Penalty corner specialist Amirul Islam put Bangladesh ahead in the 11th minute, maintaining a 1-0 advantage through a goalless second quarter. Amirul doubled the lead in the opening minute of the third quarter before veteran forward Rashel Mahmud Jimmy—returning to the national side after an 18-month absence—scored a field goal in the 37th minute to extend Bangladesh's lead to 3-0. Indonesia pulled one goal back in the 48th minute when Fathur converted a penalty stroke. Having recovered from earlier defeats against South Korea (5-0) and hosts Japan (6-1) with a 5-1 win over Sri Lanka, Bangladesh will face pool leaders India in their final group stage match on September 28.
