The Indonesian team lost to Argentina

Argentina dominated the host team Indonesia throughout the 90 minutes. The reigning world champions, despite not using Messi or Di Maria, still easily found their way into Ari's goal thanks to the class of their stars.

Argentina's dominance was reflected in the statistics. They had 74% of the ball possession and made 755 passes, 3 times more than Indonesia. Argentina also had 21 shots compared to the home team's 5.

Right after the opening whistle, the Argentina team took control of the midfield area. Coach Shin Tae Yong asked his players to put pressure but Argentina's superior physical strength and technique did not allow Indonesia to carry out their intention.

The Argentina team clearly showed the difference in class with Indonesia.

Argentina opened the scoring in the 38th minute. Paredes fired a 35-meter shot that Ari could not block even though he was flying high. Before the end of the first half, Julian Alvarez had a chance to double the lead. However, the Man City striker's shot from a tight angle was not dangerous enough.

In the second half, Argentina scored an early second goal in the 55th minute. Romero headed the ball past goalkeeper Ari. With a 2-goal advantage, Argentina slowed down the match. At the same time, coach Scaloni brought many young players onto the field.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian team created a rare bright spot with a close-range shot from Ivar Jenner. However, the shot was not strong enough to defeat goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The match ended with a score of 2-0 for the away team.

Indonesia: Nando, Asnawi, Elkan, Jordi, Ridho, Ivar, Klok, Marselino, Pattynama, Drajad, Rafael.
