Indonesia Lolos Usai Tundukkan China di Kualifikasi Piala Dunia

According to Bolasport.com, the Indonesia national football team recorded a crucial 1-0 victory over China in the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, played yesterday.

Ole Romeny was the hero of the match — scoring the winning goal that sent Indonesia through to the fourth round of qualifying.

The key incident occurred when Ricky Kambuaya was fouled by Zexiang Yang in the 40th minute — the Chinese player deliberately tripped Kambuaya on the right side of the defense.

The referee stopped the game for a VAR check after the Dewa United player appeared to be in pain and needed medical treatment — the penalty decision was awarded two minutes later.

In the next round, six teams from three groups will compete for:

  • Two direct spots in the 2026 FIFA World Cup
  • A chance to play in the prestigious global tournament
