Indonesia notches second straight win after packing off a stubborn Timor-Leste 3-0 in a Group A clash of the Asean Hyundai Cup
Indonesia secured a 3-0 victory against Timor-Leste in the Asean Hyundai Cup, despite Timor-Leste playing with ten men for most of the match. The win keeps Indonesia in a strong position in Group A with six points.
Why it matters
The match results influence the standings of the Asean Hyundai Cup, a significant regional sporting event in Southeast Asia.
Late goals from Shane Pattynama, Thom Haye and Mitch Baker ensured Indonesia saw off a stubborn, spirited 10-man Timor-Leste to record a 3-0 win in Chonburi on Friday and pick up a second successive victory in Group A of the Asean Hyundai Cup 2026.
Jackson Fowler had been sent off for the home side in the 21st minute for a second bookable offence but Zé Pedro’s resilient side held out until 16 minutes from time before Indonesia made their extra player pay off in full.
It was Pattynama who finally broke the deadlock with a cool finish before Haye’s stunning free kick doubled the advantage four minutes later. Baker scored his fourth goal in two games in the 81st minute, tapping in Ragnar Oratmangoen’s low centre from close range.
