Can't Fight Fate
5th minute: Persibat wins a dangerous throw in in the Kendari Utama final third, it's thrown towards the corner flag and for a second everyone must've thought they were going to try and win a corner kick, but no, it's crossed to Hartono, he makes a surge forward into the far corner of our penalty box and drives it in low and hard! It gets a touch off our defender which must've confused goalkeeper Gunawan and it bounces in!
Goal Persibat!
28th minute: Persibat wins the corner and they float it in towards the far post, the Persibat centre back has got his head to the ball! It hits the underside of the crossbar, and bounces... In!! Half an inch higher and Kendari would be breathing relief!!
Goal Persibat!
Kendari Utama seem to be crumbling under the pressure, their efforts for the past season will have all been for nothing if they lose it here, can they redeem themselves?!
34th minute: Edi Suwondo pushes forward and tackles well as he wins the ball off a Persibat striker, he plays a lob throughball ahead of midfield dynamo Roni Basri, Roni Basri surges down the Persibat left flank, can he make it past his man?!
Yes, he beats the defender and puts in a far post cross from the Persibat byline. Mahmud Soputan, Kendari's top goalscorer is within reach, can he score one more for his team? He gets his head to the ball! The header drops in low, the keeper dives but it evades him!
Goal Kendari Utama!
They've pulled one back! Can they make it count?
75th minute: Corner for Kendari Utama taken by Agus Salim Setiawan the young fullback, he aims for the far post but it falls short, poor delivery! Persibat defenders are on it in an instant but Edi Suwondo reads the game well, pulling the ball back and sending it back to Setiawan for another go, he crosses the ball first time, this time the delivery is good! Rahmad Prasetyo, Edi's explosive defense partner is in the area... He jumps, great contact with the ball! And it flies into the corner of the goal!
Goal Kendari Utama!
A superb fightback! They've drawn level, from 2-0 down to 2-2!
Final score: Persibat 2 - 2 Kendari
