, Mathew Baker, said Garuda Nusantara deserves victory over Tajikistan U-17 in the first match

At the North Sumatra Main Stadium, Deli Serdang, Tuesday (12/8).
“Obviously, we do not get the results we want, which I personally think we deserve to get [victory],” Baker was quoted as saying by our Garuda, Wednesday (8/13).
The Indonesian U-17 national team had won twice through Mochammad Mierza Firjatullah’s goal in the 35th minute and Faldy Alberto Hengga in the 50th minute over Tajikistan U-17.However, the visitors twice equalized through Zarifzoda Zarif in the 36th minute and Nazrullo in the 90th minute.
Despite failing to win in the first match of the 2025 Independence Cup, Baker still considers the match against Tajikistan U-17 is very positive for the Indonesian U-17 national team.
“But in my opinion, this is a very solid opening match. Our focus is certainly leading to the World Cup. We have built a good foundation, and now we have points that we can improve,” said the Indonesian-Australian bloody player.
Furthermore, the Indonesian U-17 national team will face a heavier opponent, namely Uzbekistan and Mali.Baker hopes that the Garuda Nusantara team can get valuable lessons before appearing at the U-17 World Cup 2025.
“We will face many good matches against quality opponents, and that is important, because the World Cup group will be very challenging.”
“I am happy with today’s game, happy with how the players fight, and we will try again to achieve better results in the next two matches,” Baker added.
The Indonesian U-17 national team is in a group with Zambia, Brazil and Honduras at the 2025 U-17 World Cup which will take place in Qatar, next November.
Furthermore, Indonesia will fight Uzbekistan in the second match of the 2025 Independence Cup, Friday (8/15).
