League Play-Off

Mannoan
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Hardy Tarigan started the match with the kick off. After having played for 3 minutes, Hardy Tarigan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Balah's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hardy Tarigan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 4 minutes into the game, Mahadi Dewa was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Mannoan's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Balah the free kick. A collision led to Mannoan getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Mahadi Dewa hit a great ball. The supporters of Balah booed when Mannoan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mahadi Dewa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Yahya Sipayung showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pandapotan Muchtaji, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. Gendo Fitriansyah fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yahya Sipayung having to interfere. Yahya Sipayung showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pandapotan Muchtaji, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. 22 minutes into the match, Mahadi Muchtaji notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Mannoan's Kia Sinuhaji. Kia Sinuhaji was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The supporters of Mannoan booed when Balah was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hardy Tarigan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kia Sinuhaji made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hardy Tarigan in the 26th minute of play. Yahya Sipayung made a fantastic save in the 33rd minute, when Gendo Fitriansyah sent off a good shot on target. 34 minutes into the match, Balah's Eboy Wibowo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Kia Sinuhaji narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Hardy Tarigan struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Kia Sinuhaji didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Balah.

Mannoan's Pandapotan Muchtaji got a good chance for a goal in the 59th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Balah's Yahya Sipayung played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gendo Fitriansyah in the 61st minute of play. If Hardy Tarigan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A hard shot 69 in the game by Mahadi Muchtaji from a close distance when the talented Kia Sinuhaji managed to make a qualified save. Mannoan's players were relieved. Pandapotan Muchtaji took the ball and in the 71 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Yahya Sipayung. Yahya Sipayung dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Mahadi Muchtaji sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 91 played minutes Mannoan got a freekick which was hit by Mahadi Dewa. In the 95th minute Pandapotan Muchtaji shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yahya Sipayung saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Balah were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing Mannoan to leave the ground with a draw.
