26' - Indonesia want penalty, not given
Somehow, the goal is not yet there! Argentina are banging on the doors, but Indonesia's home crowd seem to have managed to put up an invisible wall in goal with their chants. Lo Celso and Alvarez with some brilliant chances. Medina then gets a super shot on goal which is blocked.
In the 25th minute, Indonesia attack! Martinez finally wakes up from his slumber. But the Indonesian forward goes down under Romero's attention. Penalty shouts, to no avail.

A brilliant one-two between Alvarez and Lo Celso splits open the Indonesian defence, but there's a last tackle which puts the ball behind for a corner.
A few minutes later, Lo Celso is at it again, brings out a diving save from the Indonesian keeper with a low driven shot. Still 0-0.
