Indonesia defeats Mozambique 1-0 at Gelora Bung Karno
Indonesia’s senior national team beat Mozambique 1‑0 on 9 June 2026 at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta. Striker Ole Romeny scored the only goal in the 11th minute after a through pass from Ragnar Oratmangoen, earning Man of the Match honours. The win followed a 3‑0 victory over Oman three days earlier, giving the Garuda back‑to‑back FIFA Matchday wins.
Coach John Herdman praised the team’s momentum, noting the importance of preserving the positive trend ahead of upcoming fixtures. Mozambique coach Chiquinho Conde acknowledged Indonesia’s strength, saying his side had to adopt a more defensive setup. The result lifted Indonesia’s FIFA ranking to 118 worldwide, while Mozambique slipped to 102.
Security forces deployed about 1,200 officers at the stadium, and English media projected a narrow 1‑0 win for Indonesia with a 60 % probability. The match also saw the first‑team inclusion of two newly naturalised players cleared by FIFA.
Overall, the narrow victory highlighted Indonesia’s improving performance on the international stage and set a platform for future qualifiers.
