India U23 vs Indonesia U23 Highlights: Follow international friendly Replay

The Indian U23 football team continues to show sparks of brilliance after the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. The Blue Colts started their two-match friendly tour of Indonesia with a comprehensive victory on October 10. The two teams will meet again on Monday in the second friendly affair.

These games are stepping stones for Naushad Moosa’s team on their path to progress in international football. AIFF, in a commendable initiative, decided to provide this team with more international exposure after their impressive show in the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. The Blue Colts would want to cash in and replicate their first match heroics again on Monday.

The Stakes

India U23

For India, this will be another opportunity to show their skills on the international stage. The Blue Colts would be desperate to continue the momentum that they have had since the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. Another incentive for these young guns would be the senior national team call-up.

With a new management at the helm of the senior national team, the window is open for anyone who impresses Khalid Jamil. Recently, the likes of Pramveer and Macarton Louis Nickson, who were among the best performers for India in the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers, were included in the senior national team.

The game against Indonesia will be an opportunity for other players to make their presence felt as the November FIFA International Window approaches. India will continue their campaign in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers next month, and these boys would want to be a part of that squad.

Indonesia U23

Indonesia also met a similar fate in the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. Like India, they finished second in their group, missing out on the qualification for the AFC U23 Asian Cup. The misery continued for the Indonesian fans as their team got run over by India in the first friendly affair on Friday.

Indonesia would look to build upon the positives from the second half of the first game. In the second half, they showed resilience and will to make a comeback, pushing the Blue Colts to play at their defensive best. The game on Monday would be a test of character for the Indonesian team. It will be interesting to see if they can put the loss behind them and move on to the second friendly with the same vigour.
