Slightly defeated, but felt crushing.The Indonesian U-23 national team, which is on a mission to defend its gold, had to swallow the bitter pill of losing to the Philippines.
The bad results of the Garuda Muda squad also narrowed their chances of reaching the semifinals.Now it is no longer possible for Indra Sjafri’s team to win the group.The only hope to qualify for the semifinals is to become the best runner up.

At the 2025 SEA Games, only three winners from each group and one best runner up will qualify for the semifinals.
To become the best runner up, Indonesia does not only depend on the results of the second match against Myanmar.The Red and White Team also depends on the results of matches in other groups, specifically the Vietnam vs Malaysia match which will take place on Thursday (11/12).
Currently both countries have collected three points.With just one additional point, Vietnam or Malaysia could become runners up in the best group.
If the Vietnam vs Malaysia match ends in a draw, then both countries will collect four points.
The collection of four points beats Timor Leste, which has collected three points and is likely to be runner up in Group A.
With a collection of four points, Vietnam or Malaysia will surpass Indonesia’s maximum points.
Dony Tri Pamungkas and his friends only have one match left against Myanmar.If they can beat Myanmar, the U-23 Indonesian National Team can only collect three points.
This situation makes the Vietnam vs Malaysia match prone to abuse because both teams can play without aiming for victory.
