Indonesia’s send-off to the AFC Futsal Championship ended with a thud
as it lost 3-0 to Australia in the Asean qualifying final at Gelora
Bung Karno Tennis Indoor Stadium on Thursday.
Tobias Guang Hua Seeto scored twice for the Futsalroos, while Dean
Lockhart added the other goal. Both teams had already secured places in
the finals, which take place May 23-30 in Taskhent, Uzbekistan.
Vietnam claimed the last ticket to Tashkent, beating Malaysia 6-3 in
the third-place match to avenge a 2-2 draw in the group stage. Vietnam
is the defending Asean futsal champion, having won the title when it
hosted the regional championship in June 2009. Its run to the title
included an 11-10 victory over Indonesia in the semifinals.
Australia broke the deadlock in the final when Seeto shot past
goalkeeper Yos Adi Wicaksono to give his side a 1-0 halftime lead. The
visitors then stunned the home fans with a quick strike at the start of
the second half, with Lockhart finding the net from an Adrian Vizarri
feed.
Indonesia suffered a double blow on the play as its goalkeeper left the match injured following a collision with Lockhart.
The host pressed forward in search of a way back into the match, only
for Seeto to wrap up the victory by scoring Australia’s third goal.
Seeto also scored one of Australia’s goals when it defeated Indonesia
4-1 during Group A play on Monday.
Indonesia advanced to the final with a 5-3 defeat of Malaysia on
Wednesday, while Australia knocked off Vietnam 4-1 in the other
semifinal.
