—
The Indonesian national team was eliminated from the 2025 SEA Games and Vietnamese media said the Garuda squad was not fast and sharp enough.
Vietnamese media, Bongda, assessed that the Indonesian national team players had played with a heavy burden from the start.The obligation to win 3-0 over Myanmar actually prevented the Indonesian players from appearing free and relaxed.
“Even though they are dominant in possession of the ball, the Indonesian U-22 National Team lacks the speed and sharpness needed to suppress the opponent’s thick defense,” wrote

After the score was 1-1, Bongda assessed that the Indonesian national team players actually performed better through the spirit of ‘win big or lose’.
“They created pressure on Myanmar’s goal. However, it seems like luck was not on their side because two opportunities through Kakang Rudianto’s shots and a defender’s error were thwarted by the crossbar,” wrote Bongda.
Indonesia only jerked in the final minutes.Jens Raven scored two goals in the 88th minute and the fourth minute of second half injury time.
However, a 3-1 win was not enough for Indonesia to qualify for the semifinals.The Indonesian national team is still less productive than Malaysia in the race for best runner up (3-2 to 4-3).
This failure was clearly a blow considering that Indonesia came to the 2025 SEA Games with the status of defending champion plus a class of players who were classified as classy.
