Bali – Indonesia National Team captain Muhammad Ferarri scored two goals against Laos in the match at Manahan Stadium Solo, Friday (13/12/2024) evening WIB. However, the center-back expressed his disappointment. Because, the Garuda Squad failed to win in the second matchday of Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup.
In that match, the national team fell behind twice. However, they were able to equalize through Kadek Arel and Ferarri, respectively in the 12th and 18th minutes. Quoting detikSport, Ferarri’s goal in the 72nd minute then brought the national team to take the lead. However, the lead was only temporary as Laos equalized five minutes later. The match ended 3-3.
Although this draw temporarily brought the Indonesian national team to the top of the Group B standings in the 2024 AFF Cup. However, this position is vulnerable. Because Vietnam and the Philippines have only played once.
“Two goals today are not enough for me, we know that we need to win to advance to the next phase,” said Ferarri after the match.
Indonesia will next face Vietnam in Hanoi. They are preparing very seriously for the AFF Cup 2024. Vietnam previously crushed Laos 4-1. They only conceded due to a penalty in injury time.
