He confirmed that his association had filed a protest with F.I.F.A. over the second-leg match in Auckland last Saturday, in which New Zealand beat Indonesia, 5-0, and two Indonesian players were sent off. Indonesia, which lost the first leg, 0-2, in Jakarta earlier this month, objected
to the linesmen coming from Australia, which is compete ing in the same zone. '' The Indonesian Federation maintains the referee as weijj as linesmen should be from ; neutral countries. The referee, Graca Oliva",l who sent off the Indonesian; team captain, Ronny Pattinasarany, and Bambang: Nurdiansyah during the ! Auckland game, was from Portugal. Indonesia, which plays Fiji at Suva, on May 31, has still to win a match in the competition having also lost the first leg of the tie against Australia.
