The Indonesian U-17 national team extended their lead over Yemen U-17 to 4-1 in the second match of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup on Monday (7/4/2025) evening.
Playing at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia’s U-17 national team coach, Nova Arianto, maintained the same winning lineup that had secured a 1-0 victory over South Korea on Friday, 4th April 2025.
What was different this time was that the Indonesian U-17 national team appeared more attacking. On multiple occasions, Muhammad Mierza Firjatullah and his teammates threatened the Yemeni goal. However, their finishing was not quite perfect, preventing the opening goal from arriving earlier.
In the 16th minute, Indonesia finally broke the deadlock. Zahaby Gholy’s powerful strike from outside the penalty box tore through the Yemen defence, giving Indonesia a 1-0 lead.
The Indonesian U-17 team played very well in this match, immediately putting pressure on Yemen’s defence from the start.
Indonesia won 4-1 against Yemen in the second match of Group C of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah on Monday (7/4/2025).
