Indonesian national futsal team player Israr Megantara revealed that his coach, Hector Souto, firmly asked him to immediately forget his penalty miss in the Pala Asia Futsal 2026 final against Iran at the Indonesia Arena, Jakarta, Saturday.
"Because from before, the coach always said, 'Because it's a penalty, you just come, kick the ball, and then forget about it. The coach said, 'Do you want to forget it or I'll kill you?'" Israr said after the final match at the Indonesia Arena on Saturday.
Israr scored a hat trick or three goals to bring the final to a 5-5 draw after normal time and extra time.
