Liga PPIS 2012 Review

PINTU FC finished in second place in Liga PPIS 2012. They were so close defending the title they won last year, but in the last game, they stumbled against the eventual Champion, PINUS, 1-2, in a tight, evenly-matched game. It was PINTU FC's only defeat in the tournament, which ended their hope winning the Liga.

Before that lost, PINTU FC was having a quite impressive run during the tournament, winning seven out of nine games, with a whopping 41 goals scored, with the other two games, drawing once, and losing the other one.

PINTU FC started the Liga with winning 4-2 against Republic Poly when Andhita scored a brace, and Alvin Kennardi scored a goal from his own half with a beautiful pump; before thrashing 8-0 against PSB B on the first matchday, as both Hans Saleh and Reza Radiya scored hattrick, and Virvandy made a brace in this match.

They were held by Curtin 4-4 after leading 4-0. It was a tough result to accept, but after that, they recorded 5 consecutive wins, including the next match, where they win against PSB A with five goals to 1. In this match, Christiandy scored a brace, and one of his goal were brilliant, as he raced through half court before putting the ball past the keeper. PINTU FC almost lost their fifth match, but they showed great determination to overcome 2-3 deficit to seal a 4-3 victory against Kaplan, as both Reza Raditya and Andhita scored a double.

PINTU FC continued the Liga by winning against both SIM B and SIM A. Once again, Hans and Reza Raditya scored a hattrick in the same match, versus SIM B, as PINTU FC strolled 8-1. Alvin Tandias also registered his first goal for PINTU FC. Against SIM A, PINTU FC were able to hang in to the 2-1 win, despite severe pressure towards the end of the game. The highlight of this game is beautiful goal scored by Alvin Kennardi, gunning down through the goal from the left flank.

Then, PINTU FC recorded an impressive 5-2 victory against third placed KUMIS. Andhita scored a beautiful acrobatic volley kick  and Hans Saleh made his third hattrick of the tournament in this match. On the last match, despite battling hard against PINUS, PINTU FC went down 2-1. PINTU FC could've sealed a draw result, had Christiandy's shot not hitting the crossbar.

This year team might not possess the strong defence the previous team had, conceding an average of 1.78 goals per game. But, as the different strategy was deployed on the field, the goalscorers are spread, not only dependent on one person. Everyone could score a goal, only three players were unable to score a goal, and two of them are goalkeeper.

Hans is still leading the spearhead of the team, scoring 14 goals from 9 games. Reza Raditya was a deadly finisher on the left flank, scoring 11 goals for PINTU FC, as he played his last tournament for PINTU FC. Andhita was always threatening with his long range shot. Alvin Kennardi played the deep role well, and was never run out of breath among all the PINTU FC player. Eugene made a vast improvement throughout the tournament.

Christiandy and Virvandy brought a different style of play from the bench. Both of them are quick footed, and possessed a great technique. Christiandy even made one magical goal against PSB A. Alvin Tandias was able to support attack more - and even scored one goal -, and defensively improved, while Ericko was not losing his brilliant keeping skills. Dillon showed some promise as a defender, and should have a bright future ahead.

PINTU FC also wants to thank supporter from PINTU, who had come to support to the team from NTU throughout the tournament. It was a great atmosphere from the supporter, and the players were delighted to play in front of supporters.

5-2 Andhita

PINTU FC and KUMIS battled in such an intense - but entertaing - game, in the matchday 5 of Liga PPIS 2012 in Jurong West Sport and Recreation Center. Both team showed flair and created many chances in front of goal, but it was PINTU FC who came out of the top in this match, with 5 goals to 2.

PINTU FC opened the score within two minutes, after Hans Saleh did a round releasing himself from a defender and fired it low to the far post, leaving KUMIS' Keeper, Howard, rooted on the near post. 1-0. KUMIS reacted quickly after that goal. They had one great chance when a cross failed to meet any of player in front of goal, and forced Eugene to make one good save. However, KUMIS equalized within few minutes after the goal, after they got another chance, with one of their player ran towards Eugene, just to see the ball tipped by the keeper, before hitting the post, but another KUMIS player was there to take the rebound ball, and slotted it past Alvin Kennardi, whose effort to clear the ball of the line was futile, as the ball was hit hard and high.

That goal was like a wake-up alarm for PINTU FC, and they slowly got the grip of the game, dominating possession like usual. They came close as Reza chipped the ball wide from the goal, and Alvin Kennardi made two chances from his usual pump, but the keeper made great saves to deny it. Finally, the awaited goal came as Andhita made an acrobatic first time shot to the left side of the goal, leaving the keeper shocked, and didn't move from the middle of the goalpost. 2-1. 

PINTU FC got the most of possession after this goal, but KUMIS' defence was sturdy to withstand the attack. PINTU FC got a chance, when Reza was one-on-one with Howard, but the keeper made brilliant job to shut Reza's shot. KUMIS also created a chance to equalize, but Eugene was there to deny a one-on-one chance and kept the rebound out of goal

Hans Saleh made the second goal of his in this game, shooting the bottom corner of the goal, after receiving a neat pass, 3-1. First half ended with 3-1 scoreline.

