Toulon Tournament held in France in 2018 has entered the semi-final stage.

Today, which coincides on June 6, 2018, is the second semi-final match of the Toulon tournament.

The first match between England and Portugal has been won by Portugal, and now Portugal has been waiting in the final to host which team will qualify later.

In the second match of the semi-finals, there is Indonesia against Mexico who are now competing in Stade Francis Turcan.

The match has also entered the stage where the match became very fierce buying and selling attacks.

But seen from the number of shots recorded in the statistics, Indonesia is superior in the number of shots.

For possession, Indonesia did lose, but Indonesia had many opportunities by relying on the counter-attack.

Now the position in this match is also in the upload by Indonesia who managed to score early.

The goal scored was a surprise goal that may not be expected by all spectators on the field, on television screens, as well as the players on the field.

The goal came after the kick ball was kicked. The goal in print was printed by Sean who used the Witan sodoran into the penalty box earlier.

The player in the red uniform was running fast was none other than Sean himself, not Egy or Rafli.

Sean's goal instinct is very sharp, Sean has started running towards the penalty box when Witan was on the field.

So Sean kept running without Witan's knowledge, fortunately Witan thrust the ball into the penalty box.

The goal scored by Sean was very easy. Sean just kicked him quietly and slowly but purposefully and curled to the left post side of the goalie from the goalkeeper.

The ball kicked by Sean is also very slow but very directional, even the ball is also flat not raised at all.

Sean who scored a goal also did not forget to do his celebrity.

Moreover, the kick off has just begun and Indonesia has excelled, of course Sean must celebrate.

The match that continued from earlier had also entered the 21st minute.

In this match, ball possession is indeed much won or mastered by the Mexican team.

Diego Lainez who is the top scorer at this time is also closely guarded by Nurhidayat, while Irianto closed the path of the ball that will be given to Diego Lainez.

Fortunately, the formation used by Mexico is 4-5-1, where it multiplies and strengthens the midfield but not with the front.

Therefore, in view of the formation alone, Mexico clearly excels in the struggle and possession of the ball because their midfield is very much.

While Indonesia, only 2 when attacking, there will be 4 when defending. And at this time the Indonesian defense is also being attacked so that the Indonesian midfield is filled by 4 players, where Sean and Egy help the midfield in the fight for the ball.

As for the counter-attack later, it will be relied on by Witan and Rafli, but to be more efficient and more dangerous than the counter-attack, Sean and Egy will again help the attack.

Therefore, Sean and Egy in this match will be drained a lot of stamina. But for Sean it doesn't matter, but not for Egy.

The ball which is still controlled by Mexican players also continues to rotate in the midfield area of Indonesia.

The Mexican players are thinking while holding the ball.

They were thinking how to break through into Indonesia's tight defence.

Moreover, both full back right and left sides of Indonesia also presses directly to the players who enter its territory.

Pressing is done both full back, not ordinary pressing.

As for Lutfi and Abhimanyu, they will try to snatch the ball. Well Sean and Egy who will later fill in the empty post left by both full backs that in case of an attack to the right or left side.

Entering the 33rd minute, Mexico who were involuntarily exhausted because they had to continue to control the ball but did not end up being an opportunity to become upset.

One of the Mexican midfielders tried to tilt and break into the Indonesian defense, when entering the distance of 23 meters, the midfielder shot a long distance.

He tries his speculation hoping his speculation becomes a corner kick or becomes a real threat.

But when he shot, Irianto confronted him with his foot. The ball kicked by the midfielder finally hit and bounced up.

The resulting clash makes the ball out of the path that should be towards the goal.

The ball flew towards the right side.

Lutfi, who is a defensive midfielder, also tried to chase the ball, but when he was going to grab the ball, he saw Egy had arrived first.

But Egy was not alone, he was pressed by the opposing player, Lutfi who saw it ran closer to Egy again, but Egy did not pass it.

Egy relied on Lutfi to block the player who was escorting him so that he could be free.

Lutfi of course understood, he immediately made a small barrier so that there was no visible violation as well.

Egy who escaped easily was immediately kicking the ball forward.

The ball that Egy kicked flew into the opponent's territory.

Witan and Rafli also ran after the ball in the following by two opposing defenders.

As for Sean, he also ran trying to catch up with his speed.

The ball that will land is within 28 meters of the goal.

Witan tried to speed up his running pace, but he continued to be pulled on his shirt by the opposing defenders.

While Rafli he who has the quality of fast speed as an attacker also runs fast, he is also in the field with his shirt that is pulled in pull, pull, but Rafli uses his hand to block the opponent from chasing him.

When 2 meters away from the ball, Rafli immediately accelerates his running speed, his hand is also deliberately in motion to the face of the opposing defender to be disturbed.

The opposing defender who could not see it also immediately slowed down his run, while Rafli accelerated.

When Rafli moves his hand towards the face of the opposing defender. Witan has also been overtaken by the opposing defender who pulled his shirt earlier.

But Witan did not stop and continued to run forward.

At the same time as the Witan that followed, on the left side Sean ran very fast.

Perhaps the speed he used was about 35.1 km/h.

With a very fast speed like that, Sean has also caught up with Witan who ran, but has not managed to get ahead of the opposing defenders because Sean is also afraid of offside if getting a pass later.

Rafli who tried from earlier finally got the ball he had been chasing with death.

The shooting distance is still far, Rafli also dribbled the ball quickly into the penalty box.

Why didn't the goalkeeper go forward? It was because he panicked when he saw Witan and Rafli galloping into his territory, so he chose to retreat instead of advancing.
