4.5 @ Penajam(10-2-8, 3rd) Well, we get to play the role of spoiler once again. Penajam are prohibitive 1-6 favorites, having won five of their last six First Division matches which makes them the hottest team in Group D. They are now just one point back of Persinab for the final Second Phase spot. On the other hand, our first meeting was our biggest win of the year, a 4-1 shellacking.
4' -- A nice move by Ewangin gets him clear enough for a shot against two defenders, but they blocked off most of the angle and an easy save for Tigor.
8' -- A lob freekick by Adie is off the top of the bar.
17' -- Yogi's in for an angled shot, probably should have waited a bit, and blasts it well high.
Still, while they've been good in the air we are controlling the action well on the road against a hot club. I like what I'm seeing.
27' -- A high cross to the far post by Urwan, Adie is there but Tigor gets a hand in. Patay gets literally the first decent shot at a header off a corner that we've had all year, they head it off the line, Urwan heads it back towards goal, but it's just wide. A couple almosts there which unfortunately still add up to zero.
34' -- Bit of a chaotic play. They're looking for Tangon angling in from the right, Kasipmabin tackles the ball away, but it squirts right to Tuharea who puts it past Ferminus for the score! Patay should have tried harder to get to that, instead of campaigning for a foul call. 0-1
Shortly afterwards, Yarangga picks up a frustration yellow.
39' -- Al Hadad is free on the left angle, but misses a chip wide.
45' -- Ewangin leads Uropmabin in from the right side, and he shows excellent patience to dribble in a bit closer, then a well-placed ball inside the left post for the score! We're tied up at 1-1 just before the half!!
HT -- We're back even and have looked the better squad, hopefully that will show through in the second half.
A lot of good up-and-down action both ways as you can't fault the effort on either side, but only poor chances result and nothing close to scoring. It did appear that the momentum had turned after a few minutes, and we were the ones under pressure more often now, trying to preserve the tie.
71' -- No shots for over ten minutes now, and Patay is called for a trip on Tuharea, giving them a freekick about 30y or a bit closer. The shot's saved by Ferminus ... but a penalty foul is called on Yarangga! We protest to no avail. Ferdiansyah goes left and Ferminus guessed right, and we're down 1-2.
77' -- They get another freekick, this one's saved as well.
80' -- Fresh legs in for the final push.
86' -- Yarangga's second yellow and he's sent off.
91' -- Fabulous pass Adie to Sutanto, he's got an angle ... tipped high by Tigor. Almost another injury-time goal for the youngster. We get a corner now ... and then a second ... too close and Tigor has it.
FT -- We lose 1-2 despite a good effort. We are now 11th after Persatu falls to Persibas 3-1, and have Yarangga suspended for a visit by our mighty group leaders in the finale.
