Expect fireworks at Gelora Bung Karno tonight! Indonesia U-23 will lock horns with archrival Malaysia U-23 in a high-stakes final Group A match at the 2025 AFF U-23 Championship.

Coach Gerald Vanenburg has made a bold call, handing the goalkeeper gloves to Cahya Supriadi, while previous starter Muhammad Ardiansyah sits this one out. Captain Kadek Arel continues to marshal the backline, anchoring the defense with authority.
