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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
