Indonesia says goodbye to Asian Cup 2023 after 0-4 defeat to Australia

Right from the first minutes of the match, the Australian team attacked and continuously created dangerous opportunities in front of goalkeeper Ernando Ari (Indonesia).

In the 12th minute, the Australian team opened the score 1-0 from a rather lucky situation. Starting from an attack on the right wing, midfielder Jackson Irvine tried to make a cross pass but the ball hit defender Elkan Baggott's foot and went straight into the net. This goal was considered an "own goal" by Elkan Baggott.

Having conceded an early goal, Indonesia tried to fight back and created a dangerous opportunity in the 17th minute, when Yakob Sayuri broke free to receive a long pass from his teammate. However, the midfielder's subsequent handling was not good and Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan grabbed the ball.

Indonesia then had a few more sharp attacks but their strikers Justin Hubner and Yakob Sayuri were unable to take advantage of the opportunities. In the 45th minute, Australia had a goal to increase the score to 2-0 thanks to Martin Boyle with a header into an empty net after a pass from Gethin Jones.

With Australia leading by 2 goals in the first half, everything seemed to be over for Indonesia. In the remaining time of the second half, they tried to attack to find an equalizer but failed. Not only that, they also conceded 2 more goals, after Goodwin's shots in the 89th minute and Souttar's shots in the 90+1st minute.

In the end, Australia beat Indonesia 4-0 to win the first ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Cup. Indonesia left the tournament after leaving many good impressions with impressive matches.
