The Indonesian national team had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Singapore in the semifinals of the first leg of the 2020 AFF Cup at the National Stadium, Singapore, Wednesday (12/22/2021). There are some interesting facts from this series.
In that match, the Indonesian national team goal was created by Witan Sulaeman in the 28th minute. The wonderful collaboration between Witan and Asnawi Mangkualam opened the scoring in the match.
The Garuda squad - the nickname of the Indonesian national team - controlled the match in the first round. However, in the second half the Red and White team was heavily pressured by Singapore to produce goals.
Ikhsan Fandi made the score 1-1 in the 70th minute after receiving Faris Ramli's breakthrough pass. Ikhsan's kick could not be dammed by Nadeo Argawinata.
Here are some interesting facts about the Indonesian national team after being held to a draw by Singapore:
1. Shin Tae-yong's formation doesn't work against Singapore
The surprise formation that was again shown by Shin Tae-yong was practically unfruitful against Singapore. Elkan Baggott, who was not played from the start, became a weak point for the Indonesian national team.
