Kapanlagi.com - The Indonesian National Team created an unforgettable historic moment by defeating Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday (19/11). The match held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium was one of the best performances by the Garuda squad under the guidance of coach Shin Tae-yong.
This brilliant victory was thanks to the brilliant actions of Marselino Ferdinan, who managed to score two goals against the opponent and secure three valuable points for Indonesia. Not only that, Sandy Walsh's spirited celebration shouting "My Brother Shines" also caught attention and went viral after the match.
With this result, Indonesia now sits in third place in Group C, ahead in the head-to-head count against Saudi Arabia. To learn more about the key moments in the match, the strategies behind this success, and the sensational celebration moment of Sandy Walsh, check out the complete review summarized by Kapanlagi.com on Wednesday (20/11).
Indonesia immediately showed its fangs from the very first second of the match, with Marselino Ferdinan almost scoring a spectacular goal in the second minute; unfortunately, his shot only hit the goalpost.
Relentless attacks from the front line confirmed the Garuda squad's determination to achieve victory. Finally, in the 32nd minute, Marselino managed to take the lead with a brilliant shot after getting past Saudi Arabian defender Faisel Al-Ghamdi.
This goal became a turning point that ignited the team's spirit to keep fighting. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia attempted to retaliate, but the solid defense led by Rizky Ridho and Jay Idzes successfully contained every threat that came.
The Indonesian national team demonstrated speed and precision in their counterattacks, which have become their hallmark, with Ragnar Oratmangoen and Rafael Struick as the main players facilitating sharp attacks for the team.
The second goal scored by Marselino Ferdinan is a concrete testament to this brilliant strategy, where he brilliantly welcomed a through ball from midfield and turned it into a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute.
The success of this counterattack clearly marked a striking difference compared to the previous match against Japan, where Indonesia struggled to create opportunities.
Sandy Walsh captivated the audience with his brilliant performance on the right flank, not only excelling in defense but also actively participating in attacks, creating opportunities, and opening space for his teammates.
On the left side, Calvin Verdonk also drew attention; with his solid disciplined play, he nearly scored with a powerful shot that struck at the end of the first half.
The presence of these two players truly provided perfect balance on both sides of the field, making the team even more impressive!
The two goals scored by Marselino not only secured the team’s victory but also affirmed his extraordinary maturity at such a young age. At just 20 years old, this striker amazed the audience with his ability to read the game and optimize every opportunity available.
His first goal was the result of a captivating individual effort, while his second goal reflected his calmness and intelligence when facing the opponent's goal.
Coach Shin Tae-yong demonstrated his cleverness by implementing tactical changes that brought a breath of fresh air to the team, one of which was placing Marselino Ferdinan as a starter and simplifying the build-up strategy.
Not only that, Shin also gave specific instructions to Nathan Tjoe-A-On, who came on in the second half, emphasizing the tactical flexibility that is key to the team's success. The brilliant steps taken by this South Korean coach clearly created a positive impact that cannot be ignored!
This match was filled with tense controversial moments! Justin Hubner was forced to receive a yellow card after committing a hard foul that nearly resulted in a red card, adding to the tension on the field.
Not only that, Ali Albulayhi's provocative actions towards Sandy Walsh also created a heated atmosphere, but fortunately, the referee managed to calm the situation before it escalated further.
After achieving a glorious victory, Sandy Walsh shared his fighting spirit through the Instagram account @timnasindonesia. The expression "Burning My Brother" went viral among supporters, adding warmth to the atmosphere.
With great joy, Sandy joined the celebration with fans at the stadium, creating unforgettable moments. "Good evening, Garuda friends, we won, let’s go! Today is history! Thank you for your support, see you again in March. Come on, Garuda, burning my brother!" he exclaimed with thrilling enthusiasm, as expressed in the Instagram post on Wednesday (20/11).
This glorious victory lifted Indonesia to third place in Group C, surpassing Saudi Arabia in the head-to-head count. However, the journey is still long and full of challenges, as the results of the match between Bahrain and Australia will be crucial for the final standings.
With fiery spirit, the Indonesian national team is now preparing to face the next match in March with optimism and hope for achieving even greater accomplishments.
This celebration radiates the fervent spirit and pride of Sandy Walsh for Indonesia's victory, while also becoming a beautiful symbol of the unity between the team and its loyal supporters.
Marselino Ferdinan shone brightly by scoring two goals that led Indonesia to a convincing 2-0 victory. His actions on the field not only determined the match's outcome but also etched his name as a hero in the hearts of the homeland supporters.
Indonesia has now surged to third place in Group C, increasing its chances of advancing to the next round. Although the results of other matches still remain a determining factor, the fighting spirit of the Garuda team is burning brighter than ever.
