KUALA LUMPUR, MONDAY — A landslide 7-0 win over Brunei Darussalam in the second match of the 2022 AFF Cup Group A preliminary round should not make the Indonesian national team complacent.

The positive result was nothing more than an illusion because the finishing touch of the “Garuda” team was still problematic. Indonesia's defense did not really face a test because Brunei was classified as a team whose level was still below Indonesia.
