INDONESIA kept alive their hopes to qualify for the second round of the 2023 Asian Cup finals with a surprise 1-0 victory over Vietnam in their second Group D match in Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha yesterday.

Team captain Asnawi Mangkualam Bahar did not disappoint, handing his team their first win of the tournament through a first-half penalty in the 42nd minute, awarded due to an error by Vietnam’s Nguyen Thanh Binh in the penalty box.
