Based on the results in other groups, if this match ended in a draw, the U.17 Indonesia and Australia teams would advance together. Therefore, in the last 25 minutes of the match, when the score was 0-0, neither team wanted to take any risks. The U.17 Australia team passed the ball back and forth in the middle of the field, not launching attacks up front, and the U.17 Indonesia team did not press high either.
The score of 0-0 was maintained until the end of the match. With this result, the U.17 Australian team won a ticket to the final round as the top team of Group G. The U.17 Indonesian team ranked 3rd in the ranking of the best second-placed teams and will also participate in Saudi Arabia next year.
The Australian U.17 players passed the ball back and forth while the Indonesian U.17 team did not push up in the final minutes of the match.
The fierce plays only happened at the beginning of the match.
After the match, many Indonesian fans congratulated their team on their achievements. Yansdana shared: "Any strategy used that is effective in winning a ticket to the 2025 AFC U-17 Championship without violating FIFA rules is good. Congratulations to the whole team."
Yasmika Baihaqi shared the same opinion: "Congratulations to the whole team and keep your spirits up. If we lose in the last minutes, it will be even more insulting to Indonesian fans. Let's focus on improving ourselves. We still have a lot of time to prepare for the finals next year. The important thing is that we have a ticket to the finals."
Muhammad Rino Setiawan wrote: "Why don't the Indonesian U.17 players want to chase the ball? Because it's very risky. If they expose the gap, get exploited and lose, you will see how terrible Indonesian public opinion is."
There were also many opposing opinions. Rezhawa Jumamichi worried: "This match is not good for the development of young players. Let's take Japan as an example and always fight with all our might, treating every match as a final."
Zidan account was upset: "Many people agree with this style of play because it is beneficial for U.17 Indonesia and consider it the right thing to do. What if other teams use this style of play to eliminate Indonesia? Public opinion will surely be angry. So don't normalize this style of play."
In addition, Mbah Sastro account said that AFC was at fault and harshly criticized: "AFC is stupid to arrange the match schedule like that. All the final matches must be scheduled at the same time to be exciting until the end."
