Emil Audero’s father speaks up after heavy defeat to Japan

Following Indonesia’s heavy defeat to Japan in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers, goalkeeper Emil Audero’s father Edy Mulyadi shared his perspective.

In yesterday’s final Group C third round match, Emil Audero’s goal was breached six times — with Daichi Kamada contributing two of those goals.

Despite the significant loss, Edy Mulyadi expressed no disappointment in his son’s performance — though he emphasized the need for comprehensive team evaluation before the fourth round.

Match statistics revealed complete Japanese dominance — as Patrick Kluivert’s squad failed to register a single shot on goal, compared to the visitors’ 21 attempts.
