On the evening of September 10, the Indonesian team will host the Australian team at home in the second match of Group C, Round 3 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
With the support of tens of thousands of home fans, the Indonesian team played with confidence. Coach Shin Tae-yong's players entered the match with enthusiasm and created many opportunities towards the Australian goal.
After about 10 minutes of being at a disadvantage, Australia gradually regained control of the game and began to put pressure on Indonesia's goal.
Australia created consecutive opportunities. However, the lack of luck of the strikers on the attack line, combined with the excellence of the Indonesian goalkeeper, caused the first half of the match to end without any goals being scored.
The game did not change much in the second half when Australia was still the team that took the initiative on the field.
However, efficiency in finishing is still a problem for the Australian team as their strikers continuously miss opportunities.
On the contrary, Indonesia also had some notable counter-attacks but were also unsuccessful. The score remained 0-0 until the referee blew the final whistle.
With this result, Indonesia has 2 points after 2 unbeaten opening matches in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
Coach Shin Tae-yong's team is temporarily ranked 4th in Group C. In the next match, the Indonesian team will travel to Bahrain's field on October 10.
