Timnas U20 Indonesia lost 0-2 to Jordan in an international friendly at the Amir Complex Stadium in Antalya, Turkiye, on Wednesday.

Laith Al-Rabee opened the scoring for Jordan in the 42nd minute before Mohammed Abu Musharraf added a second goal just after the break in the 47th minute. The fixture formed part of a training camp in Antalya as head coach Nova Arianto prepares his squad for the AFC U20 Asian Cup 2027 in China.

Jordan FA reported that their side played well across both halves of a tightly contested match. “Tim secara keseluruhan menampilkan permainan yang baik di kedua babak,” the organization said, adding that the team deserved the victory in a match that remained difficult from start to finish.
