Raka's action to perform the celebration is not entirely without reason. This is because the harsh words thrown by Persihasel supporters have been too excessive. In addition, also in retaliation to the celebration of striker Persihasel in the previous game.
Raka's actions also fully ignited the emotions of Persihasel players. After the match Raka started
get rough physical confrotation. They will crash his body or do a tackle every time Raka gets the ball.
Right now Raka was lying on the grass. His white away jersey clothes were already dirty exposed to the ground and grass. Fifteen minutes have passed since the goal in Raka's scoring has been lying on the grass five times.
At first Persihasel players were a bit hesitant to make a foul many times because they were afraid of giving cards. But after twice done the referee still does not give the card they immediately become-so.
They take advantage of the referee's caution in issuing cards.
There have been five violations but the referee still only gives a meaningless oral warning. Maung Raja players are very dissatisfied with what the referee did in their opinion at least a yellow card needs to be given to give a deterrent effect.
Although it is unfortunate if Persihasel players still do not get a yellow card at least they get a free kick.
On the side of the field coach Handoko has also frowned his expression. He was also dissatisfied with the referee's decision but could only vent to the bottle of mineral water in his grasp.
To be honest Raka was very sorry for his actions when he realized he would get harsh treatment. But if he is given a choice he will still do the same.
Raka did not lose his mind with the rude actions of Persihasel's players. Before the tackle landed Raka will drop her body to do diving. The action of course get scorn from Persihasel supporters.
Many do not like diving because it is a despicable and unworthy action. But for players diving is a self-protection to avoid injury. If he stands up straight like nothing happened the referee will not say anything about the rude action.
Returning to the game, time had shown the 40th minute and the assistant referee beside the field raised the electronic board that wrote the number 2. A sign for extra time of the game.
Anton who worked with Hafiz managed to outwit the winger from Persihasel and soon passed him. The remaining Persihasel players immediately leaned closer to Anton's current position.
Anton does the gastric pass, but the ball is not directed into the penalty box but rather the other side whose guard is quite empty. The ball is distributed from the left side of the field towards the right side of the field.
Andre ran with all his might and managed to chase the ball that was passed by Anton. Defender Persihasel immediately confronted him that made Andre had to stop, just before Andre would pass to the penalty box someone dressed in white past full-back Persihasel from behind.
That person was Raka, he rushed to the side as the paths in his gaze led to the side of the field. The ball came towards him immediately.
Raka entered the penalty box through the right side of the field and immediately kicked the ball towards the goal. Because kicking from the right side so that the angle is too small so it is easy to read by Persihasel goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper immediately bent his body preparing to catch the flat ball. A foot is stretched out about the ball to change the path of movement of the ball. Goalkeeper Persihasel just stared at the ball rolling into his net with a silly expression.
An own goal is scored before the first half is over. The score becomes 2 – 0 repeating what happened during the first round. Maung Raja led two goals before the break.
Leading two goals does not make Maung Raja relax. They become more focused in the game because results can change before the game ends. The first round against Persihasel was a valuable lesson.
When the second half began Handoko replaced Beto with Kusno to increase the strength of their defensive line. The main focus of Maung Raja is now to maintain excellence.
As a result the counter-attack strategy implemented by Persihasel did not produce anything. The ball is passed from one person to another to buy time.
A Persihasel player managed to intercept and managed to catch up with the score. Now the pressure completely turned to the Maung Raja players whether to successfully hold the advantage or be chased by Persihasel once again.
As the game time neared its end, coach Persihasel gave instructions to keep the pressure on Maung Raja's defense. Even their goalkeepers rushed forward to help form an attack.
With a hasty action a bait error occurred on Persihasel's side and the ball soon returned in the player Maung Raja's control. The ball was handed to Raka.
From the wing Anton and Andre immediately ran forward with the fastest speed. In front of him was also Alan who waved his hand to ask for the ball. After making his decision he kicked the ball straight forward.
It was not a pass because the ball was too fast to accept. The ball went forward and soon caught up with goalkeeper Persihasel who was trying to get back into position.
The goal scored extinguished Persihasel's hopes completely. The referee gave three minutes extra time that could not change things.
The final whistle of the match was sounded.
Persihasel supporters immediately left the stands disappointed that the team they supported failed to advance to the semi-finals some fanatical fans remained in the stands to sing the song to keep encouraging players on the pitch.
All Persihasel players walked up to the stands and immediately lowered their heads in regret and thanks for the support they gave.
The exhausted Maung Raja players immediately poured themselves on the ground with smiles emanating on their faces inversely proportional to Persihasel players. They made it to the semi-finals, one step closer to getting a trophy and a promotion opportunity.
Someone who is happier today is Raka because he was chosen as the Most Valueable Player in this match. It was the first time he had an MVP in his career.
At the same time, the other match also ended. Four clubs made it to the semi-finals.
Apart from Maung Raja, three of them are Galacticos Bireuen from Aceh, Persikota from Tangerang with the striker in the top scorer list, the top scorer, and the last is Belitong club from Belitung which is considered as the dark horse of league 3 with Maung Raja.
The presence of Belitong and Maung Raja did make the course of league 3 become colorful. Completely offers fun in football.
