After defeating Oman, Herdman asks the Indonesian national football team to shift their focus ahead of facing Mozambique.

The 3-0 victory over Oman on this FIFA Match Day at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK Main Stadium) in Jakarta on Friday night marks a major milestone for Indonesia National Football Team. However for head coach John Herdman, this historic result is no reason for complacency.

This win by Garuda Squad ended a 38-year long wait without a victory against Oman.

Herdman has reminded his squad to immediately shift their focus to the next challenge ahead.

"We have to stay humble. Just like Emil (Audero) said, tomorrow we need to put this win behind us and focus entirely on the next match," Herdman stated during the post-match press conference at GBK Stadium on Friday.

This statement from the English coach reflects the mentality he is working to instill within the Garuda Squad. Amid the euphoria of the win, he wants all players to remain disciplined and focused.

Indonesia's next fixture will be against Mozambique at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Tuesday, 9 June at 20:00 WIB. This match carries importance as it will help Indonesia improve their position in the FIFA Rankings.

For Herdman, while the victory over Oman delivered plenty of positive takeaways, there are still multiple aspects of the team's performance that require improvement.

He assessed that his side showed significant progress compared to their previous outing, when they fell 0-1 to Bulgaria back in March.

Indonesia played with far better organisation against Oman. The Garuda Squad controlled the match tempo, created scoring chances, and maintained solid defensive discipline throughout the game.

One of the match's critical moments came when Emil Audero saved Oman's penalty kick.

According to Herdman, that save preserved Indonesia's momentum and allowed the team to secure this convincing winning scoreline.

Even with his satisfaction over the final result, Herdman is demanding his squad continue to raise the quality of their performance from one match to the next.

The massive home support inside GBK Stadium acted as extra fuel for Indonesia against Oman. The stadium atmosphere helped the players carry confidence for the full duration of the match.

"We will keep growing, keep working hard, and we hope all the supporters will come out again to back us for our game this coming Tuesday. We hope even more of you will be there," he added.

Nevertheless, Herdman's core priority remains on improving the team's on-pitch performance. He stressed that this big win must not overshadow the weaknesses that were still visible during the match.

"We saw a lot of good things, but we also identified areas that we need to fix," he concluded.
