South Korean soccer collapsed to Indonesia, which replaced coach Shin Tae-yong 'Beamana'. South Korea's under-17 national team suffered a shock 0-1 defeat against Indonesia on the 5th (Korea time), allowing Evandra Florasta to score the winning goal in the second half of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup Group C match against Indonesia at Prince Abdullah Alfaisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
This is the first time the U-17 team has lost to Indonesia. In the case of A national team, its opponent against Indonesia is 30 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, but the last time it lost was in 1975, half a century ago. In the case of the U-17 national team, it was undefeated with two wins and one draw, three times before the match.
The U-17 national team, led by head coach Baek Ki-tae, attempted as many as 21 shots, but only three effective shots. Indonesia scored five shots (two effective shots) and defeated Korean soccer.
In the tournament, in which 16 countries participated, four teams will be divided into four groups, and eight teams ranked first and second in each group will compete for the championship in a tournament. Korea, which won the 1986 (Qatar) and 2002 (UAE), is aiming to win the title for the first time in 23 years.
South Korea, Indonesia, Yemen, and Afghanistan are in Group C. South Korea started third in the group after Indonesia, with Yemen beating Afghanistan 2-0. On the other hand, Japan in Group B defeated the United Arab Emirates 4-1. Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia in Group A also beat Thailand and China 4-1 and 2-1, respectively, to win the war.

It was a difficult battle. Coach Baek pulled out a 4-3-3 card. With Jung Hee-jung (Treasure Island South Sea), Kim Ji-hyuk (Seongnam) and Oh Ha-ram (Jeonnam), Kim Ye-gun (Jeonbuk), Park Byung-chan (Daejeon), and Jin Gun-young (Ansan) in the midfield. While Kim Min-chan (Ulsan), Soyoon-woo (Asan, Chungnam), Hyun Ji-bin and Lim Ye-chan (Iceon) built four backs, Park Do-hoon (Daegu) defended the goal.
South Korea swallowed the disappointment in the 12th minute of the first half when Kim Ye-gun's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area hit the crossbar. Indonesia also had a decisive opportunity to score in the 14th minute of the first half, but goalkeeper Park Do-hoon, who faced one-on-one, came out quickly and blocked the shot.
South Korea continued its wave of attacks. However, Park Byung-chan's shots in the 16th minute of the first half and Kim Ji-hyuk's shots in the 20th minute of the first half did not lead to goals. At the end of the first half, Koo Hyun-bin's header hit the post, but it was already declared offside.
In the second half, the trend was not much different. Coach Baek aimed to turn the mood around with a replacement card. In the 15th minute of the second half, Ryu Hye-sung (Ulsan) and Jang Woo-sik (Bucheon) were deployed instead of Lim Ye-chan and Oh Ha-ram, and five minutes later, Jeong Hyeon-woong (Seoul) and Kim Ji-sung (Suwon) were dispatched without Jung Hee-jung and Kim Ji-hyuk.
South Korea missed another scoring chance in the 25th minute of the second half. Kim Ji-sung's cross from the left side of the penalty area hit the crossbar and fell to the right side of the goal, and Jang Woo-sik continued with a right non-stop shot, but he shook the side net.
The joys and sorrows were mixed in extra time in the second half. In the process of blocking the opponent's shot, Soyoon-woo committed a handball foul and a penalty was declared.
Park Do-hoon blocked Florasta's left-footed shot as a kicker in the 47th minute of the second half. However, Florista pushed the ball back with his right foot to score the winning goal.
South Korea will play the second game against Afghanistan at the King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium at 2:15 a.m. on the 8th.
