League Play-Off

Bukitkubu
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Aan Fachrurozi started the match with the kick off. Yonas Pangkali's late challenge caught a PSI Bukitkubu's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Yonas Pangkali helped the player get up and apologised. In the 8th minute, Yonas Pangkali hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kosin Danurwindo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Larantaka FC's zone, Aan Fachrurozi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah came out of the goal and Aan Fachrurozi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 15th minute, Fuad Wattimury got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Aan Fachrurozi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah having to interfere. Cokro Mandias hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. PSI Bukitkubu's Eman Pritama played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hamdani Sadikin in the 23rd minute of play. If Aan Fachrurozi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Fuad Wattimury managed to get in a good position for a shot. Larantaka FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Fuad Wattimury was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eman Pritama breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Hamdani Sadikin came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Larantaka 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 Hamdani Sadikin couldn't finish the play. Fuad Wattimury fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eman Pritama having to interfere. Eman Pritama took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fuad Wattimury, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

After 55 played minutes Larantaka FC got a freekick which was hit by Dwi Hardianto. After a defensive mix-up in Larantaka FC's zone, Buyung Handoyo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah came out of the goal and Buyung Handoyo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 58 minutes into the match, Larantaka FC's goal looked a bit too open when Aan Fachrurozi came free, but M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. M. Ramdhan Satriawansyah showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aan Fachrurozi, who was totally free with the ball in the 65th minute.

After having played for 77 minutes, Kosin Danurwindo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. PSI Bukitkubu's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kosin Danurwindo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Eman Pritama took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fuad Wattimury, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Aan Fachrurozi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 92 minutes into the game, PSI Bukitkubu's Kosin Danurwindo nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. M.
