Jakarta –
Indonesia is fighting for third place with Iraq in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup. The match, which also competes for Olympic tickets, will be held this evening.
Iraq vs Indonesia is scheduled for Thursday (2/5/2024) at 22.30 WIB. The duel was held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium.
The Indonesian U-23 national team had to settle for fighting in this match after losing to Uzbekistan in the semifinals. Young Garuda surrendered 0-2 to the White Wolves.
Meanwhile, Iraq failed to reach the final after being defeated by Japan. The Blue Samurai beat the Mesopotamian Lions 2-0.
The Indonesian U-23 national team will be without team captain, Rizky Ridho, when facing Iraq. The 22-year-old defender received sanctions due to the red card he received against Uzbekistan.
On the one hand, Raphael Struijk can be played again by Indonesia U-23. This young Ado Den Haag striker was absent when they met Uzbekistan due to an accumulation of cards.
Iraq U-23 can still play their best squad when clashing with Indonesia. Striker Ali Jasim is a mainstay because he has scored 3 goals in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.
The winner of the Iraq vs Indonesia match automatically gets a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympic finals. The losing team will face Africa’s representative, Guinea, in a play-off match in Paris on May 9.
