TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian national team midfielder, Marselino Ferdinan, is in the spotlight after successfully bringing the Garuda squad to win 2-0 against Saudi Arabia. He scored two goals in the match witnessed by around 55,000 spectators at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, on Tuesday night, November 19, 2024.
