Timnas Garuda Pecahkan 38 Tahun Kekalahan vs Oman 3-0

On 05 Juni 2026, Indonesia’s national football team, known as Timnas Garuda, ended a 38‑year winless streak against Oman in a decisive 3‑0 victory at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta.

During the first 27 minutes, Indonesia struck twice. Justin Hubner opened the scoring in the 13th minute, followed by Ole Romeny in the 27th minute, giving the home side a solid advantage before the break.

Oman’s hopes dimmed when they earned a penalty in the 37th minute. Goalkeeper Emil Audero saved the spot‑kick from Nasser Sultan, preserving the lead and keeping the scoreline unchanged.

The second half saw a further goal from Ragnar Oratmangoen in the 56th minute, sealing the win and ensuring the final tally remained 3‑0.

With this result, Indonesia finally broke the long drought of defeats against Oman, the last time the two teams met in 1988. The 1988 match, played during the King’s Cup in Bangkok, also ended 3‑0 in favor of Indonesia.

In the years that followed, Indonesia managed a 2‑0 win over Oman in the 1987 King’s Cup, but then struggled. Oman recorded its first victory over Indonesia in 2007 during a friendly. Subsequent encounters in the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers saw Indonesia fail to win again.

Other meetings included a 0‑0 draw in Muscat in 2009, a 1‑2 loss in Jakarta in 2010, and a 1‑3 defeat in Dubai during a 2021 friendly. After a series of disappointing results, the team finally secured a win under coach John Herdman, improving the overall record against Oman to three victories, one draw, and three defeats.

Indonesia’s triumph not only ends a decades‑long losing streak but also demonstrates the team’s growing consistency in international fixtures, marking a positive shift in the country’s football trajectory.
