China Suffer More World Cup Heartbreak After Indonesia Loss
- China lost 1-0 to Indonesia in Jakarta on June 5, 2025, ending its hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
- The defeat followed a controversial VAR-awarded penalty converted by Indonesia's Ole Romeny just before halftime, which sealed the outcome.
- China remains at the bottom of Group C with a total of six points accumulated over nine matches and is unable to secure a top-four finish, while Indonesia holds third place with 12 points.
- China's head coach Branko Ivankovic accepted full responsibility for the team's failure, noting that the squad had been striving to achieve this objective for more than two decades but ultimately fell short.
- The result guarantees Indonesia a chance to advance to the next qualifying phase, while China’s elimination suggests a continued struggle to reach a second World Cup since 2002.
