Painis
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 4th minute, Rabun Sinulingga fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Nasum Darwis, passed just outside the right post. In the 5th minute Dewa Ketaren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nasum Darwis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Firdaus Sinulingga's late challenge caught a Painis's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Firdaus Sinulingga helped the player get up and apologised. Firdaus Sinulingga kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. The supporters of Painis booed when Poeoesoele was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hastomo Panjaitan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Adith Bangun took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 20th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Nasum Darwis. Poeoesoele's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 22 minutes into the match, Painis's goal looked a bit too open when Firdaus Sinulingga came free, but Fery Romatua reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Poeoesoele's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Dewa Ketaren 24 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0. 28 minutes into the match, Bento Aswin notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Painis's Fery Romatua. Fery Romatua was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Firdaus Sinulingga's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Fery Romatua was relentless in the 33rd minute of the game. Nasum Darwis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dewa Ketaren, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fery Romatua came out of the goal in the 38th minute to try and stop a shot by Poeoesoele's Firdaus Sinulingga. But to his dismay, Firdaus Sinulingga quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Bento Aswin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Bento Aswin spun around in front of the goal 45 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Painis's goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The wind increased when Dewa Ketaren made the kick off in the second half. Rabun Sinulingga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Nasum Darwis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 59 minutes into the match, Poeoesoele's Bento Aswin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Fery Romatua narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 61 minutes of play, Poeoesoele's Bento Aswin made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Fery Romatua was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Rabun Sinulingga came up free with the goalie in the 68th minute, the Painis 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 Rabun Sinulingga couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Firdaus Sinulingga in the 80th minute of play forced Painis's goalkeeper Fery Romatua to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 82nd minute, Rabun Sinulingga made a precise shot to the right of Nasum Darwis. Poeoesoele's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. After a rather tough play, Painis's Uum Sipayung got a free kick in the 85th minute. After having played for 89 minutes, Firdaus Sinulingga managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Poeoesoele's supporters crossed their fingers, but Firdaus Sinulingga was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rio Dewa's late challenge caught a Poeoesoele's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rio Dewa helped the player get up and apologised. Rio Dewa hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. Firdaus Sinulingga sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Poeoesoele supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Poeoesoele would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
