Playing at home at Manahan Stadium, Indonesia had a difficult match. In the first half, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team let Laos take the lead twice and had to rely on goals from Kadek Arel (minute 12) and Muhammad Ferarri (minute 19) for the home team to equalize 2-2. In the second half, Muhammad Ferarri continued to shine (minute 72), helping Indonesia take the lead 3-2. However, just 5 minutes later, 18-year-old player Peter Phanthavong kicked the ball accurately, bringing the final goal for the Laos team.
After 2 matches, Indonesia has 4 points (1 win, 1 draw), temporarily leading Group B with 2 points more than Vietnam (Vietnam did not play the second round). Not having all 6 points makes it difficult for Indonesia when they have to face Vietnam and the Philippines in the remaining 2 matches. Coach Shin Tae-yong expressed his disappointment: "It is regrettable that fans have to witness an unexpected result. I take full responsibility for this result of Indonesia at the AFF Cup 2024. I feel guilty and apologize to the Indonesian football fans who came to the stadium but we could not win."
Coach Shin Tae-yong is not satisfied when Indonesia only has 1 point.
The Korean coach also criticized the Indonesian players: “Both the Indonesian and Lao teams played effectively. During the break, I had to constantly remind the players. However, the Indonesian players still made serious mistakes in passing the ball, which was the main reason for all the goals conceded. Worse, the Indonesian team had to end the match with only 1 point.”
Notably, in the draw between Indonesia and Laos, Marselino Ferdinan was sent off in the 69th minute. This is considered a big loss for the Indonesian team because Marselino Ferdinan plays an important role in coach Shin Tae-yong's squad.
When asked about a solution to replace Marselino Ferdinan, coach Shin Tae-yong suddenly "called for help" from the media. He said: "Without Marselino Ferdinan, Ivar Jenner is the best solution. We want to call Ivar Jenner immediately and the Indonesian Football Association is still trying to convince his club. At the same time, I also want to ask for help from journalists in this matter. I hope you will write articles so that Jenner can join the Indonesian team."

After the match with Laos, the Indonesian team will rush to Vietnam to prepare for the next match. In the final part of his speech, coach Shin Tae-yong unexpectedly criticized the Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) and announced that he would send a letter of complaint about the tournament's schedule.
He shared: “The AFF Cup 2024 schedule is too tight. Each match is only 3 days apart, which is no different from making the players suffer. In my opinion, the teams should have at least 4 days off. In fact, after the match with Myanmar ended, we had to transit from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to Jakarta, which took 16 hours to travel. Today is the same. After this match ends, tomorrow we have to travel to Vietnam. Therefore, I want to complain to the AFF. They also have to think about the break time between matches so that the teams can deliver the best performance.”
