PSPI Pasar Ikan – §H=[AMPO]=H§ | 16-08-2006 07.45

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 12000 that came out
to Estadio del Pasar Ikan. Pasar started off with a 4-4-2 lineup.
Lineup: Suwondo - Sanusi, Syaiful, Dian, Kristiawan - Gani, Rungkat,
Kusnan, Pane - Sahdan, Malaiholo.

§H=[AMPO]=H§ had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following
players had been chosen: Landriscina - Morais, Chaniago, Nopiyanto -
Korvela, Agrawal, Ichsan, Fariza, Falls - Hutasoit, Menten.

Pasar saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 5 minutes,
§H=[AMPO]=H§'s Sutha Chaniago made his way through the middle and
nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the
visitors up 0 - 1. Proving his experience, Hadi Sahdan scored 1 - 1 for
Pasar after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical
moment. §H=[AMPO]=H§'s Halim Ichsan gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead in
the 13:th minute with a superb strike from the right. Several players
seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked
by the clever and agile Soykan Fariza. No matter how hard he tried,
Khusnul Kusnan just couldn't get shot past the visitors' right side
defence in the 31:th minute. The referee showed §H=[AMPO]=H§'s Halim
Ichsan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. It was 1 -
2 at the break. The game was a stalemate so far, with possession split
evenly between the teams.

In the 54:th minute, §H=[AMPO]=H§ put themselves up 1 - 3 after an
attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Halim Ichsan. The referee showed §H=[AMPO]=H§'s Maikel Menten the yellow
card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Pasar, Eka
Pane was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave
the field. Syiful Bahroji replaced him. The home crowd were delighted
when Syiful Bahroji scored with a header after an attack from the right,
making the score 2 to 3. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the
pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! 66 minutes into
the match, Pasar's Hadi Sahdan maneuvered his way around the opposition
on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The
effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score
at 3 - 3. §H=[AMPO]=H§ took the lead in the game's 77:th minute, scoring
the 3 - 4 goal after some elegant plays down the middle. Maikel Menten
was the scorer. §H=[AMPO]=H§'s Sutha Chaniago was shown a yellow card
after 79 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Pasar's Hadi Sahdan made
a successful breakthrough on the left in the game's 82:th minute and
should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar.
§H=[AMPO]=H§ almost scored after a counterattack in the 86:th minute,
but Raja Falls took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the
side of the net. Pasar's Khusnul Kusnan was shown a yellow card for
standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick in the
87:th minute. Pasar held the ball, with a clear 54 percent of
possession.

Most important Pasar player was Reagan Gani. Marani Suwondo was a
disappointment, however. The most dominating §H=[AMPO]=H§ player was
without a doubt Hernán Edgardo Landriscina. Raja Falls was a
disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 4.
