Indonesia continues to win, sending a strong signal to Vietnam's national team ahead of the AFF Cup

(Football results) - Indonesia's national team continues to display remarkable performance with a 1-0 victory over Mozambique in a FIFA Matchday 2026 friendly that took place on the night of June 9 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (SUGBK).

This is the second consecutive win for the archipelago nation, and also the third clean sheet in four matches under coach John Herdman.

In this match, the Canadian tactician made several notable adjustments to the starting lineup. Justin Hubner and Emil Audero were rested, while Calvin Verdonk and Maarten Paes returned to the first eleven. Marselino Ferdinan was also given a starting opportunity, forming an attacking trio with Ragnar Oratmangoen and Ole Romeny for Indonesia.

Although not dominating possession, Indonesia demonstrated efficiency in their attacking plays. From the early minutes, the home side consistently applied pressure on Mozambique's goal.

The only goal of the match came in the 12th minute. From a well-timed through ball by Ragnar Oratmangoen, striker Ole Romeny sprinted forward and fired a precise shot, beating the opposing goalkeeper and putting Indonesia ahead 1-0 amid the cheers of thousands of spectators at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

After taking the lead, Indonesia continued to create several dangerous opportunities but failed to extend the margin. By the end of the first half, the home side had taken 8 shots, with 3 on target and one converted into a goal.

In the second half, Indonesia remained the more proactive side. Ragnar Oratmangoen and his teammates kept pressuring Mozambique's defense, but their finishing was not particularly effective. Substitutions introducing Rayhan Hannan and Sandy Walsh made the home team's play more flexible.

However, Mozambique also showed discipline in defense and did not allow Indonesia to score additional goals. Nonetheless, the Southeast Asian team's defense performed well, denying the opponent many dangerous chances.

Ultimately, Indonesia secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Mozambique. This result extends coach John Herdman's squad's positive run and continues to build confidence ahead of major objectives in the near future.
