The match took place on January 29 in Jakarta, where the hosts of the tournament won with a final score of 5:3.
“Overall, the team showed a good level of play; we had many positive moments on the field, and the tactics we chose worked,” he noted. “In such matches, the strength of the players' spirit and their ability to take individual actions are important, and we had plenty of that.
We analyzed the opponent and understood their strengths, especially in set pieces, which we managed to almost completely neutralize, but despite this, they were able to execute several combinations outside the penalty area that turned out to be successful. Our defense also worked well; however, we lacked accuracy in finishing our attacks. Nevertheless, we had enough opportunities to score. ‘This game gave us valuable experience in such a challenging atmosphere,’” Jetibaev concluded after the match.
