Indonesia managed to achieve a spectacular victory with a score of 9-2 over Bangladesh at the Gelora Bung Karno stadium, Jakarta, in the final match of the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup group phase. This victory not only took Indonesia to the final, but also ensured the top position in Group A after competing closely with Malaysia.
This match was very dramatic, where Indonesia scored six goals in the first half and led with a score of 7-1 entering extra time. However, Indonesia had to wait until the last minute to fully celebrate their victory. Mitchell Lee Baker's closing goal in the 90+7 minute ensured Indonesia achieved a much-needed victory after Malaysia also achieved a landslide 6-0 victory over Singapore at the same time.
With these results, Indonesia and Malaysia both ended the group phase with seven points and a goal difference of +9.

Bangladesh's defeat was predictable from the start, even though they scored a goal in return. Farhaan Ali Wahid successfully reduced the deficit to 2-7 after a goal from Luke Vickery in the 90th minute. However, this goal actually put Indonesia under pressure when Malaysia scored their sixth goal through Bergson in added time. At that time, Indonesia only had a goal difference of +7, meaning they needed to score two more goals to ensure a place in the final.
Worry about results not meeting expectations increases tension. However, Kevin Diks managed to score Indonesia's eighth goal in the 90+6 minute, and the situation became even more tense when Ole Romeny provided an assist for Baker's ninth goal just one minute later. The 9-2 victory ensured Indonesia secured a place at the top of the standings, and the Gelora Bung Karno stadium roared to celebrate the team's success.
This match was a historic moment for Indonesia, where the team coached by coach John Herdman showed an extraordinary performance. Baker appeared as a star in this match, scoring five goals and making an important contribution in attack.
