Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 71: Versus Jayapura Black Diamond (2)

Jayapura Black Diamond really mastered the course of the game, until the 24th minute in the first half they managed to produce 5 shots on goal and 2 of them off-target. After that they also controlled possession.67% compared to 33%, Cananga Youth Development really could not do much.

The Cananga Youth Mining players were completely overwhelmed in the face of Jayapura Black Diamond's onslaught, but Jayapura Black Diamond players are also exhausted because all the attacks they are trying to build still have not found the results they expected.

The meeting of the defense and the expertise of Derry was the one who saved the face of the Cananga Youth Mining club, if not then maybe they had missed 3-0 more in the first 20 minutes of this first half.

Entering the 29th minute, Jayapura Black Diamond again got a golden opportunity. Starting from the cooperation of midfield players with Beni Bonsapia. Beni directly gave gastric bait to Ferdinand Pahabol. Ferdinand Pahabol was immediately blocked by Galih and Bagas, but they were both defeated by Ferdinand Pahabol in a duel and Ferdinand Pahabol managed to take a directed and measured first-time kick.

Once again Derry showed his quality, he managed to pull off the kick perfectly. The rebound ball is instantly swept clean by one of their left full-backs.

The ball that was swept clean was forward and was successfully received by Rizaldi Fatah. Rizaldi immediately ran as fast as he could, surprising the line of Jayapura Black Diamond defenders who were still left behind.

It was easy enough for Rizaldi to pass them all, until finally he was in front of the opposing team's penalty box, Rizaldi had the option to make a shot towards the goal, but he did the scanning and found the position of Martin more likely to score goals.

He gave a very measured pass to Martin. Jayapura Black Diamond team goalkeeper followed where the ball went and he found the ball towards Martin, so he immediately jumped to block Martin's upcoming kick.

But unfortunately Martin who is already in a very free position was not able to maximize the opportunity. Martin who kicked the ball while running instead fell slipping and the ball even flew over the goal only.

Realizing he was wasting the golden opportunity just now, Martin could only be bowed and hit the ground several times.

Rizaldi did not believe what he saw, there was a sense of disappointment in him but he held that feeling and still encouraged Martin.

"Good luck Martin, next it'll be a goal!" said Rizaldi tried to encourage Martin not to think too much about the kick earlier.

Martin then rose, but he seemed to still think about the golden opportunity he wasted earlier despite being warned by Rizaldi not to think too much about it.

The match continues, the goal kick has been done by Jayapura Black Diamond goalkeeper. After winning the aerial duel, Jayapura Black Diamond defender immediately gave the ball to Beni Bonsapia.

As it has been, Beni Bonsapia made short passes in the middle of the field while gradually advancing to ditch the defense of the Cananga Youth Mining team.

Once they managed to get in, Beni Bonsapia gave a pass to Emanuel Bonai who immediately ran on the side of the field to dismantle the Cananga Youth Mining team defense. But the Cananga Youth Mining defense has started tight, Emanuel Bonai a bit difficult to pass the opponent's full-back, so it does not give him another option to cross into the penalty box.

Zaki Iskandar immediately tried to take the ball from his opponent's foot, but Zaki was a little late and the opposing player managed to make a shot that hit Bagas' foot and made the ball fly back up and fall at the foot of another Jayapura Black Diamond player.

Seeing as he could not go straight into the Cananga Youth Mining team's defensive line, the player preferred to throw the ball back to reset rather than force but they still got a nil result.

Jayapura Black Diamond kept up the pressure on Cananga Youth Development many times, but the discipline of Cananga Youth Mining defenders still made them unable to change the scoreboard that was still a spectacle. Then we arrived in the 43rd minute.

Starting from the tiki-taka game that continues to be shown by the Jayapura Black Diamond team, Beni Bonsapia drain the ball to the left side of the Cananga Youth Mining defense. If some time ago he always chose the position that there was the existence of the figure of Emanuel Bonai there, this time he chose something a little different.

Jayapura Black Diamond full-back Felix Salossa managed to dismantle the Cananga Youth Mining team defense from the right side and he managed to provide a cut-back pass that was difficult to anticipate the Cananga Mining team defense line Youths.

Ferdinand Pahabol with his instinct and scoring instinct kicked the ball hard, the ball was spinning very fast through the legs of the defenders Cananga Youth Mining team and Derry could not react because they did not see the ball coming due to being blocked by other Jayapura Black Diamond players and colleagues.

The ball went into the goal, turning the score into 1-0 while Jayapura Black Diamond was ahead. Ferdinand Pahabol immediately ran to the corner of the pitch, celebrating his goal with great fanfare and emotion. After that the other Jayapura Black Diamond players approached Ferdinand Pahabol and they then performed a dance in front of the audience, 1-0 up makes them already start to feel the upper hand and get a fresh breeze.

Rizaldi bowed limp, his stamina seemed to have drained completely after seeing the goal earlier although the game still left a few minutes left in the first half.

"Let's guys the game's not over yet, let's catch up!" Martin tried to mentally make his colleagues not to be too low.

They started to forget about the goal, what they think now is to make a counter goal. The match resumed again, Cananga Youth Mining players tried to slightly change the course of the game by doing short passing-passing.

But they were a little complacent, Zaki Iskandar who wanted to pass to Rizaldi but was too responsible and even succeeded in being cut by Ferdinand Pahabol. Because of that mistake Ferdinand Pahabol immediately ran very fast, his speed was like a cheetah running on a vast prairie, the defenders of Cananga Youth Mining could not stop him.

Ferdinand Pahabol was faced with Derry very quickly, Derry immediately advanced to push the ball but Ferdinand Pahabol shifted the ball to the right and made Derry fooled. Derry jumped towards Ferdinand Pahabol as his last attempt, but unfortunately the ball kicked by Ferdinand Pahabol first passed Derry and entered the goal for the second time.

Jayapura Black Diamond players returned to perform their dance celebrations, while Cananga Youth Mining players again bowed.

Until the first round was finally over, the score was 2-0 for Jayapura Black Diamond. Cananga Youth players returned to the dressing room with expressions that were difficult to explain, their heads now filled with frustration after the second goal. Now they get a homework that requires them to score 2 more goals in the second half to stay in this knockout phase, or they can just give up and give up their title as defending champions.
