“Shin Tae-yong Magic” was again powerful. After participating in the first-ever tournament, he made his first quarterfinal appearance.
The Indonesian Olympic soccer team, led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, defeated Jordan 4-1 in the third Group A match of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Asian Cup at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 22nd (Korea time).
Indonesia, which is participating in the U-23 Asian Cup for the first time, advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Australia and Jordan in succession. This is because Indonesia is the second place (2 wins, 1 loss, 6 points) after Qatar (2 wins, 1 draw, 7 points), which is the group leader who tied 0-0 with Australia on the day.
Indonesia will face the No. 1 team in Group B. Korea (two wins) will have its third match against Japan (two wins) at 10 p.m. on Tuesday to take the lead in Group B, and if Korea becomes No. 1 in the group, it will face Indonesia in the quarterfinals.
Indonesia took the lead with Marcelino Ferdinand’s penalty kick in the 23rd minute of the first half, and Witan Sulayemann’s additional goal in the 40th minute of the first half took the lead. In the 25th minute of the second half, Ferdinand, the main character of the first goal, shook the net again and predicted victory.
Indonesia gave up an own goal in the 34th minute of the second half when its opponent’s shot was deflected off the defender, but Coman Tegu’s wedge goal in the 41st minute of the second half ended a great victory.
Shin is also the head coach of the Indonesian A team. At the Asian Cup held in January, he led Indonesia to the round of 16 tournaments for the first time in history. This time, he is creating a sensation by coaching players under the age of 23. 먹튀검증
