Results 31/10
Indonesia Super League
Persema v Pelita Jaya 2-2 (Mustapha Reza, Seme Pierre Patrick; Walter Brizuela, Abdul Rahman) 5,000)
Splish splash, I was talking a bath. Should the game have gone ahead? The pitch bore more resemblance to a pissy swimming pool in an underfunded 4* hotel. Probably not but Indonesian football operates under a different set of rules to most countires and for once I'm not being acerbic. In most countries teams travel to away games by bus because distances are short. Even in England there is no reason at all why Premier League teams cannot travel overland beyond the pose factor. In Indonesia nearly every away game is a two or three hour flight with the attendant costs of moving around upwards of 25 people.
As a fixture this is probably the closest Indonesian football can get to the SLeague. Two clubs that at least try and do the right thing. Well, they don't complain too much when they lose at home. It's all pretty polite stuff with polite challenges and polite greetings. Even the fans have an almost Singapore thing about them. Complain loudly when things go wrong, make unfunny jokes, that sort of thing. ISL Lite!
Oh, the game. Considering the field and the Discovery camera crew that were filming a newly discovered spieces of frog in one goal mouth it weren't that bad. Both teams went for the points and the match officials must have been dead chuffed to have drawn such an easy day at the office.
Reza gave Persema the lead with a neat diving header from a free kick. Pierre Patrick Seme made it 2-0 with 10 minutes left. Bima Sakti took a free kick from about 25 yards that bounced just in front of the visiting keeper. He spilled the ball and Seme was there, Ruud van Nistlerppy style, to slam home the rebound.
But Persema were not home and dry. In fact no-one was dry though some of the Persema players' shirts did look pretty fresh! Two goals in two minutes, dunno who 'cos even the commentators on TV got them wrong, meant Pelita Jaya had completed the biggest smash n grab since mabel, as a lairy teenager, accidently on purpose smashed a bottle of orange juice in a mini mart in Joo Chiat and her friends grabbed as many women magazines off the shelf as they could in the confusion.
Reza could have won the game in the last minute but he missed an open goal from a couple of yards out at an acute angle but twas not to be.
Arema v Semen Padang (Dendi Santoso, Yongki Aribowo, Pierre Njanka; Yu Hyun Koo) 10,396
Three up for the champions in 20 minutes. Semen Padang's first defeat of the season and, coincidently, their first away game of the season.
Persipura v Deltras 2-0 (Stevie Bonisapia, Paulin Pierre Bhio) 19,692
Two goals in the last 10 minutes for Persipura kept their fine start to the season going. No last minute penalties to save Deltras out in distant Jayapura. Wonder why that was?
Persiwa v Persela 0-0 14,325
Unbelievable! Back to back home draws for Persiwa, the team who were all but flawless at their Pendidikan Stadium for so long.
PSM v Bontang 1-0 (Korinus Finkreuw) 14,051
1-0 to PSM again but they won't care as they sit second in the table four points behind the leaders Persipura with a game in hand
Persiba v Persisam 2-0 (Robertinho, Eki Nurhakim) 6,750
