REASON Indonesian Women’s National Team lost 18-0 to Australia in Group B inaugural matchday 2022 Women’s Asian Cup will be discussed in this article. The coach of the Indonesian Women’s National Team, Rudy Eka Priyambada, said his squad lost the ball too easily.
Competing at the Mumbai Football Arena, India on Friday (21/1/2022) afternoon WIB, Garuda Pertiwi – the nickname of the Indonesian Women’s National Team – immediately conceded nine goals in the first half. In the first half, Chelsea star, Sam Kerr, managed to record four goals.
Meanwhile, in the second round the Indonesian Women’s National Team was again slaughtered. Ade Mustikiana and colleagues conceded nine goals again. As a result, the Indonesian women’s national team fell 18-0.
After the match, Rudy looked very lethargic and regretted the result. However, Rudy said he had studied and corrected all the shortcomings in the match.
“I have to fix it for the next game,” Rudy said in a post-match press conference, Friday (12/21/2022).

The shortcoming that Rudy meant was in terms of ball possession. According to him, his team are still not calm when they have the ball, so the Australian players are very easy to grab the round skin.
