Garuda's squad must recognize Vietnam's victory in the 2019 SEA Games Group B match. However, Vietnam's victory does not mean they are much better than the Indonesian national team.

Because if you see the minutes per minute of the results of the match, Indonesia also proved capable of serving the opposing team's game. In fact, Indonesia was able to put more pressure in the first half, until it first hit the ball into the Vietnam goal net.

It's just that, in the second half, the Indonesian Team's defense weakened. Unfortunately, this was also followed by a decrease in the attacking power of the attackers on the front lines.

As a result the Vietnamese players were able to equalize in the 64th minute through a header from Nguyen Thanh Chung who made use of a corner kick. Vietnam's second second goal occurred in injury time.

Likewise, even though Indonesia is currently defeated by Vietnam, Indonesia's National Team Coach, Indra Syafri, claims Indonesia has not yet come to an end. There is still hope to meet them in the semi-finals. The way Indonesia has to win two more matches against Brunei Darussalam and Laos.

Hopefully Garuda Muda is able to do as the trainer said.

Skuat Garuda harus mengakui kemenangan Vietnam dalam laga lanjutan Grup B SEA Games 2019. Namun kemenangan Vietnam bukan bearti mereka jauh lebih baik dari Timnas Indonesia.

Karena kalau melihat menit per menti dari hasil pertandingan tersebut, Indonesia juga terbukti mampu melayani permainan tim lawan. Bahkan Indonesia mampu memebri tekanan lebih pada babak pertama, hingga lebih dulu melesakkan bola ke jaring gawang Vietnam.

Hanya saja, pada babak kedua, pertahanan Tim Indonesia melemah. Nahas, hal ini diikuti pula oleh menurunnya daya gedor para penyerang di lini depan.

Akibatnya para pemain Vietnam mampu menyamai kedudukan pada menit ke 64 melalui sundulan Nguyen Thanh Chung yang memanfaatkan bola tendangan pojok. Gol kedua Vietnam kedua terjadi di masa injury time.

Begitupun, meski saat ini Indonesia dikalahkan Vietnam, namun Pelatih Timnas Indonesia, Indra Syafri mengaku Indonesia belum kiamat. Masih ada harapan untuk bertemu mereka di semi final. Caranya Indoensia harsu menang pada dua kali pertandingan lagi menghadapi Brunei Darussalam dan Laos.

Semoga saja Garuda Muda mampu melakukan seperti yang disampaikan sang pelatih.
