PINTU FC HOA 2013 Short Review.

PINTU FC came back from the HOA with a pride. From four teams sent to HOA, three of them was able to go to semifinal, while SIXERS (PINTU FC Alumni Team) came out as a winner through an all PINTU final against PINTU FBT. PINTU Ajaib went through semifinal before losing against PINTU SIXERS. PINTU Hura Hura put a brave display against SpringDale, despite being in losing side. It was an eventful tournament for PINTU FC. Hari Olahraga Amal provided a great experience, especially for freshies, as this is their first time representing PINTU FC.

SIXERS (PINTU FC Alumni Team)
vs Sambal Sasa 4-1 (Reza, Vifo 2x, Hans)
vs Tam 1-0 (Hans)
vs KUMIS 5-0 (Hans, Vifo, Reza 3x)
vs PINTU Ajaib 5-0 (Reza 3x, Hans, Mario)
vs PINTU FBT 1-0 (Hans Saleh)

SIXERS consisted of Alumni of PINTU FC, and they were considered favourite from the beginning. Well, they finally were able to triumph the competition via an all PINTU final, 1-0 agaisnt PINTU FBT. They were playing very well from the start of the tournament, as they scored 16 goals throughout the tourname, only allowing 1 goal for the opposition. 4-1, 1-0, 5-0, 5-0, and 1-0. That were the scoreline for them in this tournament.

Ericko was brilliant on the between the post, pulling strings of wonderful saves, and was never conceded for the whole tournament. Nino Aquinas was rock on the backline, while trio Reza Raditya - Vincent Forest - Hans Saleh were fearsome upfront. Mario and Gerry was always become the hardworker, while Suqro did a good job to cover Ericko Yang.

PINTU FBT
vs Kaplan 3-1 (OG, Andhita 2x)
vs MDC 6-3 (Christiandy, Andhita 2x, Alvin Kennardi, OG, Felix)
vs SpringDale 3-1 (Andhita, Tandias, Felix)
vs PINTU SIXERS 0-1

PINTU FBT improved a lot, mentally, as they twice came back from behind on their first two match, to beat Kaplan and MDC. It was a vast improvement. Kaplan might have stolen the goal earlier on, but PINTU FBT were able to hit three against them to book the Quarterfinal game. During the match against MDC in the quarterfinal, where they eventually won 6-3 they were also not only coming from behind, but faced a thrilling game, while twice their lead has been levelled, but they showed the right attitude and mentality to win the game.

Andhita kicked the ball (photos from HOA facebook page)

Eugene was much more confident in front of the goal, despite his mistake in the final, while Andhita Dananjaya found his joy of scoring and threatening on the field. Felix Fennardi finally scored his first goal for PINTU FC, breaking his egg for not scoring for few matches. Christiandy grew as stature as a captain. Alvin Tandias were getting stronger, physically and mentally. David Sinjaya and Junaidy Lukman were always ready to come in. Alvin Kennardi is getting better as he grew older.

PINTU Ajaib
vs BriteLite 5-0 (Billy 2x, Channing 2x, Dinar)
vs Mimisan 4-0 (Channing 3x, Wiswa)
vs PINTU SIXERS 0-5

Ajaib means "miracle" and this team made it in this tournament. Freshies team usually failed on early stage, but they were able to go to semifinal, before stopped by the Champions, SIXERS. They scored five past BriteLite and four past Mimisan to go to the semifinal. Especially against Mimisan, where the opposition were a strong NUS team, they were playing very well. They were dominating and creating more chances, and eventually scored four against them.

Channing was clinical in front of goal. He scored five goals just in three games. Billy, Yonathan, and Irvan were always composed holding the ball. Wiswa provided trickery upfront, and Dinar was a supersub in the game, scoring one goal from the bench. Mario Sandi can play everywhere in the team and gave the team depth. Jose was brilliant between the post as he recorded two straight cleansheet in this tournament. A bright future for the team, indeed.

PINTU Ajaib, ajaib as it is

PINTU Hura Hura
vs SpringDale 1-2 (Benny)

PINTU Hura Hura before the match

They might have not progressed far, but they showed glimpse of promise from the team. Adrian Prayoga should be proud of his performance as a goalkeeper. He made fantastic saves in the match, and hardly blamed for the goal. Arga and Chiko was solid on the back. 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.

FINAL

SIXERS vs PINTU FBT 1-0

Before the Match

SIXERS won the Hari Olahraga Amal 2013 after beating PINTU FBT 1-0, via Hans goal on the last minute, capitalizing Eugene's mistake. It was otherwise a tight game, with SIXERS had more chances but failed to find the net until the last minute.

The tension in the final match

 PINTU FBT defended well, as Hans and Vifo didn't have much spaces to manouver on the pitch. Vincent Forest did make a great run twice but Eugene was quick to leave his line and made a great block to deny the goal. The match itself didn't have much clear cut chances as most of the battle in the middle is very intense. PINTU FBT got one great chance when Felix broke free and had a room to shot, but Ericko made a terrific stop to deny Felix. First half ended with 0-0. Second half was no different than first half, as the game is getting tighter. Vincent Forest got one chance again, but Eugene was there to deny it. As the clock was ticking and everyone thought it was going to be a penalty shootout, Eugene made a fatal mistake as he gave the ball to Andhita who lost the possession to Hans. The later name made no mistake to smashed the ball, leaving Eugene no chance to save it. 1-0, and the final whistle is blown by the referee. SIXERS won the game and the competition, while Hans Saleh and Reza Raditya won their second consecutive HOA after winning it last year.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
