MANILA – The Indonesian national team will face the Philippines in the second match of Group F of the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila, Tuesday (21/11/2023) at 18.00 WIB. Shin Tae-yong will field 5 defenders in this match.
The Indonesian and Philippine national teams are determined to recover, after receiving minor results in the previous match. The Garuda squad lost 1-5 to Iraq, while the Philippines had to surrender 0-2 to Vietnam.
While facing the Philippines, Shin Tae-yong chose a 5-2-3 formation. Ernando Ari is also trusted as the goalkeeper for the Indonesian national team, replacing Nadeo Argawinata.
Then, Elkan Baggott, Jordi Amat, Shayne Pattynama, Rizky Ridho and Asnawi Mangkualam were trusted to guard the defense line. It is hoped that the five of them will be able to stop all attacks from the Philippines, so that Ernando Ari’s goal is not conceded.
Meanwhile, Rachmat Irianto and Sandy Walsh served as midfielders. Both of them will play a role in stopping the Philippines’ attacks and providing feedback to the attack line.
Then, Saddil Ramdani and Ricky Kambuaya became wingers and were tasked with troubling the Philippine defense through acceleration from the right and left sides. Meanwhile, Rafael Struick is believed to be the main striker and is expected to score goals in the match.
