With a relentless high determination, the Red and White team finally added to their goal coffers in the 80th minute. This time it was contributed by Elkan Baggott who fired hard from outside the penalty box.
A minute later, Indonesia further devastated Nepal because it scored the sixth goal from Witan Sulaeman's feet. Score 6-0 decorated the scoreboard for a while.
Apparently, the pouring of half a dozen goals was not enough for the Indonesian national team. Shin Tae-yong's troops added one more goal in the 90 + 1 minute through the feet of Marselino Ferdinand.

This is also the first time Indonesia has qualified for the Asian Cup after a 15-year absence. The last Garuda squad appeared in the Asian Cup in 2007 when it acted as host.
