Indonesia drew first blood when an unmarked Agung Teguh capitalised on a defensive lapse and pounced on a misplaced pass from Afghanistan goalkeeper Omid Haidari to send the ball rolling into the Afghanistan net.

The lead was shortlived, as Afghanistan's Omid Homauni met Mohammad Bahaduri’s overhead cross with a precise header, beating Indonesia goalkeeper Pratama just seconds later.

Indonesia restored their advantage in the final second of the first period, as Teguh converted a free-kick to notch his second goal of the afternoon.

Afghanistan responded in the sixth minute after the break, as defender Mohammad Haidari flawlessly controlled Hidayatullah Qureshi’s throw-in before heading the ball into the bottom left corner of the Indonesia goal.

Indonesia went ahead once again moments later as Demon Pradik free-kick from the centre of the pitch bounced once before sailing above Haidari's outstretched fingers.

Reza Iqbal Hakiki almost widened the gap for Indonesia in the final minute of the second period but found his bicycle kick expertly blocked by Afghanistan's Haidari.

It was Triwahono who got on the scoresheet next, receiving a long-range throw from Pratama and nodding it past the Afghan keeper to give Ida Mahasaya's side their fourth goal in the 25th minute.

Afghanistan tried to find their way back into the game with Bahaduri's goal in the 20th minute, which was quickly countered by Indonesia's No. 6 Gede Sentanu.

The Meysam Ashtiyani-led side closed in further when Houmani scored the fourth goal for the Central Asians, but the gap was once again widened when Indonesia's Teguh completed his hat-trick with three minutes left on the clock.
