Jakarta vs Deli Serdang
Jakarta's inability to finish could end up costing them big time. Against the team holding all the rest up, the Jak huffed and they puffed and they hit the bar many a time but could only bulge the net on once occassion, admittedly a sweetly taken volley, early in the second half. You can't help but think against sterner opposition they would have been made to pay. As it was the North Sumatran visitors had an effort cleared off the line and in the dying stages spurned a chance to share the points when a simple header went the wrong side of the crossbar.
Still, 19 goals in 21 games don't lie. Jakarta have played more games than their nearest rivals, Semarang and Arema Malang, with the latter having 4 games in hand! Football success is a fragile thing, look how close West Ham to Cup Final success on Saturday and while Jakarta may argue on another day they could have scored 5 or 6, cold hard facts tell us they are no mor likely to go nap than I am to buy a round for everyone in BuGils on a Tuesday night. Deli Serdang would with justificationalso claim they were unlucky not to come away with a point. The fact remains games are running out for Jakarta, they need to starting converting more. Maybe they should sign Christian Gonzales, Kediri's free scoring forward who has scored more than the whole Kemayoran Tigers team have.
