Latest football commentary U23 Indonesia vs U23 Malaysia
The match between U23 Indonesia and U23 Malaysia in the final round of Group A of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship is like a "group final". After 2 matches, U23 Indonesia has 6 points and only needs a draw to win the top spot and get a ticket to the semi-finals. On the contrary, U23 Malaysia is under great pressure after a shocking defeat against U23 Philippines. Coach Nafuzi Zain's team must beat U23 Indonesia by at least 3 goals to be able to squeeze through the narrow door to continue - a task that is almost impossible if looking at their current form and performance.

Both teams won big against U23 Brunei, but that did not reflect their true strength, because the opponents were too weak. When facing a "tougher" opponent like the Philippines, both U23 Indonesia and U23 Malaysia revealed many weaknesses. Indonesia played aggressively but only scored thanks to an own goal. Malaysia even had 70% possession but lost 0-2, thereby revealing a big problem in finishing and a lack of coordination in the defense system.
Overall, U23 Indonesia is still considered to be superior thanks to its good organization, flexible playing style and many individuals who can create breakthroughs. Moreover, with the home field advantage, they will know how to regulate the match according to their will, especially when only needing a draw. Meanwhile, U23 Malaysia will find it difficult to play risky and advance because their defense is easily exploited when the opponent counterattacks - something Indonesia is doing quite well with fast players.
