Indonesia wins 2-0, but falls short of qualifying
Rizal Harahap
THE JAKARTA POST/PEKANBARU
Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to
qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of
Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.
The two goals for the home side, which welcomed Coach Aji Santoso back the sidelines from a
four matches suspension, both came in the second half from Agung Supriyanto.
He scored his first goal from the penalty box before finding his second several minutes later. He
beat a defender with a swift maneuver from the right flank and had the goalkeeper gasping as his
thunderous goal blasted into the far post.
The young Indonesians collected 9 points, or just one point behind runner-up Australia, out of a
six strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect collection 20-2 goal
margin.
Singapore came in fourth with 7 points followed by Timor Leste with 3 points and Macau with
no points.
In earlier matches in the day, favorite Japan continued their dominant form with a 5-0 drubbing
of another tournament favorite Australia, while Timor Leste chalked up their first victory, a 4-1
over last-placed Macau.
