The meeting took place on January 29 in Jakarta and ended with a victory for the local team with a score of 5:3.
“Our guys performed at a good level; there were many positive moments in the game, and the strategic plan worked out as we expected. In such matches, leadership qualities and individual abilities of the players play a key role, and we had plenty of those,” he noted.
“We thoroughly analyzed the opponent and were aware of their strengths, especially in set pieces, which we managed to almost completely neutralize. However, unfortunately, the combinations initiated outside the penalty area proved successful for them. Although we defended well, our accuracy in finishing left much to be desired. But we had enough opportunities to score. This match was a valuable experience for us, especially considering the atmosphere in which the game took place,” Jetibaev added.
