TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Indonesia enters its second ASEAN Hyundai Cup 2026 (AFF Cup) Group A match against Timor Leste with a perfect record against its Southeast Asian neighbor, having won all six previous meetings.
The two teams will meet on Friday, July 31, at 5 p.m. Western Indonesia Time (WIB) at Chonburi Stadium, Thailand, with Indonesia looking to strengthen its position in the group standings.
Indonesia's Perfect Record Against Timor Leste
Indonesia has dominated every encounter with Timor Leste since their first meeting in 2010.
The first clash between the two sides took place on Nov. 21, 2010, in a friendly match, when the Garuda secured a commanding 6-0 victory.
Since then, Indonesia has maintained its winning streak, collecting six wins from six matches. Across those encounters, Indonesia has scored 21 goals while conceding only two.
Their biggest competitive meeting came in the 2018 AFF Cup, the only tournament match between the two teams so far. Indonesia defeated Timor Leste 3-1 on Nov. 13, 2018.
The most recent meeting occurred on Jan. 30, 2022, when Indonesia, under head coach Shin Tae-yong, won 3-0 through goals from Terens Puhiri, Ramai Rumakiek, and Ricky Kambuaya.
Head-to-Head Record
