Spasojevic scored his first Aff Cup goal against Brunei, helping him win over the confidence of Indonesian fans who had doubted him after a poor showing in the opening game after Asnawi dribbled past the Brunei defender and set up the goal with a wonderful pass.
In the Aff Cup match against Brunei Darussalam, Spasojevic, a player for Bali United who had been a topic of controversy among Indonesian national team supporters because he was regarded too old for coach Shin's playing system, scored his first goal for the national team.
Spaso (his nickname) not only scored the first goal for the Indonesian national team, but he also assisted on Syahrian Abimanyu's first goal. Can we count on Spasojevic to lead Indonesia to a AFF title this year?
