League Play-Off

Serangdjaja Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Jonathan Yom started the match with the kick off. Demas Kartiwa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jonathan Yom went, in the 6th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. After a defensive mix-up in Serangdjaja FC's zone, Jonathan Yom stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Demas Kartiwa came out of the goal and Jonathan Yom tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 13 played minutes Serangdjaja FC got a freekick which was hit by Tintus Riyadi. Yasin Suparmaji made a fantastic save in the 20th minute, when Nuryono Hutasoit sent off a good shot on target. Ali Kartasasmita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Demas Kartiwa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ali Kartasasmita, who was totally free with the ball in the 24th minute. I Gde Sadikin might have been able to make a better finish in the 28th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Demas Kartiwa. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. I Gde Sadikin ran back to his position shaking his head. Djernih FC's Yasin Suparmaji played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adrian Sahuleka in the 34th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Dudu Rungkat managed to get in a good position for a shot. Serangdjaja FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Dudu Rungkat was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yasin Suparmaji breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Febri Tutuarima fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Serangdjaja FC's protests and gave Febri Tutuarima a yellow card for diving instead. Jonathan Yom hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. In the 47th play minute Nuryono Hutasoit came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Yasin Suparmaji. 1-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Dudu Rungkat was the one to do the kick off. The referee gave Serangdjaja FC a penalty, 56 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Roman Tanzier, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Djernih FC's Yasin Suparmaji. 2-1. Holin Supriadi's late challenge caught a Djernih FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Holin Supriadi helped the player get up and apologised. Holin Supriadi kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. In the 62nd minute, Ali Kartasasmita left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Djernih FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. If Dudu Rungkat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Nuryono Hutasoit came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Serangdjaja 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 Nuryono Hutasoit couldn't finish the play. Jonathan Yom's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Demas Kartiwa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. Yasin Suparmaji showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nuryono Hutasoit in the 76th minute of the match. In the 78th minute, Nuryono Hutasoit ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Yasin Suparmaji was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-2. The supporters of Serangdjaja FC booed when Djernih FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. I Gde Sadikin didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Djernih FC's zone, Dudu Rungkat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yasin Suparmaji came out of the goal and Dudu Rungkat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Yasin Suparmaji made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nuryono Hutasoit in the 89th minute of play. After having played for 93 minutes, Nuryono Hutasoit managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Serangdjaja FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nuryono Hutasoit was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nuryono Hutasoit in the 95th minute of play forced Djernih FC's goalkeeper Yasin Suparmaji to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Serangdjaja FC's Demas Kartiwa got control of the ball when Ali Kartasasmita tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience was convinced that Dudu Rungkat's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yasin Suparmaji was relentless in the 101st minute of the game. Serangdjaja FC's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
