Hello reader,

Maarten Paes giveth a penalty for Saudi Arabia, Maarten Paes taketh away the hosts’ chance to get ahead of Indonesia in yesterday’s thrilling encounter.

The 1-1 scoreline was an improbable one, yet Indonesia came out of the World Cup qualifier against the Asian powerhouse with newfound belief — and hope that perhaps Canada/USA/Mexico 2026 isn’t such a distant dream, after all.

What a way to start the weekend for this football-obsessed nation. Scroll almost all the way down for some play-by-play of yesterday’s match and our new goalie’s heroics.

Cheers,

Andra
