Shin Tae-yong's Indonesia's defeat in the first round of the U-23 Asian Cup

Coach Shin Tae-yong's start to the 2024 Paris Olympics is not good.

Indonesia, led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, lost 0-2 in the first Group A match of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Asian Cup at Jasim bin Hamad Stadium in Alayyan, Qatar, on the 16th.

In the match, Indonesia started the tournament with a defeat after a series of negative developments, with two players being sent off and even coach Shin Tae-yong receiving a warning for protesting the decision. Indonesia is at the bottom of Group A with one loss, and Qatar is at the top of Group A with one win (three points). Earlier, the opening match between Australia and Jordan, held at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, ended in a draw without a score.

Indonesia scored the first goal through a penalty kick during extra time in the first half. A penalty kick was awarded after VAR, and Qatari kicker Khaled Ali became the hero of the first goal of the tournament. As soon as the second half started, Indonesia was outnumbered by midfielder Ivar Jenner as he received the second warning, and even conceded an additional goal in the ninth minute of the second half. 안전 토토사이트

Coach Shin Tae-yong even received a warning while strongly protesting at the 12th minute in the second half, and Indonesia even had striker Ramadan Samanta sent off at the extra time in the second half, adding to the burden in the remaining matches. Indonesia will play its second group match against Australia on Wednesday.

The final gateway to the 2024 Paris Olympics finals, the two teams that reached the finals and the winning team in the third-place match will secure a berth to the Olympics. The fourth-place finisher must win the playoff against Guinea, the fourth-place finisher in the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, to win a ticket to Paris.

The Korean U-23 team, led by Hwang Sun-hong, will play its first Group B match against the United Arab Emirates at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. Hwang was in Group B with the UAE, Japan and China.
