On 29 February 2012, the Bahraini and Indonesia national association football teams faced each other in a qualifying match for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The match was played at the Bahrain National Stadium in Riffa, Bahrain. This match is known for the investigation called for by FIFA afterwards.

Before this match Bahrain needed to score nine goals in order to pass Qatar and to move on to the next round in qualifying. They also needed Qatar to lose their next match against Iran but due to an 83rd-minute equalizer the game finished 2–2 and thus Qatar progressed instead of Bahrain.[2]

Background

Prior to the final matchday the table was:

Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
 Iran 5320153+1211
 Qatar 523083+59
 Bahrain 513137−46
 Indonesia 5005316−130

Before the game, Bahrain required a winning margin of nine goals to stand any chance of progressing to the next stage.[3]

Leading up to the game, Indonesia had lost all five matches to date in their qualification group, allowing 16 goals in the process.[2] Internal conflict in the Football Association of Indonesia lead them to prevent all Indonesia Super League players from playing.[4] They only sent players who play in the Indonesian Premier League, although Indonesia's regular, better, and more experienced national players play in the Indonesia Super League. Indonesia was understood to have fielded inexperienced players due to this situation.[5]

Prior to this match, Indonesia's record loss was 9–0, recorded in 1974 at the hands of Denmark.[6]

In the six previous meetings between the two teams, each team had won twice, with two matches having been drawn.[6]

Match summary

Indonesia started the game with an inexperienced side, with no player holding more than 12 international caps.[7] This was also the international debut for eight players in the Indonesia starting line up (except Syamsidar, Irfan Bachdim, and Ferdinand Sinaga).

Indonesia suffered an early setback when their goalkeeper Syamsidar was shown the red card in the first three minutes.[3] After Bahrain scored the resultant penalty, they went on to be awarded a total of four penalties in the match, including three in the first half, although substitute Indonesia goalkeeper Andi Muhammad Guntur managed to save two of the four kicks.[6]
