League Play-Off

Garangwangi Stadion
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. Mourent Butar-butar started the match with the kick off. KICKERZ's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Leo Sam Bera in the 11th minute. The corner led KICKERZ's Leo Sam Bera to fire away a dangerous shot which Tintus Sunarya despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Engkus Kumbara received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Tintus Sunarya tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sansan Zulfan hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. Wahyu Item sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in KICKERZ's zone, Mourent Butar-butar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hamdani Apriantara came out of the goal and Mourent Butar-butar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 24th minute the ball was on its way in behind KICKERZ's goalkeeper Hamdani Apriantara, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Marwal Jamaluddin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Tintus Sunarya tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Marwal Jamaluddin got free with Tintus Sunarya in the 28th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Mourent Butar-butar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Wahyu Item came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the Panton 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 Wahyu Item couldn't finish the play. Mourent Butar-butar 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. In the 40th minute the ball was on its way in behind Panton FC's goalkeeper Tintus Sunarya, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After having played for 43 minutes, Engkus Kumbara managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KICKERZ's supporters crossed their fingers, but Engkus Kumbara was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 45th minute, Panton FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Marwal Jamaluddin fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Engkus Kumbara to make the kick off. Hasan Birawa thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Tintus Sunarya, a very annoying self made goal in the 52nd minute which led to 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Engkus Kumbara in the 58th minute of play forced Panton FC's goalkeeper Tintus Sunarya to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Singgih Supriono hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. Marwal Jamaluddin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Farhat Sudirman's late challenge caught a KICKERZ's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Farhat Sudirman helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of KICKERZ booed when Panton FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Farhat Sudirman didn't get a good kick on the ball. Marwal Jamaluddin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Tintus Sunarya tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tintus Sunarya made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Engkus Kumbara in the 73rd minute of play. In the 74th minute Marwal Jamaluddin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tintus Sunarya saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hamdani Apriantara showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mourent Butar-butar, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. Hamdani Apriantara showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mourent Butar-butar in the 78th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, KICKERZ's Harry Sururi got a free kick in the 79th minute. KICKERZ's Hamdani Apriantara played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mourent Butar-butar in the 80th minute of play. If Wahyu Item had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Mourent Butar-butar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Panton FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Mourent Butar-butar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hamdani Apriantara breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Satria Sutarya's late challenge caught a KICKERZ's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Satria Sutarya helped the player get up and apologised. Satria Sutarya hit a great freekick 91 minutes into the match. Marwal Jamaluddin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tintus Sunarya having to interfere. KICKERZ's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