KUMIS pressed well in the early of second half, as Hans were substituted, leaving PINTU FC only able to pump the ball forward aimlessly. They were creating chances, but their finishing wasn't there. They almost made it 3-2, when their striker failed to put the ball into the goal from two yards from goal, the second chance as they got a one on one chance, but Eugene made a superb save to deflect the ball, before the ball hitting the crossbar, and cleared by Alvin Kennardi. Eugene made another good save with his right foot, as the ball was smashed to the far post.

However, after the reintroduction of Hans Saleh, they started to regain control of the game again. He nearly got another goal, as his long shot skimmed over the bar just by few centimetres. Hans Saleh finally completed his hattrick and extend PINTU FC's lead to three.

As the clock ticking down, KUMIS withdraw their keeper, and replacing him with a defender, playing as a keeper, to dominate the game more, as in they played five outfield and no keeper. However, it was PINTU FC who added more goal. Hans Saleh completed his hattrick as he went to a nice position, with only the keeper to beat, and he made no mistake to calmly put the ball to the bottom right of the goal. 4-1. The decision to fielded five outfield players paid off as they grabbed their second goal of the game, giving them a glimpse of hope. 4-2

However, on the dying moments, Andhita sealed PINTU FC's victory with his second goal of the game. He dribbled pass one defender before putting the ball into the empty net, as the keeper was venturing forward on that time. 5-2. The full time whistle is blown, leaving KUMIS locked in the third place, while PINTU FC and PINUS are deciding their fate in the penultimate fixture in the Liga PPIS 2012.

PINTU FC 1 PINUS 2

0-1

0-2

1-2 PINUS' own goal

It was the real final to decide the winner of Liga PPIS. PINTU FC were leading on the first place, before the match, while PINUS in the second place,  just behind by goal difference. 

PINTU FC dominated the game in the early stages, forcing PINUS to defence. However PINUS was rock at the backline, giving no room to shot, and PINTU FC didn't get any clear cut chances, with only getting several corners, which unfortunately not leading to a goal. Most of the ball thrown forward could be denied by PINUS defender, even before reaching the keeper. PINTU FC's long shot wasn't too accurate, in this match.

PINTU FC committed some fouls and almost given a team foul in the first half. PINUS finally took a lead when one of their striker put the ball to far post, after receiving the ball on the left side of PINTU FC's defence, and penetrating, leaving Eugene no chance to save the shot. 0-1 now.

The second half was more intense. PINTU FC throwed more man forward, and PINUS were more comfortable in counter atttack. PINUS created chances, and almost added the second, before Christiandy did a last ditch tackle, resulting in corner. However, PINUS finally grabbed the second goal, after smashing the ball to the top of the goal, 0-2. PINUS could've added the third, but Eugene made a great double save to keep PINTU FC on the game.

Christiandy's introduction gave a different dimension for PINTU FC, and PINTU FC started making more chances. Andhita came close as his shot saved by the keeper, while Hans Saleh was unable to release a shot in front of goal, as the defender came quickly to denied Hans. Alvin Kennardi could've done better with one unmarked position on the left flank, but it was unclear whether he wanted to cross or shot, as the ball heading nowhere. Finally, PINTU FC got the goal to reduce the deficit to one goal, as confusion in the front of goal leading to an own goal by PINUS player. 1-2, and PINTU FC pressed more in search of equalizing goal.

Christiandy came close scoring twice for PINTU FC, as his shot denied by a nice save by PINUS Keeper, and once denied by the crossbar, to the disappointment of PINTU FC's supporter. However, until the final whistle, the scoreline remained.

It was an even game, with both team sreating chances, and could've easily gone either way, but on this occassion, it was PINUS who came out as a winner, and PINTU FC have to be contented with the second place in Liga PPIS 2012, despite the encouraging display throughout the tournament.

PINTU FC, who needed at least four goals to dethrone PINUS from the top of the table,  got more than what they required, as they beat SIM B by eight goals to one. Despite the whopping scoreline, it was not walk-in-the-park game, as SIM B was giving some resistance until early of second half before being undone in the later stage of the game.

As usual, PINTU FC took the control of the game from the start of the first half. Hans finally broke the deadlock after receiving a corner from Reza Raditya. Hans smashed the ball from the deep, and the keeper was unable to block the shot, 1-0. Reza Raditya doubled the lead after receiving Andhita's perfect pass, and the opposition defender on the goal line wasn't able to stop Reza's composed finish. PINTU FC threatened SIM B's goal from long shot, mostly from Andhita, which unfortunately none of them resulted into a goal.

SIM B wasn't without any chances on the first half. They got one great chance after dubious decision not to blow the whistle despite the ball had gone out of play, and leaving the SIM B player unmarked, as PINTU FC players were expecting the referee to stop the game, but Eugene was there to steal the ball from the striker before he could put it into the net. However, it was another PINTU FC goal happened few moments after that chance, with Virvandy dribbled the ball to the right side of the field, before unleashing a low drive to the bottom corner to make it 3-0 before the half time.

