Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 3444 at
IpaTujuh FC Arena today.
Hendrik Maltzahn was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Tip Steinmeijer and
Edvard Päiväkumpu.
IpaTujuh decided to use a 4-4-2 set up.
The following players took the field: Rizzo - Irwansyah, Wuisan, Tesar, Rozak - Bramantiko, Ichsan, Sulaiman, Daulat - Adinegara, Rahadjo.
porsigal started off with a 4-4-2 lineup.
Lineup: Gufi - Hutomo, Rifat, Gea, Koto - Irfani, Soebiakto, Gultom, Rambing - Farhan, Majid.
Almost all the way down to the corner flag, porsigal's
R. Irfani somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for
K. Farhan, who struck for 0 - 1.
With 18 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,
M. Ichsan needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.
29 minutes in, IpaTujuh's
D. Rahadjo received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first.
After 31 minutes,
Z. Adinegara got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away.
Due to some great work on the right wing IpaTujuh's
M. Rozak was able to even the score after 34 minutes to make the score 1 - 1.
After some beautiful movement down the left wing,
M. Ichsan scored for IpaTujuh putting them ahead 2 - 1, after 35 minutes.
With 36 minutes played,
L. Rambing of porsigal fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving.
The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1.
IpaTujuh claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.
Coming from the right,
I. Tesar almost managed to score another goal for IpaTujuh, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper.
D. Sulaiman could have increased the lead after 65 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park.
72 minutes into the game porsigal's
J. Rifat found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2.
IpaTujuh's
Z. Adinegara got himself booked for a foul.
porsigal were forced into a substitution as
H. Majid couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing
B. Badaruddin to come in off the bench.
Possession in this half belonged to IpaTujuh, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.
The most dominating IpaTujuh player was without a doubt
D. Sulaiman.
H. Irwansyah turned in a dismal performance, however.
Most important porsigal player was
B. Badaruddin.
However,
A. Gufi made a disastrous appearance.
The match ends 2 - 2.
