In the pre-World Cup qualifying match which took place in the Asia zone on March 21, 2024, there was a match between Indonesia and Vietnam which took place at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta.
The match was exciting and lively, even the Indonesian president Joko Widodo was present with his ministers and staff at the GBK, Jakarta stadium. In this match, the Indonesian national team fielded several naturalized players such as Hubner, Ivan Jenner, Sandy Walsh, and so on. Even so, the players who are known as local players still showed their abilities, even Indonesia’s goal was scored by Egy Maulana Vikri who came on as a substitute.
The goal occurred through the process of throwing the ball by Pratama Arhan toward the Vietnamese defender who was unable to block it properly, so it fell to Egy Maulana Vikri’s feet. Egy, who was standing opposite the Vietnam goalkeeper, easily shot the ball into the Vietnam goal with a left foot kick, slowly and measuredly the ball finally entered Vietnam’s goal. The goal occurred in the 52nd minute of the ongoing match between Vietnam and Indonesia at GBK.
After scoring a goal, the Indonesian national team did not defend but continued to attack, even in the final minutes of the match, Arhan Pratama was able to beat the Vietnamese defender and deliver a measured pass to Egy Maulana Vikri, even though there was no goal, Vikri’s kick made the Vietnamese players tremble. His kick was blocked by the Vietnam goalkeeper.
The defenders of the Indonesian National Team also performed well in last night’s match. It was recorded that the Vietnam National Team was only able to fire one shot that hit the Indonesian goalkeeper. The rest of the Indonesian National Team had more opportunities, the Indonesian National Team was able to place 8 shots at the Vietnam goalkeeper.
