Indonesian U-16 national futsal team coach Reka Cahya Punthoadi highlighted his players' focus after failing to beat Vietnam in the second match of the preliminary round of the 2025 ASEAN U-16 Boys' Futsal Championship or the 2025 ASEAN U-16 Futsal Championship at Nonthanburi Hall, Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday.
Alfayyadh Rafarrel Haerul scored two goals (14', 27') to give Indonesia a two-goal lead. However, this lead was wiped out when the opposing team equalized, first through Nguyen Ba Manh (29') and then Bui Gia Bao in the final seconds before the end of the match.
"This is what sports is all about. We have to focus for 2 x 20 minutes, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and that will definitely have a big impact in a tournament like this, in a competition like this," Reka said after the match, in a recording received from the Indonesian national futsal team.
