Chftr 89.

The second half of the final match between Indonesia and Portugal has entered the 59th minute.

Where the score still remains the same ie 2 - 1. Indonesia is superior to Portugal.

But during this second half, Indonesia has not recorded additional statistics in the number of shots.

They have not had the opportunity to attack because every time they get the ball, the pressing done by the opposing player or the Portuguese player is really aggressive and tight.

Until the player who has just received the ball must immediately return the ball or pass back to other colleagues so as not to mention the ball.

During this second half also, Portugal had produced 3 shots on goal, but everything was still off the mark.

But in view of this alone has proven that Portugal more dominating in the second half.

Entering the 62nd minute, Portugal controlled the ball.

Portugal midfielder perform pass by pass while entering the territory of Indonesia.

Although slowly but it is felt by Indonesian players. Where they felt the pressure and had to retreat bit by bit.

But that is what Portugal wants, where the Indonesian players withdraw and Portugal can enter deeper into the territory of Indonesia.

The forward Portugal players are already moving in search of space while asking for the ball as they get some free space.

But the teammate who had the ball did not give the pass, it was because they knew if they gave the pass, the path would soon be closed by Indonesian players and Portuguese players must be more patient.

More patient so that once the pass given is accurate and dangerous.

In the 65th minute, the Portuguese midfielder who served as a ball splitter.

See a small one between Lutfi and Abhimanyu.

He made the pass through that gap.

Where the ball passes between Lutfi and Abhimanyu very elegantly.

The splitting bait went directly past Irianto who had tried to close the path of the ball, but the ball actually passed behind him.

The Portuguese forward who saw the pass was of course immediately moved because he felt that this was a rare opportunity.

He ran towards the ball but was still followed by Nurhidayat.

Irianto also immediately moved to cover the firing room later so that nothing dangerous happened.

Irianto gave Nurhidayat his full confidence to harass the attacker.

The Portuguese forward finally got the ball, he immediately dribbled it a little to get into the penalty box.

When he got into the penalty box, he would shoot but Irianto arrived to do a tackle so that the ball was thrown out of the field.

But unfortunately, the level of sensitivity of the attacker is very sharp, not only sharpness in 1 against 1, but the sense of sensitivity is also sharp.

He easily avoided Irianto's tackle and dribbled the ball a little further.

When it has passed Irianto, the attacker is now just shooting.

He immediately did a shake.

When going to shoot with his right foot, Nurhidayat who had followed him knew that he had to take steps because Irianto had also passed.

Nurhidayat tried to grab his shirt but his hand was not up to grab it.

The attacker, who had no interference, ended up shooting with his right foot.

Where the muscles of his leg muscles are visible, this shows that the kick he did was very hard.

Sure enough, the ball also quickly drove towards the goal, where Riyandi guarded.

Riyandi who plays as a goalkeeper must be ready with all conditions.

He jumped to the top left post because the ball was pointing there.

Jumping high, Riyandi reached out his left hand to reach or touch the ball.

Staying a few inches longer, Riyandi forced his speech and finally managed to touch the ball.

But the ball that was touched was only a little and only changed direction a little.

The ball bounced back to the penalty box but unfortunately the ball really landed in front of the Portuguese attacker.

The Portuguese attacker did not waste much time, he immediately thrust his foot to shoot.

He shot slowly because there was no more interference, let alone the position of the goalkeeper on the left and he was falling.

With a sodoran from the right foot of the Portuguese attacker, the ball finally crossed the goal line and entered the goal belonging to Indonesia guarded by Riyandi.

The Portuguese attacker immediately ran towards the corner of the field and did his own special celebration.

I don't know what it means from that celebration.

The other Portuguese players also ran after the attacker to celebrate a goal together.

The Portuguese reserves on the bench also ran over to celebrate.

While the coach and staff of the Portuguese team embraced because they were happy finally his team could reply and equalize.

The Indonesian reserve players and coaches and Indonesian staff were just silent and downcast because the score they had was now equal.

The Indonesian players on the pitch have all become more down.

Sean who saw this ran towards the goal and took the ball.

Sean takes the ball to the middle of the white dot and cheers the other players on.

After a while, the kick off also began to return with Indonesia kicking it.

With this the ball is also controlled by Indonesian players.

Indonesian players try to stay calm so as not to get carried away with emotions and lust to score again soon.

They patiently control the ball by passing each other from left to right, right to left, back to front, front to back.

And then they did try to attract the opposing players, but Portugal is really different from before.

They just wait and do not press as aggressively as before.

Sean who had been moving was also aware of this.

He then ran to the back and asked for the ball.

After Sean received the pass ball, Sean looked left and right to pay attention to his partner.

When he saw that his partner was very closed and could not move freely.

Sean decided to dribble forward alone.

Sean dribbled the ball into the opponent's territory slowly.

When it will really enter the core of the defense, Sean was stopped by the full back right Portugal.

Sean ended up facing 1 on 1 with the Portugal full right.

Calmly and shrewdly, Sean made a footwork but was still in place.

Leg movements are also followed by body movements to the left and right trying to trick the opponent.

Full back opponents certainly do not want to be fooled and he focuses on the ball.

As Sean moved his body quickly to his left where it was the direction of the corner of the field.

Sean moved the ball to the right by his left foot quickly.

The opponent's full back immediately moves to the left where the direction of the ball is in motion by Sean.

But when the full back player is moving towards the ball.

Sean flipped the ball by his right foot, which was still close to the ball on the right.

Sean's ball turned to the left, having Sean's body leaned to the left, Sean also touched the ball by the right foot a little hard so that he just chased the ball and did not need to dribble again later.

Sean who managed to outwit it immediately ran towards the intended ball.
