovakia U20, Indonesia opened the scoring after Rafael William Struick’s shot. The European team tried to deploy attack from the wings but it was not until the last minutes of the game that they scored.
In the 81st minute, Dzaki Asraf fouled Viktor Slacky in the penalty area and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Timotej Jambor made a good shot to equalize the score at 1-1. In the 83rd minute, Slovakia led 2-1 when Damian Kachut’s shot hit Justin Hubner and went into the net.
In the last minutes of the game, Indonesia U20 was still lost when defender Hubner received a red card after a scuffle. Slovakia created many chances in stoppage time but did not add any more goals. Slovakia coach Albert Rusnak said after the game ended: “We controlled the game with our heads, which is important because what happened on the pitch was crazy. I’m glad the players were focused, performed well from the first minute.”
CNN Indonesia reported that referee Roca Robles showed many yellow cards when players from both teams had more than necessary touches on the ball. The black king also had to give Hubner a red card at the end of the game. However, this referee was somewhat light-hearted when he only showed a yellow card to Balint Csoka after hitting Dzaky Asraf in the face in the first half.
After two friendlies in Spain, U20 Indonesia lost both. Before that, Shin Tae-yong’s teachers and students lost to France U20 0-6.
