Indonesia U-20 tops Group H after 3-0 win over Laos
The Indonesia U-20 national team has moved to the top of Group H in the 2027 AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers following a 3-0 victory over Laos at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane. The match, which was delayed by two hours due to heavy rain, saw Fabio Azkairawan open the scoring in the 5th minute, followed by two goals from Zahaby Gholy in the 40th and 63rd minutes.
With this win, Indonesia has collected four points from two matches, placing them ahead of Australia on goal difference (+3 compared to +2). Indonesia's previous match resulted in a 0-0 draw against Malaysia. The upcoming final group match against Australia on September 6, 2026, will be decisive for securing automatic qualification to the tournament finals in China.
Laos, having suffered losses to Australia and Indonesia, has been eliminated from the competition.
