Indonesia Secures Fourth Round After 1-0 Win Over China

According to Bolasport.com, the Indonesia national football team secured a ticket to the fourth round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers — a feat sealed after defeating China 1-0 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.

Striker Ole Romeny was the hero of the match, scoring just before halftime to secure a vital three points for the Garuda Squad in their ninth match of Group C.

Indonesia’s advancement was further confirmed after Bahrain suffered a defeat against Saudi Arabia at home — a result that mathematically ensured Indonesia’s place could not be overtaken in the group standings.

Despite achieving the PSSI’s target of reaching the fourth round, coach Shin Tae-yong’s team still faces challenges — particularly the stark difference in performance between home and away games, which needs special attention.
