League Play-Off

Cikijing
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After 3 minutes, Dewa Sinuhaji mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cikijing FC and the Railuli players grew even worse after the yellow card. Dewa Sinuhaji hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. When Bongky Putiray came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Railuli 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 Bongky Putiray couldn't finish the play. Joshua Oktavianus's late challenge caught a Railuli's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Joshua Oktavianus helped the player get up and apologised. In the 7th minute there was a penalty for Railuli. Andre Haryanto stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Tiar Barus. 0-1. In the 11th minute, Bongky Putiray made a precise shot to the right of Tiar Barus. Cikijing FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. Tiar Barus showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bongky Putiray, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bongky Putiray in the 15th minute of play forced Cikijing FC's goalkeeper Tiar Barus to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Kompos Putiray's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tiar Barus was relentless in the 17th minute of the game. Bongky Putiray struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Tiar Barus didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Railuli. If Kompos Putiray had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kompos Putiray sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Kompos Putiray had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Railuli booed when Cikijing FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Henry Sinulingga didn't get a good kick on the ball. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kompos Putiray to make the kick off. Tiar Barus took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kompos Putiray, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tiar Barus showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kompos Putiray, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. After 55 played minutes Cikijing FC got a freekick which was hit by Henry Sinulingga. 58 minutes into the match, Railuli's Kompos Putiray sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tiar Barus narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Cikijing FC's Dewa Sinuhaji got a free kick in the 71st minute. 74 minutes into the match, Railuli's goal looked a bit too open when Ferry Sarwanto came free, but Darius Dewa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Boy Perangin-angin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Darius Dewa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The attack was good, but when Ferry Sarwanto in the 77th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Tiar Barus took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Darius Hans, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Taufik Alexander hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. Railuli's Kompos Putiray got a good chance for a goal in the 95th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Railuli played a much better game than Cikijing FC and deserved their victory. The Cikijing FC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
