Cahyo was very frustrated, his decision to go forward to take the ball was careless. He blames himself for being so unnecessary. Whether he advances or not, it will not change the conditions. Thomas is a sharp striker even in league 1. This was simply due to the gulf in ability between them.

As captain of the team Chayo has a role to lead and encourage his team. He immediately got up and focused. He shouted to encourage his teammates.

"Let's get excited, focus."

Everyone immediately came to their senses and refocused on running the match.  Alan passes to Beto who immediately passes to the back.

Although Persipura was only against a 3rd league class club they did not loosen their attack. As soon as the kick off started they rushed forward to suppress the Maung King's defenses. This time the Maung King's side had been fully prepared. The ball passes from one to the other. Ahmad looked around and immediately gave Andre a deep pass.

Ahmad was afraid that if he was too long sticky with the ball, the ball would soon be seized. The decision to pass immediately was also because he saw Inho rushing towards him.

Andre's speed is not too fast when compared to Anton's speed but the ability of his feet to rub the ball is his weapon. With a swipe of his foot he managed to fool James, Persipura's left-back. From the right side of the field he moves forward and crosses inwards.

Alan ran to the position of the falling ball and prepared to jump. As the ball gets closer to its position from behind Alan appears Rui who immediately jumps and throws the ball away. Maung Raja's chance to equalize the score was thwarted by Rui.

Rui is a Persipura centre-back. At first he was just a backup but when Persipura was relegated to the 2nd league. Their main defender did not want to extend his contract with Persipura again as a result of which Rui began to get the role of Persipura's main defender.

In this friendly match, he wants to show his ability to get a better impression in the minds of their coaches. He does not hesitate to bring out all his best abilities.

Back to the game, as the ball headed by Rui went off the field Maung Raja's team got a chance to take a corner kick. At present, several players have filled the box belonging to Persipura. Andre who took a corner kick did not pass into the box but passed to Herman who approached him.

Currently Raka is outside the penalty box and it happens that Herman who saw Raka without any guard also fed the ball towards him. Looking around him at a glance he saw the paths that showed empty space. Without a doubt he started kicking the ball in that direction.

A flat ball moves according to the direction of the path chosen by Raka.

Raka's operand was well received by Anton. Controlling with his inner left foot with a brief Anton started shooting the ball. The ball drove towards the goal but managed to be easily caught by Sisoo. The kick that Anton made was too obvious for Sisoo to catch him.

Sisoo immediately kicked the ball far forward to take advantage of the situation. Currently the Maung King's defensive line there were only three people left. Inho who was waiting for the ball from behind immediately started moving. Ahmad immediately followed Inho to compete for the ball.

Ahmad thrust his arm into Inho's body to upset his balance. Inho's body remained unmoved as their bodies collided. Not to be outdone he also thrust his arm into Ahmad.

Ahmad, who was unable to withstand the impact of Inho, fell to the ground. The player Maung Raja gave a sign that it was a foul but the referee did not flinch and the match continued. The referee considered it a regular physical competition.

Immediately Inho approached the penalty box, learning from their mistakes at the beginning of the match Sandi with Ucup maintained their position and did not rush to seize the ball. Especially besides Inho there is Thomas that they need to take care of.

Not losing his mind Inho immediately kick from outside the penalty box. His kick shot swiftly towards the top right corner of the goal. Cahyo jumped to the right and made a resounding rescue. The ball was pushed off the field which gave Persipura a corner kick.

Cahyo was relieved to be able to withstand the attack carried out by Persipura. But it only lasted for a moment, a header Thomas managed to break the goal Cahyo. Two points lead for Persipura. Thomas picked up the ball and took it right into the middle of the field.

3 - 0

Three-point lead at the end of the first half. The Persipura players walked out of the field laughing cheerfully on the other side the Maung Raja players bowed their heads. Fighting Persipura for 45 minutes was very draining for them.

The audience also kept cheering the Maung Raja players to keep their spirits up, since the beginning they were already convinced that the Maung Raja would lose so they did not have excessive demands. They clapped and sang songs to encourage the players.

Our spirit never goes out

Our voices will never disappear

Rest assured that you will not be alone

We always support you~

...

In the second half of the game, James replaced the five main players and gave their reserve players a chance to exercise. Victory is clear in their grasp so no longer need to bother spending all their abilities. Thomas and Inho were also among those replaced by coach James.

On the other hand Handoko encourages them not to be too desperate and to continue to run with the strategies they have trained during their training days.

Thirty minutes since the second half sign whistle began, the score retained was still 3 - 0. In this second half they implemented a counter-attack strategy.

All Maung Raja players work together to survive the attack made by Persipura players. The good result was that they managed to hold Persipura back from adding to the lead.

As Persipura players were passing the ball to each other to build an attack, Faiz managed to intercept and seize the ball. From the left side of the field Anton immediately ran fast forward. A long pass was given to Anton on the left side of the field.

Maung Raja players also rushed to run after Anton who is currently facing off with wing-back Persipura. Anton passes the ball to Raka who catches up with him and immediately returns it to Anton. A beautiful one-two bait at the show by Anton and Raka.

Rui who saw the two of them getting closer immediately focused towards them. At this time Raka dribbled closer and closer to Rui. The scenery in front of Raka was very wide now, he saw that Alan whom Rui had originally guarded tightly was no longer as tight as he used to be.

Raka immediately passed the ball to Alan.

Alan who received the ball did not shoot immediately but what was surprising was that he passed the ball to Beto. But as the guard is focused on Beto, Beto lures back to Alan. Pulling his right foot back, Alan immediately kicked the ball. The ball hit the crossbar bounced into the Persipura goal.

Alan who scored the goal immediately surrounded by players Maung Raja. They broke the eggs.

3 -1

This score is maintained until the game is over. Persipura insisted on scoring an extra goal but failed until the referee sounded the whistle.
