Indonesia's pre-Olympics 2012 national football team romped an easy 4-1 win over host Hong Kong U-23S during a try-out match at Pho Kong Village Park in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
Striker Yongki Aribowo scored the first goal in the 25th minute.
The red-and-white team maintained its pressure on the hosts' scrappy defense to create an own goal in the 30th minute.
In the second half, the visiting team scored two more goals at the 67th minute and 80th minute from Titus Bonai and Aris Alfiansyah respectively.
Hong Kong narrowed the gap by scoring a goal in the 86th minute.
Indonesian coach Alfred Riedl said he was satisfied with the performance.
“We've seen better teamwork. We only need to solve nagging problems such as physical conditions of our footballers and injuries,” said Riedl as quoted on the Indonesian Football Association's official website.
The pre-olympics national team was established on Jan. 24.
