ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Indonesia and Malaysia played out a tense 0-0 draw at the Gelora Bung Karno, but the result only tells part of the story.
Ryan Walters is joined by Indonesian football journalist Ilham Batara Simatupang at GBK to break down a chaotic night in Jakarta, from Tom Haye’s first-half red card and Indonesia’s struggles with 10 men to Malaysia’s missed opportunity to take advantage.
They discuss the chants for former Indonesia coach Shin Tae-yong around the stadium, questions over John Herdman’s Plan B, Malaysia’s second-half approach, and why a draw against their biggest rivals felt more like a defeat for Indonesia.
Plus, hear from inside the post-match press conferences as Herdman praises the GBK crowd as Indonesia’s “X factor,”, Maarten Paes reflects on another clean sheet, and Tan Cheng Hoe looks back on the chances Malaysia missed to win it.
Elsewhere, Singapore picked up their first win of the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Bangladesh, with reaction from Gavin Lee, Harhys Stewart and Thomas Dooley.
