Indonesia deserve the lead as they had a proper approach in the second half, while Saudi Arabia will have much to improve after the break.
Another great play from Indonesia as Sandy Walsh made a pinpoint pass for Calvin Verdonk to volley it to the side net.
Hassan Al-Tambakti got a yellow card for stopping a counterattack.
Indonesia still maintain their aggressive and fierce style of play from the past years, but they have taken it to another level and made it better with the use of naturalized players.
Eight minutes are added to the first half.

After three impressive draws with Saudi Arabia, Australia and Bahrain, Indonesia quickly got back on the ground with defeats against China and Japan, dropping to last in group C. On Tuesday, they play Saudi Arabia again. Their opponent just got a new coach after sacking Roberto Mancini last month and are currently third with six points.
Three points in this game will help Indonesia keep their World Cup dream alive, while Saudi Arabia also need to win to maintain their spot in the top four to advance to the fourth qualifying round.
