“There is no evaluation about the match against Palestine. That was our motivation,” Hansamu Yama said.

Statistically, Indonesia national team also defeated by Syria (0-1) on November 2017 and Bahrain (0-1) on April 27.

“We have the motivation, moreover we never win against the Middle East teams. So tomorrow would be our chance to win,” Hansamu Yama explained.

If they win, the U23 Indonesia national team will play against the winner of the match between Bangladesh and North Korea.
