As a young child, of course, you don't want to be left out of everything else. Raka also has social media accounts like any other young person. He is opening a social media application, a lot of news about the events surrounding their match against Persidago. This is the power of social media, just some time and things start to go viral.

Raka turns off her phone as their coach Handoko walks into the room. Currently the Maung Raja players were gathered in the meeting room to discuss the match yesterday. It is the custom of Maung Raja's team since Handoko took over as the team's main coach. They will re-watch the game and analyze with the game so they can develop for the better.

 The video of the match was recorded by one of the assistants of the stands at Handoko's request. Immediately ninety minutes passed in an instant and Handoko began to talk about the mistakes that needed to be corrected.

"Regardless of the referee's decision being detrimental to us, let's put that aside for a while. I do not forbid you to be angry if there are adverse events for us but as a coach I demand you to keep thinking clearly. Think about the consequences of your actions before you act"

Although Handoko did not stare at Ahmad, Ahmad who heard Handoko's words naturally realized that this was a rebuke to him. He could only scratch his head in shame. He was also very sorry for pushing the referee so he got a red card. In addition to the disadvantage for the team he also harms himself because he must be absent for the next two games.

"In addition ninety minutes without scoring proved that our attack is still not sharp. Anton works with Hafiz on the left side to make a breakthrough. Andre, often to do dribbling to the middle of the field. This will greatly help Beto and Alan to find gaps in their care. Lastly Raka, do not stop to continue observing throughout the match. Don't just because your body moves your brain stops moving, I'm asking you to move both at the same time."

"There's still two weeks left before we fight back Persidago, the next exercise we'll focus on in attacking practice."

The following days according to Handoko's words, they began to practice attacking. Due to Ahmad's absence in the next match, Kusno was appointed to replace Ahmad but Kusno's ability to control the rhythm of the game was very less than that of Ahmad.

As a pure defensive midfielder he is only good at physical clashes and tackles to snatch the ball. Therefore, their original 4-1-3-2 tactics were changed by Handoko to 4-2-3-1. Only using Alan as a spearhead and a substitute named Rudi who has the ability to control the rhythm better than Kusno to replace Beto position.

There is a saying from the other side that a man must be able to withstand his feelings of revenge for a thousand years. Two weeks went by quickly and the day came when the second round of matches between Maung Raja and Persidago.

Raja Stadium which has a capacity of 500 people has been fully filled by the supporters. The stands are covered by a navy blue color that matches the home jersey of Maung Raja. The fans enthusiastically chanted chants and raised flags for their beloved club throughout the game.

Since the beginning of the game began Maung Raja players aggressively attacked. They have no other choice because to qualify for the last 16 stage they must at least score two goals in the current match.

The shame when focusing on attacking, the Maung King ignored their defense. At that time the attack carried out by Maung Raja was successfully handled by Persidago defenders. At that time the Maung King's defense left only three people.

After successfully passing Kusno, the winger numbered 20 backs immediately accelerate his run to approach the penalty box. Ucup's current position is to keep the opposing striker and Sandi in a free state but Sandi is hesitant whether to go forward to snatch the ball or wait for his teammates to come back to help the defence.

Persidago players who realized Sandi's hesitation immediately took a long-range kick. The ball flew towards the left side of the goal guarded by Cahyo. He stretches his fingers to reach the ball but the ball has already entered the goal. He stood up and shouted to his teammates so as not to forget the defense.

Conditions worsened for Maung Raja's side after Persidago added the score advantage to 2-0. A total of three goals need to be scored in order for their team to qualify. This time Handoko did not hesitate to replace Rudi with Beto. He thought that Maung Raja could control the ball better but conditions did not favor him to focus on ball possession.

The score has been two goals behind and it makes no difference if the score again increases to three or four because whatever the circumstances if Maung Raja does not score, he said, their journey in the league competition is coming to an end. Therefore he decided to bet by including Beto so that the attack line is strengthened.

Fortunately before the break Maung Raja got a golden opportunity to catch up the score. Andre who was dribbling the ball ran towards the middle to the middle which made Persidago's defense focused on him. Overshadowed by Alan's figure as the main top scorer, Beto was slightly forgotten by centre-back Persidago. But only because he is not the main top scorer his ability to finish so bad.

Andre is also very aware of the sharpness of a striker named Beto in scoring goals. Realizing that he without hesitation immediately passed the ball to Beto who was unattended. This is the opportunity that Beto has been waiting for.

After receiving the ball passed by Andre, Beto turned his body and directed the ball towards the goal. Persidago's defenders who realised Beto's presence immediately stretched his legs to block the shooting angle but he was too late because before his feet reached, the ball had already entered the goal.

Before Beto did the celebration of his colleagues immediately surrounded him, he who failed to do the celebration could only turn to the starting position while waving his hands to the supporters.

In the 55th minute again Beto scored and managed to equalize to 2 - 2.

This time the Persidago defender did not underestimate Beto's ability and began to guard him. From the side of the field also coach Persidago asked his players to increase the intensity of the attack in order to lead back.

With a divided focus, Persidago's defense is not as tight as the beginning of the game. Alan became more free to move because Beto also helped support the burden of guarding the opponent defender. Crossing passes came from Anton towards Beto but when he heard Alan's voice from behind he decided to let the ball pass him.

Just as Beto predicted, Alan greeted the ball and immediately kicked it. In the 80th minute, Maung Raja scored and led the game. Ten minutes passed since Alan scored, Persidago again launched attack after attack but did not get the results he wanted to achieve. Cahyo stalling deliberately slowing his standing when he caught the ball.

The referee blew his whistle three times as the end of the game after giving an extra 3 minutes. Maung Raja also automatically bagged a ticket to the round of 16.
