Starting from the way Asnawi Mangkualam grabbed the ball and ran to smack the opponent. Then pass while passing or nutmeg the opponent until the ball touches Witan’s feet and passes one or two more to Asnawi, and in the end Witan’s first time kick is right at the goal of Singapore.

Witan’s goal process was praised by Bleacher Report in their special football twitter account, namely @brfootball. When this news was made, there have been a total of more than 5 thousand retweets and 13 thousand more likes on the post.

“Run. Nutmeg. One-two pass. Final completion. This goal created by Indonesia has it all,” tweeted the Twitter account @brfootball, Thursday (12/23/2021).

Witan’s goal in the 28th minute is indeed extraordinary. Some even compared Witan’s goal to Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal when he scored against Juventus in the 2016-2017 Champions League final.

In the final match, Ronaldo, who is still defending Real Madrid, scored his first goal with a similar goal process. At that time Dani Carvajal looked like Asnawi who did a one or two pass with Ronaldo before finally releasing a pass in front of the goal which was immediately grabbed by CR7.

On social media, there are also busy showing two videos of Ronaldo and Witan’s goal process which are very similar. So, don’t be surprised if Witan’s goal against Singapore is quite extraordinary because Ronaldo has done it too.

Unfortunately, Witan’s goal did not lead the Indonesian national team to win over Singapore. The match ended 1-1 and the Indonesian national team had to fight hard to win in the second leg which will be held on Saturday 25 December 2021.
