Maung Raja's highest achievement so far is reaching the quarter-finals. If Maung Raja can win the next game, they can match their record high. Therefore, the management of Maung Raja promised to give a bonus of 1 million if they qualify for the semi-finals and double their salary if they won the final is not included in the bonus of winning the league written in contract.
When they heard the news, all the players were very excited. They enthusiastically run their daily training to prepare for the next match. Maung Raja's match schedule after qualifying for the round of 16 is against PS Jembrana.
PS Jembrana managed to beat Sleman United by a narrow margin of 1 – 0. Having an advantage of 1 – 0 at the time of the first round, PS Jembrana immediately carried out bus parking tactics. Even during the second round since the beginning of the game they have implemented bus parking. The game became a boring game to watch.
Sleman United supporters who saw it felt frustrated and began to condemn the player and coach PS Jembrana. Despite being made fun of for using a shameless strategy, PS coach Jembrana remained silent and was not provoked by their banter. For him the results are more important than a beautiful tactic or a dramatic process.
In an effort to overcome that, coach Handoko began focusing on dead ball practice. According to his analysis the PS Jembrana players have a shorter height than the players Maung Raja. Therefore through dead balls they will duel in the air.
Maung Raja club training usually starts from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon. The clock is now four o'clock in the afternoon but there is still one person left on the field. That guy was Raka, from the first day they did dead ball training in order to prepare against PS Jembrana he had an idea on his mind.
Previously when he was in Persija, Raka had never tried to kick a dead ball and never imagined even to do so. But this time it was different, he thought that with the precision of the bait and the help of the paths he could only see would result in something different.
Therefore Raka decided to start practicing executing dead balls. Neither the free kick nor the corner kick he did after daily training with the team.
From a distance of 30 meters from the goal, Raka retreated backwards to do a swing. The ball flew with
quickly head into the goal and hit the crossbar hard. Raka's goal is to point right into the middle but the ball flies higher. Although he has a fairly high accuracy kicking the ball long distance is very different from close range.
The further the target accuracy goal will get worse. He has tried from various positions and his ideal position to achieve maximum accuracy is from a distance of 22 meters.
By the time Raka was about to try once again Handoko came over to him. Handoko also knew that he would practice long-range kicks after daily practice.
“Your ability to execute free-kicks increased quickly, I thought I would include you in the list of players to take free-kicks. But enough of his training and
hurry home for the break because tomorrow there is a game against PS Jembrana.”
Handoko tells Raka to come home soon. Raka was a little reluctant because she still wanted to practice but in the end she nodded and rushed to go home. Although training is important, the match
tomorrow is more important.
The match between Maung Raja and PS Jembrana football club from Bali in the first round will be held at the Raja Stadium.
Kusno is still playing as an early starter because Ahmad is still in the red card suspension. Ahmad can only join the team during the second round against PS Jembrana.
It is very difficult to break through with flat passes so those gastric feeds are preferred. From back to front the ball will still end up at Raka's feet because he who has a stable passing accuracy.
PS player Jembrana is also aware of that and starts a physical clash with Raka. Within 20 meters of PS Jembrana goal, Raka who was then about to turn after receiving a pass from Kusno fell because of a tackle from the opponent.
Luckily he can reflexively pull his legs back so he just falls but his feet are not hit by tackles from opponents. Just now was a dangerous moment because he could get injured.
Usually the one who kicks free kicks is Andre or Ahmad both often take turns. By the time Andre would kick Raka walked up to him and said he wanted to try to do it in an official match.
Andre wanted to take the free-kick but ultimately agreed to Raka's request. Standing behind the ball, Raka began to observe the scene in front of her. In front of him he saw PS Jembrana players who made fences and Maung Raja players who were preparing to chase the ball.
Taking a swing, the ball is immediately kicked towards the goal. The ball soars high but before the ball reaches the goal it slowly starts to go down like there is no power.
Raka did not aim to kick the ball directly into the goal. Raka's goal is actually to pass the ball to Beto who is in the closest position to the ball landing. Beto also did not disappoint him, receiving the ball with his right shoulder Beto immediately raised his foot and immediately kicked. A volley shot by Beto penetrated the defense of goalkeeper PS Jembrana.
1 – 0
PS Jembrana has a lag of points so can not fully maintain defensive tactics if you want to qualify. PS coach Jembrana stood up from his chair and approached the field and gave instructions with his hands. Their sign to attack.
Praise needs to be given to Kusno at this match. He devoted his dedication to defending the Maung Raja defensive line. His tireless run and tackle made Cahyo who was under the goal quite relaxed.
Between the tortoise shell and the lion's fangs the people debated it before the course of the match. But today's match proves that the jungle king's lion fangs are the winners. Their fangs completely violate the defenses of the turtle shell.
With the help of a crossing kicked by Anton, Alan scored spectacularly. Alan greeted the pass with a salto kick. The goal may even enter the league's best goal nomination 3 months.
All players Maung Raja crazy and chasing Alan who did celebration. Maung Raja supporters who watch in the stadium are also not less crazy. They began to sing the songs louder to support the player who was playing.
Final result 2 – 0 victory for Maung Raja. The second round was held at the home stadium of PS Jembrana, Handoko changed his tactics to fully focus on defense using a 4-2-3-1 formation that eventually tied the scoreline to 1 – 1 in the match.
Aggregate 3 – 1.
Maung Raja reached the top of his history once again entering the quarter-finals of league 3.
