Bangladesh suffer 9-2 drubbing against Indonesia
Bangladesh ended their FIFA ASEAN Cup campaign on a disappointing note, suffering a heavy 9-2 defeat to hosts Indonesia in their final Group A match at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Indonesia today (Thursday).
Indonesia dominated the match from the outset and secured a commanding victory, finishing the group stage with seven points from three matches. Bangladesh ended their campaign without a point.
Le Baker opened the scoring in the 11th minute, converting a pass from Ole Romeny before doubling the lead nine minutes later following a goalmouth scramble.
Rizky Ridho then set up Indonesia's third goal in the 32nd minute.
Bangladesh pulled one back in the 36th minute when Shahriar Emon headed home from close range off Shuki's cross.
However, Le Baker restored Indonesia's three-goal cushion just a minute later by completing his hat-trick.
He added his fourth in the 42nd minute before Justin Hubner headed home Indonesia's sixth in first-half stoppage time.
Indonesia continued their dominance after the break, with Luke Vickery making it 7-1 in the 90th minute.
Bangladesh reduced the deficit again a minute later as substitute Farhaan Ali scored their second goal.
Kevin Diks restored Indonesia's seven-goal advantage by making it 8-2 in the sixth minute of stoppage time, while Le Baker completed his five-goal haul and Indonesia's 9-2 victory in the seventh minute of added time.
Bangladesh had already been eliminated from the tournament after losing 3-0 to Malaysia in their opening Group A match and 1-0 to Singapore in their second game, reports BSS.
