It was a game full of Spurs connections for the World Cup winners.
Romero lined up alongside Giovani Lo Celso, who spent last season on loan at Villarreal from Tottenham.
He’s been linked with a permanent move away from North London even though new manager Ange Postecoglou hasn’t had a chance to assess the midfielder himself.
In goal, Emi Martinez kept another international clean sheet.
He’s been linked with a move to Spurs this summer as they look to replace Hugo Lloris.
The French goalkeeper has admitted he’s likely to leave in the coming months and could go on a free transfer.

They could end up linking up a lot more regularly depending on the business Spurs do this summer.

Posting on Instagram after the match, Romero said: “Ending this tour in the best way @afaseleccion. Thank you, Indonesia for everything.”
Emi Martinez replied and simply said: “I love you,” while serial social media commenter Sergio Reguilon added: “Scorer.”
Martinez was signed by Aston Villa for £17m, but the likelihood is he’s worth a lot more than that now.
Tottenham’s number one target to replace Lloris appears to be Brentford star, David Raya.
