ZOAHARIAN.COM - An extraordinary evening was presented at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Thursday (1/10/2026). The Indonesian national team went on a rampage and destroyed Bangladesh with a landslide score of 9-2, while ensuring a ticket to the final round of the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup.

The match took place at a high tempo from the first minute. Garuda appeared aggressive and immediately made Bangladesh's defense confused.

In just the first 45 minutes, Indonesia scored six goals and closed the first half with a 6-1 lead.

Mitchell Baker is the main star. The young player appeared crazy by scoring four goals, aka quat tricks. The other two goals were contributed by Rizky Ridho and Justin Hubner respectively.

Garuda's scoring spree didn't seem like enough.

Second Half Full of Drama

Entering the second half, Indonesia continued to try to maintain the pressure. Kevin Diks and friends continue to hunt for the seventh goal.

In the 49th minute, Ole Romeny fell in the Bangladesh penalty box. The Indonesian players asked for a penalty, but the referee did not consider it a violation.

The incident was then reviewed via VOR. After the examination, the decision remained the same: there were no violations and Indonesia did not receive a penalty.

Indonesia continues to attack. However, entering the 60th minute, additional goals had not yet appeared.

Bangladesh's defense turned tighter. In fact, their goalkeeper made several important saves to thwart Garuda's chances.

John Herdman then made changes. Rizky Ridho was withdrawn and Luke Vickery was introduced in the 60th minute.

Entering the 70th minute, Indonesia was still unable to add goals. Garuda's front line began to look rushed in finishing.

Herdman made another change by bringing in Egy Maulana and Dean James.

The attacks continued again. Romeny had a chance, Dean James tried his luck, while Elkan Baggott also threatened with his header.

However, everything still failed to become a goal.

Romeny scored a goal, but it was disallowed

Drama occurred again in the 84th minute.

Ole Romeny actually managed to break through Bangladesh's goal. However, the joy of the Indonesian players and supporters only lasted for a moment after the linesman raised the offside flag.

Bangladesh became more confident in the final minutes. On the other hand, Indonesia looks frustrated because various opportunities have failed to be maximized.

However, Garuda finally found a gap again.

Minute 90 Becomes the Beginning of Chaos

In the 90th minute, Luke Vickery scored a goal after receiving an assist from Ole Romeny.

The score changed to 7-1.

However, Bangladesh immediately gave a surprising response. Only a minute later, Farhaan Ali Wahid scored a goal on a counter-attack and reduced the deficit.

The competition is getting hotter.

Entering injury time, an incident occurred on the field involving Ole Romeny and a Bangladeshi defender. A number of reserve players even entered the field so that the atmosphere in the match heated up.

But the drama is not over.

From a dead ball situation, Kevin Diks appeared and scored a goal with a header.

SUGBK thundered again.

Indonesia leads 8-2.

Before Bangladesh had time to breathe, Mitchell Baker scored another goal after receiving an assist from Ole Romeny.

This goal also completed Baker's quattrick in this match.

9-2! Garuda ke Final!

The long whistle finally sounded.

Indonesia won 9-2 over Bangladesh.

Nine goals, drama, emotional cards, disallowed opportunities, and goals in injury time colored an extraordinary night at SUGBK.

This victory ensures that the Indonesian national team will qualify for the final round of the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup.

Garuda is now just one step away from the trophy. The goal party against Bangladesh was the perfect ending to Indonesia's journey towards the top match.
