Indonesia drew 0-0 with Malaysia in their FIFA ASEAN Cup group match on Monday, a result that leaves the team's place in the final to be decided in its last group fixture, according to Jakarta Globe. Indonesia played the closing stages a man down after a sending-off.
The match was staged at Gelora Bung Karno, where ANTARA News had reported a possible full house for the Indonesia-Malaysia meeting.
The draw left Indonesia coach John Herdman looking for a sharper attacking approach, Tempo.co English reported after the match. Malaysia's side, meanwhile, had been told by Faisal to treat the pressure of the Gelora Bung Karno crowd as motivation, according to Sarawak Tribune.
The result means neither side settled its group position on Monday. Indonesia's final berth now depends on how the last group match unfolds.
What to watch next: Indonesia's closing group fixture, which will determine whether Herdman's team reaches the final.
