The people of Indonesia had to swallow the pill of disappointment in the match between Indonesia and Iraq at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Thursday (6/6) afternoon. Iraq managed to take the lead through a penalty with a final score of 2-0 . Thanks to this superior result, Timas is stuck in second place with 7 points.
Even though they lost in the fifth match in Group F of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Asia Zone, last afternoon's match was enough to make the audience feel nervous. Likewise, Ashanty and Anang Hermansyah were present and witnessed this match.
Apparently, Ashanty's presence was to accompany her son, Arsya, who was chosen to be one of the companions for Garuda's match team against Iraq. As a mother, Ashanty certainly feels proud. Not wanting to waste this opportunity, Ashanty immortalized the moment on her Instagram page.
It is known from Ashanty's upload that Arsya was apparently Nathan Tjoe-A-on's companion in Indonesia's match against Iraq. When entering the field, Arsya, who was holding Nathan, was seen waving to the spectators who were present to watch Indonesia's match against Iraq at GBK.
