PSPI Pasar Ikan – Highman FC | 08-07-2006 09.00

Due to an all-day shower, 12000 paying spectators got to see a match on
a pitch-turned-bog at Estadio del Pasar Ikan. Pasar decided to use a
5-4-1 set up. The following players took the field: Fahriansyah -
Miharwiyanto, Syaiful, Lubis, Yulianto, Mamay - Roekito, Koto, Rambe,
Bahroji - Tri.

Highman decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Jurjani - Manik, Pinem,
Kurnia, Malaranggeng - Bramantiko, Samura, Sunyoto, Kamri, Mashudi -
Kopouw.

The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit
Herman Lubis just fine. In the 31:th minute, Highman nearly took the
lead, as Ikbal Bramantiko broke through on the right. Icuk Fahriansyah
made the save, however. 40 minutes into the game, a swerving free kick
by Arianto Koto almost resulted in the home team taking the lead, but
the shot glanced harmlessly off the frame of the goal. In the game's
41:th minute, Highman's Ikbal Bramantiko fell dramatically just outside
the penalty area. However, the referee booked Ikbal Bramantiko for
diving. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Highman claimed
to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed
with them - possession being 59 percent.

A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave Highman the lead
in the 51:th minute, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way
through the defensive wall. 66 minutes into the game, Loudry Samura had
a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went
wide. Pasar enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of
possession.

The most dominating Pasar player was without a doubt Herman Lubis.
However, Saukani Rambe made a disastrous appearance. Highman's best
player was Yanto Mashudi. Sangga Kopouw on the other hand, had a
terrible day. The match ends 0 - 0.
