Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

News related to the defeat Indonesian U-24 national team from Taiwan to Asian Games 2023 has become the most popular sports news in the last 24 hours on CNNIndonesia.com.

Apart from this, the news regarding MotoGP riders being taxed to be able to race in India has also become a sports article highlighted by readers.

Here are the three most popular sports news stories in the last 24 hours on CNNIndonesia.com, summarized in the Top 3 Sports:

1. Asian Games results: Indonesian U-24 national team lost 0-1 to Taiwan

The Indonesian U-24 national team lost 0-1 to Taiwan in the group match of the 2023 FA Asian Games at the East Stadium of Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, Friday (21/9).

Indonesia played below its best against Taiwan. Even the team coached by Indra Sjafri seemed frustrated at having dismantled the Taiwanese defense throughout the match.

Unlike the previous encounter in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers, where Indonesia easily won 9-0, Taiwan looked more threatening at the start of the first half.

The second half lasted three minutes, Indonesia conceded the goal. Garuda Muda’s careless defense allowed Taiwan to successfully score a goal through Chin Wen Yen’s kick after receiving Lin We Chien’s pass.

Behind 0-1, Indonesia accelerated the pace of the match. But Taiwan’s defense line is so narrow that it is difficult to dismantle.

2. Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar lost 0-4 at the Asian Games

A total of three compact teams lost with a score of 0-4 in the second match of the 2023 Asian Games. Two of the teams were Vietnam and Thailand.
Vietnam lost to Iran 0-4 in the second match of Group B at the Linping Sports Center Stadium, Hangzhou, Thursday (21/9).

Furthermore, Thailand was forced to kneel against South Korea. Competing at Jinhua Stadium, Thailand’s goal was broken four times with no response from South Korea.

Another Southeast Asian team that suffered an identical defeat is Myanmar. They could not resist the Chinese onslaught and had to lose 0-4 at the end of the match.

3. Crazy tax on Indian MotoGP, Marquez could get IDR 58.9 billion

Motorcycles are yet to cross the Buddh Circuit during the 2023 Indian MotoGP, but a lot of news has spread about the attention-grabbing event, including high taxes for riders.

It is not without reason that the Indian MotoGP 2023 local committee requested data on rider contracts from two months ago. Indeed, India imposes a tax on runners equivalent to 20.8% of their annual income to be able to race on the Buddh circuit.

So, riders with big names like Marc Marquez could be taxed up to 3.6 million euros (equivalent to IDR 58.9 billion) to participate in the 2023 Indian MotoGP.
