During the game, Baggott, a defender for Town, played his 24th complete match for Indonesia. Although they qualified for the second stage as one of the top third-placed teams, Baggott scored an own goal in the 12th minute, deflecting Jackson Irvine’s shot past his own goalkeeper. Despite leaving Burgess on the bench, Australia scored three more goals, including two in the final minutes, securing their place in the quarter-finals. The Socceroos will face the winner of the round-of-16 match between Saudi Arabia and South Korea on Friday at the Al-Janoub Stadium in Al-Wakrah. Baggott, who helped Indonesia reach the knockout stage for the first time, will now return to Portman Road. Manager Kieran McKenna is considering sending the 21-year-old out on loan before the transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday.
