“9 minutes of extra time, through the theater equalizer” Shin Tae-yong-ho, Bahrain’s disappointing draw against Bahrain
The Indonesia national soccer team, led by Shin Tae-yong, narrowly missed out on all three points against Bahrain.
Indonesia conceded a theatrical stoppage-time equalizer after leading 2-1 in the third Group C match of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia 2018 qualifiers at the Bahrain National Stadium in Rifa, Bahrain, on Wednesday (Nov. 11) to draw 2-2 with Bahrain.
Indonesia conceded a free-kick opener to Bahrain’s Mohamed Marhoon in the 15th minute, but Ragnar Oratmangoen slotted home the equalizer in first-half stoppage time. After the first half ended 1-1, Raphael Struik made it 2-1 in the 29th minute with a right-footed curling shot from the left side of the penalty box. Nine minutes into stoppage time, Bahrain scored a theatrical goal to seal the victory for Shin Tae-Yong Ho.
From a corner kick, Marhoon equalized to tie the game at 2-2.
“I would like to double-check the referee’s decision during the match, and if AFC wants to develop further, the referee’s judgment and leadership should be improved,” 카지노사이트 Shin said in an interview published by the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI). “There were six minutes of extra time and the goal came in the ninth minute, so I think the referee’s decision was biased. I think everyone can understand why our players were upset.”
The one point added to Indonesia’s tally puts them fifth out of six teams in Group C after three consecutive draws in the third qualifier. Elsewhere in Group C, China dropped to the bottom of the table after losing their third straight game, 1-3 to second-placed Australia (4 points), while Japan (9 points) beat Saudi Arabia (4 points) 2-0 to stay top of the group.
Meanwhile, Iraq, who are tied with South Korea at the top of the group, won their third qualifying Group B match against Palestine 1-0 in An Bang on Nov. 11, thanks to a 31st-minute goal from Aymen Hussein. The Iraqis are in second place with seven points, level on goal difference with South Korea, who beat Jordan 2-0 earlier in the day, but with a two-goal deficit.
