Shin Tae-yong
Although they did not advance to the quarterfinals, just reaching the tournament stage was a brilliant achievement for Indonesian soccer.
Coach Shin, who has been leading Indonesia since 2020 and has achieved good results such as runner-up in the 2020 Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) Championship and bronze medal in the 2021 Southeast Asian Games,
has further solidified his position in the Indonesian soccer world by advancing to the round of 16.
The Indonesian fans who almost occupied the 15,000-seat Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium,
the second-smallest stadium in this tournament,
passionately chanted cheers for the players and coach Shin even as the defeat deepened in the second half.
Indonesia actively put pressure on Australia, ranked 25th in the FIFA rankings and considered a favorite to win the tournament, from the beginning.
In the 6th minute of the first half, Indonesia also made a unfortunate scene, such as Justin Hubner’s cross from the left,
which Raphael Strike finished with a right-footed non-stop shot that ended up in the top net.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Yakov Sayuri’s volley shot following Marcelino Ferdinan’s cross missed the goal,

scored an additional goal with a side attack in the 45th minute of the first half.
Martin Boyle, who was rushing from the other side, finished a cross from Gesin Jones from the right with a diving header, hitting the Indonesian net.
