Indonesia after beating England and Wales and holding the USA draw made its ranking rise to 51. Indonesia's ranking can continue to grow if Indonesia plays until the semifinals. although it is impossible but Luis Enrique's target is the semi-final of the world cup.
after waiting for a while both teams finally entered the field.in the stadium there are already many supporters and journalists.cameraman there are also very many and atsmofer different from ordinary matches.
as usual the first is the Anthem national anthem of both countries and fluttering a large round flag.
the last match started from Indonesia and as usual they want to attract Ecuador players first, but the trick is useless because they already understand how to play the Indonesian national team on the field. in the end the Indonesian national team oper pass in its own territory and forced 2 players forward.
but 2 players still easily become cat kelingan. eventually 4 players advanced and at that time Jordi Amat immediately feed the hull forward. many players thought they would be sent to Supriadi but apparently to the middle.
Riski received a pass and dribbled past two players then kicked into the goal but still wide above the crossbar.The match continues fierce where Indonesia in brackets exhausted by the Ecuador national team.

after seeing the var referee tells that it is a free kick.The Free Kick area can be very profitable because it is very tight with the penalty box. Riski who has the greatest accuracy becomes a Free Kick kicker.
Riski also kicked Free Kick. kick Riski tightly past the head of the posse. Moises Ramirez has read and jumped to save the goal. Moises Ramirez saw the ball through his hand.
the ball hits the crossbar but bounces and goes into the goal. Riski immediately ran to the edge to celebrate the goal then another player came to him. The players on the bench immediately got up and jumped for joy including Luis Enrique and Luis Mila.

"aaggghhhh shit like Indonesia has not been able to play offensive" Luis Enrique said
Luis Enrique woke up and told the players to get back into defensive formation.The meeting was again made and there were no goals in the first half. the players enter the hallway and into the dressing room to rest and discuss strategy.
the match began again and Indonesia traumatized attacking play. Luis Enrique told longball to the middle no longer to the wings or give a breakthrough pass.
Indonesia like not breathed by Ecuador in the second round.In fact Indonesia can compensate Ecuador but if playing Offensive Indonesia often blunder.
62 Minutes Riski got a breakthrough pass from Arhan and immediately ran into the penalty box. because Riski in the press exhausted Riski decided to widen to the right wing. after on the right wing he outwitted two players and then gave a crossing pass to the middle of the penalty box.
the crossing bait did not produce anything because the Indonesian player lost the air duel because of body posture. Riski was only irritated because there was no high player in the box.
the match continued and Indonesia only played longball forward repeatedly until the second half whistle ended the score remains 1-1. Luis Enrique signed David Maulana to replace Witan Sulaeman.
in the 94th minute Riski got a longball pass but he did not take to the penalty box and immediately pass to Supriadi who was in an empty position. Supriadi took to the penalty box then kicked the ball flat but still wide to the left of the Ecuador goal.
minute 102 Luis Enrique replaced Supriadi with Irfan Jaya. In the second half extra time Egy played well and passed 3 Ecuador players. after passing 3 Ecuador players Egy gave a pass to the middle of the penalty box.
Riski held the ball and kicked but was still caught by the Ecuador goalkeeper. Raminorez told the players to go forward. Ramirez kicked but he kicked the ball wrong and hit his ankle which made the ball wasted slowly.
Irfan Jaya who wanted to return to the Indonesian area was surprised the ball arrived behind him. because Irfan Jaya was not in the slightest guard he then turned back and kicked the ball slowly to the middle.
other players did not expect with the blunder even Irfan Jaya himself was shocked because he was the softest road but was given a blessing. the ball rolled and Raminorez tried to chase the ball but he was late until the ball kept coming in.
Irfan Jaya immediately ran to the sidelines doing a knee slide and climbed onto the sponsorship board to celebrate the goal with the supporters. Indonesia just enough to hold a draw because the minute is in the number 114 and they scored a goal.
Luis Enrique jumped up and the players on the bench approached Riski.they celebrated the goal together in front of the supporters.The referee had to intervene to disperse the goal celebration.
Indonesia back the defense meeting even the striker and winger has 100% retreated to the defense line to keep the score. until the end of the match the score remains 1-2 for the victory of the Indonesian national team.
Indonesia managed to qualify for the top 8 of the world cup and this will be a big history.Indonesian players return to the hotel with happy feelings throughout the trip.
the whole of Indonesia is fanning and did not expect to get this far.
now there is another game left to see who is into the top 8. Luis Enrique's target is the semifinals although in fact the target of PSSI in the world cup is just a one-time draw in the 2022 world cup.
PSSI became very satisfied with the performance of Luis Enrique to want to extend the contract.
