Laos' crazy performance against Indonesia

The unimaginable scenario happened at Bung Karno Stadium on the evening of December 12. In less than 20 minutes, fans witnessed 4 goals, divided equally between each team.

In the 9th minute, Indonesia suddenly lost the ball in the middle of the field. Buonkong observed and then made an accurate pass for Panyavong to escape. Number 19 fired a shot that hit a home team defender, changed direction and went into the net.

Just 2 minutes later, Laos let Indonesia equalize. After a messy play in the penalty area, Arel decisively shot into the top corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance to block.

In the 14th minute, Laos launched a counter-attack. Captain Buonkong calmly handled the ball and passed it to the right for Phommathep to run up and finish. Arel, the player who scored the equalizer for the home team, was the one who made a mistake in the tackle, causing the ball to change direction and go into the net.

In the 18th minute, the Bung Karno stadium exploded with emotion when the home team equalized 2-2. Goalkeeper Keo Souvannasangsgo misjudged the landing point of Arhan's strong throw-in. The ball went beyond Souvannasangsgo's reach, hit the head of Indonesia's Ferarri center back, and went into the net.

After consecutive goals, both Indonesia and Laos slowed down. Indonesia had a few more chances but could not beat Souvannasangsgo. The home team was also unlucky when the goal was denied by the goal post after Arel's header in the 45+9 minute.

On the other hand, the away team also had a good chance. In the 45th minute, Bounkong dribbled skillfully and then shot with technique. Goalkeeper Fasya was helpless but the ball unfortunately went over the bar.

The surprise happened in the 68th minute. In a moment of losing his cool, Marselino committed a rough foul, forgetting that he had already received a yellow card. The referee decisively showed the second card to expel the home team's star player. With this penalty, Marselino will be suspended for the match against Vietnam.

Despite being short-handed, Indonesia still scored their third goal from a set piece. In the 72nd minute, it was Ferrari again with a clever positioning and header, giving the away team's goalkeeper no chance to block.

The home fans' joy only lasted for 5 minutes. Peter Phanthavong silenced the Bung Karno stadium with the equalizer to make it 3-3. The substitute finished accurately from close range after a teammate's assist from the sideline.

In the final minutes, Ronaldo Kwateh entered the field but could not help the home team make a difference. Indonesia was helpless against the Lao defense and had to accept their first draw in 12 years.
