League Play-Off

Ngantru Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hatta Sumampouw kicked off to start the match. Ade Gultom who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 4thth minute tested the skills of Francis Panggabean when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Hatta Sumampouw blasted a shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Francis Panggabean having to make a save. If Ismed Zamzam had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. April Giroth recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 18th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Amien Nyakmad made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from April Giroth in the 20th minute of play. After 24 played minutes Hatta Sumampouw rounded Putra Puncakgaru's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-0. After 29 played minutes Putra Puncakgaru got a freekick which was hit by Firman Makariem. Francis Panggabean showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hatta Sumampouw in the 32nd minute of the match. When Putra Puncakgaru's Ismed Zamzam in the 34th minute got a chance for a shot 34th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye PSM Ngantru's goalie prevented a goal. In the 35th match minute, PSM Ngantru was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bulek Mangkudikusumah to maneuver through the defense. Ade Gultom sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 41 minutes into the match, PSM Ngantru's goal looked a bit too open when Ismed Zamzam came free, but Amien Nyakmad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ade Gultom received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Francis Panggabean tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The referee felt a red card was in order, 55 minutes into the game, when Paijo Krishna put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in PSM Ngantru fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 54th minute. Penalty! After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Bobby Danurwindo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Putra Puncakgaru's supporters rose to their feet, but Bobby Danurwindo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amien Nyakmad breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dede Irawan's late challenge caught a Putra Puncakgaru's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dede Irawan helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to PSM Ngantru getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Dede Irawan hit a great ball. Firman Makariem kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Ade Gultom sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bulek Mangkudikusumah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Nickolous Anhar kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. Ade Gultom sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Bobby Danurwindo fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Putra Puncakgaru's protests and gave Bobby Danurwindo a yellow card for diving instead. Bobby Danurwindo hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. Dede Irawan hit a great freekick 91 minutes into the match. After having played for 92 minutes, Ismed Zamzam managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Putra Puncakgaru's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ismed Zamzam was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Putra Puncakgaru's April Giroth got a free kick in the 96th minute. Ismed Zamzam struck a weak shot in the 99th minute. Amien Nyakmad didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Putra Puncakgaru. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. PSM Ngantru fully deserved thier win.
