In the expectation of countless fans, the 1/4 finals of the U23 Asian Cup officially started, and the South Korean team, the favorite to win the championship, ushered in the big dark horse Indonesia team. However, no one expected that this seemingly disparity in strength would be the biggest upset of this Asian Cup, and the South Korean team unexpectedly overturned, and the dream of participating in the Olympic Games for the tenth consecutive time was completely in vain!

As one of the favourites to win the tournament, South Korea performed quite well in the group stage, beating the United Arab Emirates, China and Japan to reach the top 8 with their heads held high. And their first opponent in the knockout round is the "dark horse" Indonesian team that upset and advanced. In the latest FIFA rankings, the Indonesian men's football team is only ranked 134th, which can be said to be an out-and-out "Asian fish belly", but it is this recognized weak team that has played incredible results in this U23 Asian Cup!

Although in the first round of the group stage, the Indonesian team lost 0-2 to the host Qatar team after being sent off by two people, and unfortunately suffered a bad start. But then in the face of the Australian team and the Jordan team, the Indonesian team won two consecutive victories, and finally beat the Australian team with 6 points, won the second place in this group, and the team participated in the U23 Asian Cup for the first time in history, and successfully reached the quarterfinals!

Just 15 minutes into the game, the deadlock on the field was broken, and it was the big dark horse Indonesia team that scored the goal. Strujk hit a wonderful world wave outside the penalty area, the ball hung straight into the corner of the goal into the net, 1-0! Indonesia team took the lead! The South Korean team that was behind the score then began to launch a counterattack, in the 45th minute, Yan Zhicheng sent a cross from the side, and the South Korean player who followed up in the penalty area jumped high to head the goal, and the ball hit the Indonesian midfielder Tegu and rebounded into the goal, and the South Korean team was lucky to equalize the score!

However, before the end of the half, the Indonesian team played a sharp counterattack, Jenner's long pass in the back field directly found the back of the Struik, who faced the goalkeeper with a light push and scored, 2-1! The Indonesian team once again exceeded the score!

Perhaps it was the big battle in regulation time that had exhausted both teams, and neither team could score in extra time. In the end, through 12 rounds of long penalty shootouts, the South Korean team lost to the Indonesian team with an aggregate score of 12-13, unfortunately stopped in the top 8, and the dream of entering the Olympic Games for the tenth consecutive time was shattered!

Indonesia, who upset the semi-finals, will be able to secure a ticket to the Olympics if they win the semi-finals. Even if they lose, if Indonesia can win in the third and fourth place finals, they can still go straight to Paris. In the future of Asia, I believe that no team will dare to despise this dark horse from Southeast Asia anymore!
