PINTU FC succumbed to a 0-1 defeat against inSIM on the second game. This results put them in a verge of not qualifying to the next round.
PINTU FC, who fielded the same player again, started the game brightly, creating couple of nice chances, and could have scored goal in the opening minutes. However, it was InSIM who scored a goal. A long shot, imperfectly dealt by Ericko, and got inside the net. PINTU tried to search for equalizer, but the slippery field made it difficult for PINTU FC to play their usual game. Despite holding the ball for majority of the game, they struggled to create chances. InSIM got one excellent chance one on one with Ericko, but the keeper made no mistake, superbly blocked the ball, and kept PINTU FC in game. First half ended 1-0 for InSIM's lead.

Second half was not really different from the first half, with PINTU FC keep playing the ball, without being able to finding a real chance. The introduction of Novandi on the second half didn't change the game a lot. Still no real chance. The majority of shots taken were from long range, and unfortunately no shots were really threatening the goal. Until the final whistle is blown, PINTU FC failed to find the equalizer.
This result puts PINTU FC on the third place of the group, with the same point of Shelton but losing on goal difference. InSIM was on first place with six points from two games. PINTU FC will face Shelton next week, and they have to win big and need InSIM to lose to PSB so that they could qualify to the semifinal.
