Divisi Utama Play Offs Latest
Two groups on going, one in Jayapura, the other East Kalimantan.
1 - Persidafon 2 2 0 0 6-3 6
2 - Persiram 2 1 0 1 3-3 3
3 - Persiraja 2 1 0 1 2-3 6
4 - Gresik United 2 0 0 3-5 0
Persidafon are through to the semi finals. The second place is up for grabs between Persiram and Persiraja with the 2nd placed team from Raja Ampat holding all the aces. Persiraja, who travelled the furtherest, must beat Persidafon in their final game and hope Gresik United can at least hold Persiram to an unlikely draw.
1 - Mitra Kukar 2 1 1 0 3-1 4
2 - PSAP 2 0 2 0 1-1 2
3 - Persiba 2 0 2 0 0-0 2
4 - PSMS 2 0 0 1 2-4 0
You see, this is what I genuinely don't understand about football in Indonesia. PSAP and Persiba scored goals for home during the season with PSAP netting 24 in one three home game run. Osas Marvelous (PSAP) and Udo Fortune (Persiba) were two of the top scorers in the whole Divisi Utama. Yet now, playing far from home, they firing blanks. I don't get it, I tell thee, I just don't get it.
Mitra Kukar should overcome PSAP with home advantage, yeah I know, fair play n all that, while many will be sitting on the fence for PSMS against Persiba with both teams in with an outside chance. PSMS bring tradition and glamour while Persiba would bring thousands to the near by Manahan Stadium for any semi final
Also, odd how the hosts are top of each group.
