SEAToday.com, Qatar - The Indonesia U23 National Team claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Australia in their second Group A match at the AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024, held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on Thursday (4/18).

In a tense first half, Australia had a golden opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot, but their effort was expertly saved by Indonesia's goalkeeper, Ernando Ari Sutaryadi. Garuda Muda then broke the deadlock in the 45th minute through a Komang Teguh header, following a teasing cross from Nathan Tjoe-A-On from a corner kick.

The second half saw both teams pushing for a goal, but neither side could find the back of the net until the final whistle blew.

Indonesia U23 will now face Jordan on April 21 in their next match.
