Indonesia visit the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium to face Brunei on Tuesday (October 17) for the second leg of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers first round.
The Garuda Team has one leg in the second round after thrashing Brunei 6-0 in Jakarta last week. Muhammad Drajad opened the scoring in the seventh minute before Rizky Ridho added a second five minutes later.
In the second half, Muhammad Sananta netted a quickfire brace after the hour mark to give Indonesia a four-goal cushion. Drajad netted twice more late on to bring up his hat-trick and add further gloss to the scoreline.
Brunei will need Indonesia to implode spectacularly and produce their best performance to overturn such a huge deficit. Else, their chances of reaching the next round of the qualifiers are well and truly over.
However, given their form since last year, the Wasps had this coming. They have lost their last six games before before this fixture, including a stunning 10-0 thrashing by Hong Kong in a friendly last month.
As for Indonesia, Shin Tae-yong's side will be eager to wrap up the tie and seal their place among Iraq, Vietnam and the Philippines in Group F for the next round of their campaign.
With the 2023 AFC Asian Cup coming up in January, Indonesia are set to play Iraq, Vietnam and Japan in the group stage, so Team Garuda will be eager to add more wind to their sails.
