Shin Tae-yong Magic stopped, but proved why he caught South Korea.
Indonesia’s U-23 team, led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan in the semifinals of the Asian Football Confederation 2024 U-23 Asian Cup at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 29th (Korea time). Now, Indonesia will play the third-place match against the loser of the match between Japan and Iraq scheduled for the 30th.
Indonesia was classified as a team that was not strong enough to advance to the semifinals. However, the team eventually advanced to the semifinals under the guidance of Shin Tae-yong.
Coincidentally, Indonesia defeated Korea, coach Shin Tae-yong’s motherland, in the semifinals. After a 2-2 draw with the favorite, Korea, Indonesia showed an extraordinary situation in which it overwhelmed Korea after a penalty shootout.
And Indonesia proved that the victory against Korea was not a coincidence. He did not back down against another favorite, Uzbekistan. In the 27th minute, he seemed to get a chance to take a penalty, but was canceled due to an dubious decision.
Then, he scored the first goal at the 16th minute of the second half. However, after checking the VAR, he declared offside and the score was cancelled. Indonesia was not very lucky in many ways.
Ultimately, the goddess of victory ruled in favor of Uzbekistan. However, Indonesia was definitely not an easy opponent. If a penalty kick was awarded and the first goal was recognized, it was Indonesia that could have advanced to the final. 메이저사이트
