Indonesia defeats Singapore 2-0 in FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 opener

Indonesia opened their FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 campaign with a 2-0 victory over Singapore at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Ragnar Oratmangoen scored in the 13th minute following an assist from debutant Luke Vickery. Ole Romeny secured the win with a penalty in the 74th minute after Singapore's Safuwan Baharudin received a red card following a VAR review.

The victory, led by coach John Herdman, places Indonesia in second place in Group A Division 1, alongside leaders Malaysia. The match was notable for Indonesia's lineup, which featured an all-diaspora starting eleven, marking a significant shift in the squad's composition.

Following the match, players like Ole Romeny emphasized the strong team chemistry and hard work that drove the performance. Indonesia is now preparing for a high-stakes second Group A match against rivals Malaysia on September 28, 2026.
