Olymppic 2015 Review

PINTU FC bowed out of the tournament despite showing a very encouraging performance in the Group Stage. Four points from 1 win and 1 draw from 3 games was not enough to claim a place in semifinal as MAPIA had one point more from PINTU FC.

PINTU FC vs MAPIA 3-3

PINTU FC came back from three goals down to grab a 3-3 draw against MAPIA, which repeats the scoreline of the previous meeting against MAPIA in the Liga PPIS 2014. PINTU FC started the game well, dominating possession and creating chances. Yonathan and Channing were pretty close to opens the score. Channing attempted an overhead kick from Irvan's cross, but his attempt was not accurate. On the other end Jose was required to make an important touch on a through ball. However, they conceded the opener as one of MAPIA's striker sneak past David and Pentium through a counter attack from PINTU FC's corner, 0-1. They conceded another goal as they failed to mark MAPIA's no 7 who unleashed a venomous strike to Jose's goal, 0-2. Christiandy could have grabbed one back as he got into 1v1 chance against the opposition keeper but the shot stopper was on upper hand this time. The first half ended with PINTU FC conceded twice without scoring any.

On the second half, MAPIA scored yet another goal as the same person who scored the second goal grabbed another goal, 0-3. MAPIA defended very deep to defend their lead, but Christiandy Franciscus was able to move to the right side of the goal before slammed the ball over keepers body to make it 1-3. He scored another one from corner as the keeper failed to properly claim the ball. The ball bounced to the post and Christiandy Franciscus came first to rebound the ball 2-3. After another few chances, PINTU FC finally equalized after Reinardus Channing received Jose's excellent throw, before putting it past the keeper, 3-3. On the dying minutes, Alvin Jonathan got a chance to win the game from the freekick after the opposition keeper hold the ball for too long, but his shot was denied by the defender. 3-3 is the final scoreline, but this failure to get more goals would proved costly in the future.

PINTU FC vs INSIM A 1-2

It was another catch-up game for the team but PINTU FC failed to equalize in the dying minutes despite the momentum against one of the contenders INSIM A. PINTU FC received few attacks on the first half. Jose Giovanni made a fine save from a shot in the area. However, they conceded shortly after as Adrian made a smart move to finish from a corner, 0-1 PINTU FC conceded another goal in few minutes after, as David Sinjaya was nutmegged by INSIM player before Jose was beaten on the tight angle, 0-2. Half time was ended with PINTU FC trailing two goals, though generally they defended well against INSIM's attack. Jose Giovanni has been particularly well to make few brave saves on the first half.

Second half was different, though, as PINTU FC pressed very high to force INSIM defend in their area and could not develop their game. PINTU FC coach, Alvin Kennardi deployed surprise tactical gamble which almost paid off. Alvin Tandias, played as striker, reduced the deficit to one goal after he did turn INSIM's last man to beat the keeper. PINTU FC kept pushing forward and throwing bodies to the prime area nearing the end of the game, leaving Irvan Indra as the last man, though he did his job pretty well. He nearly sent off at the death as he pushed INSIM's Adrian, but the referee was lenient, as the crowd shouting Irvan as a "good boy who went church". Until the final whistle, despite few chances, PINTU FC was unable to claim the equalizer. It was one of the game where INSIM were pushed back and could not play as they like.

PINTU FC vs KUNCI 4-1

It was a need-win game for both teams if they wanted to qualify, if MAPIA lost against INSIM. PINTU FC dominated the game from the beginning, and got the front foot of the game as they scored goal within few minutes of the opening, as Reinardus Channing scored the goal from Irvan's assist, 1-0. He smashed the ball on the far post following a nice team play by PINTU FC. Few minutes later, Alvin Jonathan calmly put the ball past the keeper, receiving Christiandy's tidy pass, 2-0. Yonathan Eldrian could have added the third but his shot was wide off the target when he had one on one chance. PINTU FC Keeper Eugene Sebastian got hit in the head during the scramble as he received treatment and substituted, but he was okay and could continue the game after the break. 

On the second half, KUNCI tried to get something out of the game and they tried to dominate the game. However, it was PINTU FC who had real chance on the second half. Alvin Jonathan stole the ball down the left and sent the ball to Chaning, but as he pulled the trigger, his shot was well blocked by the defender. KUMIS finally clawed one back after Eugene failed to stop a shot through the middle, 2-1. Arief lost the possession in his own area before one of KUNCI player released a wicked shot to beat the keeper. However, Irvan Indra quickly restored the two goals lead through a powerful freekick deflected by the wall to the goal. 3-1 Reinardus Channing locked the game as he put the ball to the net after  a nice team play, assisted by Alvin Tandias, 4-1. As the referee blow the whistle, PINTU FC won the match, but not the qualification to the next round. This match also was the final match for all the four year students in the squad: Eugene Sebastian, Alvin Tandias, and David Sinjaya.

Malvin and Benny was powerful upfront, while Steven and Joshua Vincent showed quite technical skills. Gregorius Marco was versatile and can play everywhere upfront there.

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.

PINTU FC HOA 2012 Short Review

PINTU FC come back to NTU with Pride after winning HOA 2012. This victory was complimented by PINTU's team in captain's ball, who won that competition to repeat the feat of 2010, when PINTU grabbed double winner in HOA.

PINTU Ke Mana Saja showed a brilliant performance throughout the tournament. An average of 3.6 goals per game, plus 0.2 goals allowed per game, PINTU Ke Mana Saja played an attractive passing game, as well as deploying some quick counter attack . Alvin Kennardi was not only very solid at the backline, showing a very good anticipation, but also was always there to receive the pass. Hans was the spearhead of the team, and he justified his no 10 of the team with his excellent skills. His dribbling was great, and always had an eye for goal, scoring 9 goals in 5 match, 7 of them scored in the knock out stage.

Reza "Icop" Raditya was very dynamic, sharp in front of goal, and giving some assists, but in the other hand, strong defensive wise. Virvandy was always there to make impact from the bench with his flair dribbling skills. Gihon added different dimension with his prime ball control. Alvin Tandias was originally a defender, but his direct running had been causing some trouble for the opposition, nearly scoring one goal in semifinal. Eugene showed vast improvement from last year Olymppic.

PINTU Surga was missing a lot of first team, but still put an impressive performance on group stage, unbeaten on three games in the group stage, winning two of them, while drawing the other one. In the first match, a brace from Mario sank Uno, while in the second match, they recorded a 2-1 thrilling victory versus Image, before being held 0-0 by SJI Old Boys.

Malindo was rock on the backline, while Raymond was fearless challenging the opposition player to break the attack. Suqro and Ericko ensured safety between the post. Gerry was anywhere on the field, while Adhit often made sudden off-the-ball movement unnoticed by the opposition. Mario scored some important goals in the group stage, such as the last-minute winner against Image.

Raymond chasing the ball

PINTU Terlarang, which mostly consists of freshies, showed some promise despite not qualifying for next round.  Ole was held 1-1 in the first match by them, before losing 0-2 against The Kaps despite showing a great effort in that match.

Hudi was heroic between the post, as he made numerous of great saves, especially in the first match. Dillon has the potential to be a ball playing defender, while Junaidy was never afraid to dribble the ball pass the opponent. Christiandy showed some glimpse of skills and flair, while Benny showed his composure in front of goal.
