Darwis, the Maestro of the Goal Fest, Replaced by Yafi After Harsh Foul by Brunei Player

Robi Darwis once again played a pivotal role in Indonesia U-23’s midfield during their goal fest against Brunei. His sharp passing and vision created numerous chances for his teammates. However, Darwis’s impressive performance was cut short in the second half after a rough tackle by Brunei striker Muhammad Al-Kholil bin Sapawi in the 70th minute, which earned the Brunei player a yellow card.

Following the incident, Darwis was forced to leave the field and was replaced by Yardan Yafi. Yafi’s presence brought renewed energy to Indonesia’s midfield, helping maintain the team’s intensity and control over Brunei.

Darwis’s orchestration as the midfield maestro, followed by Yafi’s injection of fresh legs and spirit, became a key factor in Indonesia’s continued dominance until the final whistle. Brunei found it even harder to withstand Garuda Muda’s relentless attacks throughout the match.
