League Play-Off

Panasoan
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Dian Tarigan took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, Reynaldo Ginting notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of PSP Sampojniet's Ari Dewa. Ari Dewa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 7th minute, Ari Perangin-angin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The PSP Sampojniet fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. If Ari Perangin-angin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 13th minute Ari Perangin-angin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Firdaus Barus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Panasoan FC's Firdaus Barus played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kitam Mulia in the 14th minute of play. In the 18thth minute of the game Ari Perangin-angin who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Panasoan FC's Firdaus Barus was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Djati Sarwanto could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 24th minute of the match, but Ari Dewa made a huge save. PSP Sampojniet's Femi Simanungkalit suffered a sore thigh after 26 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 26 minutes, Romi Pane mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Panasoan FC and the PSP Sampojniet players grew even worse after the yellow card. Kitam Mulia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Panasoan FC's zone, Ari Perangin-angin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Firdaus Barus came out of the goal and Ari Perangin-angin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 31st match minute, PSP Sampojniet was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Darius Guci to maneuver through the defense. When Dian Tarigan came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Panasoan FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dian Tarigan couldn't finish the play. Dian Tarigan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Ari Dewa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 36th match minute, PSP Sampojniet was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jojo Sitorus to maneuver through the defense. In the 38th match minute, Panasoan FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fery Mainaky to maneuver through the defense. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kitam Mulia stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 51st minute, Dian Tarigan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Panasoan FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Dian Tarigan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ari Dewa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 77 minutes into the match, Kitam Mulia notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Panasoan FC's Firdaus Barus. Firdaus Barus was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Ari Dewa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dian Tarigan in the 92nd minute of the match. Kitam Mulia blasted a shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Firdaus Barus having to make a save.
