Watching the match, I thought the Indonesian players were really nervous. Playing at home in front of 100,000 cheering fans can be intimidating. Add on the expectations of the more than 200 millions Indonesians, the weight must have felt extremely heavy on their shoulders. As a result, they crumbled, even missing a penalty. Having said that, take nothing away from the Malaysian players. They were excellent throughout. We can now build on from here and move on to bigger things. Suddenly, qualifying for the World Cup don't look like an impossible dream!
