Indonesia v Singapore AFC Under 19
Small but raucous crowd at the Jalak Harupat Stadium, something the Singaporean players will be used to. Well, the small crowd anyway!
1' - Munawar goes close for Indonesia with a 20 yard drive
3' - bright start by Indonesia with their #9 going close with a header
This is the first chance most of us have had to see the lads who have spent the last couple of years in Uruguay
6' - Syamsir Alam goes down under a challenge with the Singapore keeper Neezam
8' - hmm, should Indonesia have had a penalty? Looked like it but no replays...
9' - flick on by Munawar but just ahead of Alam
10' - all one way stuff this...
11' - yellow for Euguene Luo for careless challenge on left touchline
11' - free kick driven in low and hard evading three Indonesian players and keeper collects
14' - Singapore corner but comfortably cleared
16' - Indonesia winning the flick ons but failing to collect the 2nd ball. Singapore settling down after weathering early storm
22' - half way through the first half and Singapore much more composed and congesting the midfield
23' - couple of chances for some Singapore guy but first he kicks air and second is scuffed just 10 yards out. Escape for Indonesia
27' - Madhu looks impressive for Singapore, leggy and strong
36' - Yagalo's 35 yard effort is harmless and is an indication of how much Singapore have tightened defefensively
37' - freekick from Christiantoko floats harmlessly over.
37' - best effort so far. Indonesia finally win the second ball, Syamsir Alam shows his strength holding off a defender but can't keep his volley down
44' - Singapore break but Luo's shot is weak and easily cleared
45' - Syamsir Alam goes down in the box but ref is not convinced and gives him yellow
HALF TIME 0-0
48' - Shafiq muscles the impressive Syamsir Alam off the ball and clears the danger
51' - Reinaldi goes close as Indonesia open brightly. Singapore yet to worry Beny Yoewanto Stya in the Indonesian goal but when will the home side actually convert? Just like the full national side they cannot finish
54' - Shafiq gets a free header but Beny brings off an excellent save as Singapore finally get dangerous
57' - Firmansyah from 40 yards nearly catches Neezam off his line. Nearly
62' - Singapore coaching staff told to be quiet by ref!
66' - Khairul Nizam gets red card...he's on the fucking bench!
68' - Singapore 1-0! they beat the offside trap, such as it was, and a low cross is converted by an unmarked Madhu
73' - Indo playing keep ball in the middle 3rd...good for Singapore
74' - knackered looking Manawar replaced
76' - shot by Singapore #21 just about reaches Indonesian keeper
78' - Muhayamin replaced by Ahmad for Singapore
81' - Lestaluhu goes close after getting to a knock down first
83' - Alan Martha replaces Syamsir Alam for the last few minutes
86' - nice first touch and turn by Martha but a bit ambitious trying to beat the keeper at the near post from that angle
87' - Ohorella (Indonesia) gets stamped on his leg but probably, hopefully, accidentally
90' - 5 mins injury time
93' - Christiantoko sends a free kick a yard high
FULL TIME Indonesia v Singapore 0-1
