10.27 @ Persatu(0-1-1). Our hosts are slight 6-4 favorites, and this match features the only two sides who have yet to score through their first pair of matches in league play. We have Sutanto back, and the youngster will start at AMC. Ironically, this expected borefest is the first of three televised matches we have for the year.

2' -- We got a good opportunity with, of all people, Sefia(backup GK) setting up one of the amateurs for an open angled shot, but it was blocked out for a corner. After bouncing around, the ball came to Sutanto just outside the box, he went for the far angle and hit the post. A couple decent chances right away, but we get nothing from them.

HT -- We're up in shots 8-2 but no good chances really for either
side.

67' -- Near disaster as Ferminus mishandles a floating off-target cross, and has to leap a second time to tip it over the bar for a corner. That one nearly got away from him for a fluke goal.

68' -- Sutanto sets up Setia who hits the side of the net only. A good example of the kind of rush that would likely end up with a score if we had Yogi et. al. out there, but our makeshift lineup just doesn't have the skills to consistently produce good opportunities or convert them when they present themselves.

79' -- With Persatu stepping up the pressure the last several minutes and our rushes producing nothing remotely hopeful on the other end, I switch to a defensive posture in order to not give up anything cheap at the finish here. I'll take a point on the road under the circumstances.

81' -- A blast from about 17 yards out hits the crossbar, our best look at their goal in over an hour.

89' -- Sutanto sets up an open header, less than 10 yards out in front -- it's weakly directed well wide left. *grumblegrumble*

FT -- It stays scoreless to the end, despite a 21-6 edge in shots. It's clear to see why Persatu hasn't scored yet, their attackers aren't much better than our scrubs. Sutiono is named man of the match for his work in defense.

It was also Sutanto's professional debut today.