The second half started with SIM B trying to push back PINTU FC, and they finally got one goal back from the left side of PINTU FC's defence, with a fierce low shot into the far post, while Eugene could only tipped it without being able to prevent the goal, 3-1. SIM B saw a glimpse of hope in this game with that goal. They could got another one, when their defender tried to lob Eugene from their own area, but the keeper made a smart catch.

PINTU FC didn't give more time for SIM B to play their game, as PINTU FC regained their control of the game, and Hans restored the three goal lead after a clinical finish on 1-v-1 situation with the keeper.

After that goal, PINTU FC seems to be more comfortable in possession, and the goal were just a matter of time. Reza Raditya added his second goal of the game, making it 5-1, after a simple tap in in the far post, after Hans decided to pass instead of shooting in 1-v-1 situation with the keeper. Reza Raditya completed his hattrick, his second of the game, from a long range shot from centre of the park. Hans Saleh recorded his third goal in the scoresheet, with his powerful long shot to effectively kill the game, 7-1.  Reza Raditya could've easily made a quattrick, had Andhita directed his pass nearer to Reza.

With just few minutes, there were no way back for SIM B to grab a point from this match, but they almost made their second goal, from a kick-off shot, but Ericko, who just entered the fray, made a brilliant save to deny it. Nearing the final whistle, Alvin Tandias broke his duck, making his first goal of his PINTU FC career, being previously twice hitting the crossbar. He got the ball in the far post before slotting the ball to the far post, deflected by the keeper, hitting the crossbar, and back into the net, 8-1. He was relieved to score a goal, and it was a nice addition for the PINTU FC, as the goal difference might be important nearing the end of the season.

The final whistle, 8-1 for PINTU FC, and they are on the top of the table, above NUS, only winning goal difference with same points.







PINTU FC 2 SIM A 1
1-0 Hans Saleh
2-0 Alvin Kennardi
2-1

PINTU FC were able to come on top in a tight game against SIM A, who had a slim chance to win the competition before the match. It was a tense game until the end of the match, with both teams created chances on both ends, and the scoreline could've easily been different.

SIM A started the game brightly, getting a nice position to release a shot forcing Eugene to make a save, before Alvin Kennardi put the ball into the safe area. They were playing the ball to the wing, giving their no 7, Rafael Andrew to run to ball, which Alvin Kennardi could deal with it well.

After getting the grip of the game, PINTU FC could've opened the goal, had Andhita's ball to the far post met Reza's feet. Finally, PINTU FC opened the score from a nice shot outside the keeper area, after jinked pass one defender, and unleased a fierce drive to the left side of the goal, leaving keeper no chance to save it. Alvin Kennardi made his second goal of the tournament, from a counter attack, in a 3 vs 1 situation with the defender. Andhita, who was holding the ball, gave a perfect pass to Alvin Kennardi, who was running down the right flank, and he smashed it to the left bottom corner in the far post, making it 2-0.

The game was getting quite tense, Hans got kicked in the shinbone, forcing him to get treatment from the medic. SIM A were playing quite hard, but PINTU FC were able to deal with it in the first half. The first half ended with PINTU FC's two goal lead.

On the second half, SIM A implemented different gameplay, as they deployed a direct ball to utilize their striker's height and strength. They constantly pumping the ball directly to the dangerous area, and made several dangerous attempt from header. And it was from header, they climbed one back. From a long ball from the keeper, the striker made a slight, but important touch to find the net, as Eugene was rooted on the spot, 2-1.

This one goal difference made the game much more interesting, and both team got chances on both ends. SIM A made numerous long shot, but none of them on target, and instead, they got their dangerous chances mostly from header, one of their header just inches away from the top corner of the goal. PINTU FC could've restored their two goals lead, had the keeper not flying to save Reza's superb long shot from the central circle of the field.

On the remaining time, SIM A throwed man forward, but they were unable to find the equalizer, despite some nervy moments on PINTU FC's defence. The final whistle was blown, once Andhita hit the ball to the row Z, with the final scoreline 2-1.

SIM were the one who beat PINTU FC in the Olymppic last year, and they were the one who stopped PINTU Surga in HOA, but this time, it was PINTU FC, who secured important three points. With this defeat SIM A were out of the first place's race and PINTU FC to resolve the three horse race in Liga PPIS 2012 in the last matchday, when PINTU FC meet the joint leader PINUS, and the thrid place KUMIS on their last match.

He shot into the net, and Alvin, who attempted to clear the ball of the line, can only deflect the ball to the right side of goal. The referee didn't rule out the goal even though the keeper was obstructed, and the scoreline changed into 2-2. After that dubious decision, PINTU FC lost the focus, and Kaplan took that chance to score another goal quickly after the equalizer goal.

PINTU FC came close scoring twice nearing the end of the game. With Reza Raditya, unmarked, received a nice through ball from Hans Saleh, but the first name cannot beat the goalkeeper. Hans Saleh could've sealed the game should his one on one chance not wasted. Hans did another turning to release himself from a defender, and face the keeper one on one. However, Hans were only able to shoot it directly to the keeper.

PINTU FC asked for time out nearing the end of the game to lower the tension of the game. Kaplan aggressively closed down PINTU's player, but they failed to find any equalizer again.

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.

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.

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.

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.
