Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
The temporary score for the Bahrain vs Indonesia match is 1-2 and the match has now entered the 80th minute and in fact, I personally did not expect to see Indonesia play as well as it is now. I hope Indonesia remains focused and can maintain its lead well. And one thing that I am grateful for is that Marteen Paes can play for Indonesia. And it looks like the player's injury has recovered. There are still 10 minutes left in this match. And the score could change again. but I would prefer the score not to change until the end.
The Indonesian national team looks like it will be able to maintain its current score. Thanks to the coach that Indonesia currently has, namely Shin Tae-yong, we can see Indonesia's game which is calmer and less hasty and yes, a little better. But Bahrain is actually not in good condition because they also lost in their previous match, namely when they faced Japan with a fairly large score. But it is truly extraordinary that we can see that Indonesia can make things difficult for Bahrain at this time. Because usually Indonesia always has difficulties when facing Bahrain. I think M.Paes is one of the best goalkeepers in that match. He continuously made saves for the Indonesian goal. I actually don't have high hopes for Indonesia. So I was quite surprised to see that Indonesia had not lost in the current Asian zone World Cup qualifiers.
It is very unfortunate with the final score of 2-2 and the referee's decision that was so detrimental to Indonesia, where the additional time had shown that the match was actually over but unfortunately the referee Ahmed Al Kaf had not yet blown his whistle, but we Bharain had already scored a goal, the referee Ahmed Al Kaf had just blown the whistle that the match was over, of course a controversial decision even though they shared points but of course Indonesia was still disadvantaged by an incident like this.
