Currently, Indonesia is competing in the only possibility to qualify for the semifinals, namely through the best runner up route.There are three teams competing against each other from each group.
Apart from Indonesia, there are Malaysia and Myanmar.Indonesia and Myanmar have not completed the remaining matches.
The Red and White Team needs to finish in first place in the best runner up standings.The first condition is to win over Myanmar.
If the first condition is met, the second way is that Indonesia must be better in goal difference than Malaysia.Currently Harimau Malaya Muda has three points with a goal difference of +1.
Indonesia, whose goal difference is -1, must make it at least +2.This means that Indonesia needs to win 3-0 over Myanmar to pass Malaysia in terms of goal difference.
Can Indonesia surpass Malaysia if they win 2-0 against Myanmar?Because the goal difference is +1.Unfortunately, this situation is not positive for Indonesia because Malaysia is superior in goal productivity (4) compared to Indonesia (3) if they win 2-0.
A different story might happen if Indonesia wins by a two-goal margin over Myanmar while surpassing Malaysia’s goal productivity.Because if Indonesia and Malaysia have the same total goals, then what will determine is the discipline point of how many cards the player receives.
This complicated scenario could certainly be simpler if Indonesia won with as many scores as possible.Nothing is impossible if Garuda Muda tries.

Going all out is a principle that must be etched in your mind

and friends.There must be no more aimless passes and wasted opportunities.
The coach of the U-23 Indonesian National Team for the 2025 SEA Games, Indra Sjafri, must find a way to make the strategy work optimally.Luckily, no players were sidelined due to injury ahead of the match.
“All the players are fit,” said Indonesian National Team Manager, Sumardji to hitclubapk3Indonesia.com, Thursday (11/12).
This statement is also a signal that Indonesia can appear at full strength.Even in the training video, an optimistic aura radiates from the tone of Kadek Arel and his friends.
The final training session, Thursday (11/12) was held at the same time as the Vietnam vs Malaysia match, allowing the players to be more focused without thinking about the match the next day.
Imagine if Vietnam vs Malaysia ended in a draw and training was held after the match, the players’ concentration might be affected.
Vietnam’s victory over Malaysia opened up hope for Indonesia.The breeze of the semifinals was blowing again.It’s just a matter of how the Red and White team responds by trying to win.
Myanmar should not be a tough opponent for Indonesia.Reflecting on the previous match, the team coached by Hisashi Kurosaki was unable to compete against the Philippines which ended in a 0-2 defeat.
Myanmar’s main weakness in this match was defensive transition.They are slow in forming a tight back line while preventing opponents from finding space.

Conceding twice came from this scenario.The Philippines was able to correct the course of the match with an explosive game rich in technique.
This kind of pattern can be implemented by Indonesia with the character of players who have skilled individual techniques.Ivar Jenner, Dony Tri Pamungkas, and Rayhan Hannan need to play more dynamically in setting the tempo and opening attacks.
The overlap of central defenders, Muhammad Ferrari and Kadek Arel, could also open up opportunities.Both of them spread threats in the opponent’s defense zone when facing the Philippines even though no goals were scored.
All efficient and clever methods need to be used by the U-23 Indonesian National Team in order to win with as many goals as possible.
