The second half began with Indonesia U-23 with a change of players.Rahmat Arjuna, who suffered an injury at the end of the first half, was replaced by Wigi Pratama.
As soon as referee Warintorn Sassadee from Thailand blew the whistle to signal the start of the second half, Indonesia U-23 immediately became aggressive and pressed.However, Mali’s defensive walls are still strong.
In the 55th minute Indonesia U-23 received a free kick after Jenner was fouled.Doni Tri became the executor.Unfortunately, the Persija player’s shot went over the bar.
When the Garuda squad knocked on Mali’s defense, the opponent responded with a blow which was also quite dangerous.
Entering the 73rd minute, Sekou Kone fired.The ball kicked by the Manchester United player was still pushed over by Cahya Supriadi.
The Indonesian U-23 national team was able to control the ball more freely, because Mali’s pressing was not as tight as in the first half.
However, the problem of scoring goals still cannot be solved.The opponent’s penalty box can be penetrated, but not so with Mali’s goal.
In injury time, Mali scored an additional goal.The Indonesian back line’s mistake in blocking the attack was exploited by Maoulaye Haidara.
