00:00Indonesia's victory over Saudi Arabia on 19 October 2024
00:06became a very important moment
00:08because it gave hope to qualify for the World Cup.
00:12The result pushed Indonesia's position to the 3rd place
00:16in the World Cup Qualifying Group C for the 3rd round of the Asia Zone.
00:22What's more, Bahrain and Australia's match ended in a 2-2 draw.
00:27This made Australia in the 2nd place
00:30only 1 point apart from Indonesia.
00:33Mathematically, Indonesia had a better chance
00:36to secure the 4th place which gave them the ticket to the 4th round.
00:41Indonesia needed to win at least 2 matches out of the remaining 4 matches,
00:45especially against teams that competed directly in the bottom position.
00:49Securing points against Bahrain and China became a priority.
00:53In addition, a balanced result against Japan or Australia would be very helpful.
00:58If you want to take the 2nd place to qualify for the World Cup,
01:02Indonesia must win points when Australia is in the lead.
01:06After that, victory must be secured when playing in a cage against Bahrain and China.
01:12The match against Japan is also not less crucial.
01:14Adding 1 point in the Japanese cage means a bigger chance
01:19to secure the ticket to the World Cup 2026.
01:22If this scenario occurs, Indonesia will collect 14 points.
01:27This psychological calculation is enough
01:29to make Indonesia accompany Japan to the World Cup 2026.
01:33With a note, Australia did not achieve good results
01:37after beating Indonesia on March 20, 2025.
01:42In terms of schedule, Australia will still face two heavy opponents,
01:46namely Japan and Saudi Arabia, after defeating Indonesia.
01:50Australia's potential to fail to achieve maximum results
01:53in two matches against Japan and Saudi Arabia is quite open.
01:57An unpleasant schedule also belongs to Saudi Arabia
02:00because it is still playing a tag match against Japan and Bahrain
02:04and occupying Australia.
