It is always never easy to win the first match, but ultimately, PINTU FC were able to win their first match against RP. Four goals scored and two goals conceded, that's what PINTU FC's first match in Liga PPIS.

PINTU FC took initiative to control the game and that what's they got. PINTU FC was dominating the possession and controlling the game from the beginning, but RP was showing great resistance, not allowing PINTU FC to score any goals in the earlier minutes, despite creating some chances. RP in the other hand, sporadically attacks via long shot outside the box that handled quite well by Eugene.

It was Andhita who broke the deadlock, receiving Hans Saleh's pass to the empty net. 1-0. Few moments later, the same name doubled the lead. Andhita got the ball in front of goal before cleverly feinting a tackle from defender, and smashed the ball to the goal. 2-0 the scoreline. Alvin Kennardi added the third goal, from long range. He was trying to pump the ball directly to the front of the goal. Reza Raditya was there to take the ball, but somehow neither he nor the keeper were able to control the ball well, and it was another goal for PINTU FC.

Trying to prevent another goal, RP did a time out to reduce the momentum of PINTU FC, and actually it was succesful. No more goals were scored in the first half, and the half time scoreline remained 3-0.

On the second half, PINTU FC release their feet from the throttle, pulling out most of their starter. This eased the pressure for RP, thus allowing them to get some grip on the game and create some chances. They had one goal disallowed, because it was directly from kick in. PINTU FC was also having some chances to extend the lead, but Virvandy weren't able to finish the ball.

RP got one back when they stole the ball in PINTU FC's area and slotted the ball past Eugene. Few moments later, a deflected kick in by Hans Saleh left Eugene rooted in the near post without being able to prevent the ball from getting in 3-2.

After that goal, PINTU FC re-introduced all the starters again to play, and allowing them to once again control the game. Hans Saleh finally buried the game, dribbled pass a defender and scored his first goal in Liga PPIS, and giving PINTU FC a 2 goals lead. The final scoreline was 4-2, and PINTU FC secured three points from their first match.

After the first win in their first match, PINTU FC was able to continue their good form in the second match. This time, it was PSB team B whom PINTU FC. In the end, PINTU FC scored eight and kept a clean sheet, and with this result they collected 6 points out of 6, with 10 goals difference, to top the table of Liga PPIS, just above NUS, who also collected 6 points, but losing on goal difference.

PINTU FC tried to control the game from the start, and was able to score the first goal, from a counter attack. Eugene wasn't able to catch the ball perfectly, and he was only able to flip the ball to Andhita, who ran forward, and gave a perfect assist to Reza Raditya, who made no mistake to put the ball past the goalkeeper. 1-0 the scoreline. Reza added his second goal from a quick corner taken by Andhita. Reza was unmarked in the penalty area and smashed the ball to the goal, 2-0. PINTU FC added the third goal via Hans Saleh. He cut inside one defender to unleash a fierce shot, leaving the opposition keeper no chance to prevent it. Reza Raditya completed his hattrick after being able to get the deflected pass from Andhita, 4-0. Hans Saleh continued the riot by adding the fifth goal of the match, after receiving Reza's assist, and giving a comfortable lead through half time. 5-0.

The second half started with PINTU FC subbing Hans Saleh with Virvandy. He made an immediate impact by scoring the sixth. Virvandy stole the ball in opposition's area, dribbled past the keeper, and put it to the empty net. Virvandy scored his second goal, after rebounding his own shot blocked by the keeper.

PINTU FC could've easily added another goals if they weren't for heroic performance by PSB B's keepers, both the first-choice keeper, and his backup. They both weren't afraid to throw their body to stop the attacks, and their reflexes were brilliant. Virvandy twice nearly extended the lead, after exchanging passes with Christiandy, while Reza also was so close to beat the keeper for the fourth time. Christiandy also got one-on-one chance, but the keeper was there to make the save. Alvin Tandias got another chance from the corner but unfortunately the crossbar denied him from scoring in this match.

 After missing some chances, Hans Saleh, after re-entering the fray, scored the eight goal to complete his hattrick, from Reza Raditya and was the second man to score a hattrick in this match, beside the latter name. Until the final whistle, the scoreline remained 8-0, and PINTU FC earned 6 points from two match.
