Playing in front of a packed Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Indonesia started aggressively and found themselves ahead in the 17th minute.

Kafiatur delivered a low inswinging corner kick that was met by Jens Raven, who could not miss from close range and it proved to be the deciding goal in the final.

Earlier, Australia and Malaysia played out a draw in normal time after an own goal by Jake Nadjovski cancelled out Marcus James Younis’ opener.

Malaysia, the 2022 champions, could not match the Young Socceroos in the penalty shootout as they put away all five of their spot-kicks.
