There is already Cipto on the left side running as hard as possible trying to reach a fast-rolling ball. In front of him there is already a limit to the opposing player numbered 4, Algi.

The ball was immediately tackled out of the field which made Cipto run gradually stopped. The attack from the first second must be broken first and does not produce dangerous opportunities.

“Good! Continue again! Press, press them!” Coach Sofyan gave the direction with a shout.

An immediate counterattack was launched when the Hope High School formation was a little messy. One-two passes from the opponent ravaged the Harapan High School midfield, until Reno, the SMKN 2 attacking midfielder made a breakthrough pass splitting the defense.

I Nyoman, the number 7 player ran as hard as he could until he got the ball. He also confronted Reza!

Reza doesn't mind, he closes I Nyoman's firing room. Suddenly during a small movement from I Nyoman, Reza jumped up because of this hanging ball.

The ball is pushed to produce a corner kick. The rescue just stopped the spectators breathing for a while. I Nyoman was upset with Reza.

“Arrgh! Tai!” Unable to curse, he immediately took his place right at the far post from the right corner kick side.

There, who took the corner kick was the SMKN 2 winger, his short posture, Rama, taking a swing to lift the ball.

When the whistle is blown, he runs and throws the ball up. There, Haikal collided with I Nyoman. He was a little late who made his jump too few centimeters.

Reza jumps like a dolphin and dumps the ball for a second time. The ball goes back into the air and out of the field.

New dimenit 5, SMKN 2 already has 2 kicks on target. Showing just how scary SMKN 2 is now and they are sure to be the strongest opponents of High School Hope in the Youth Tournament.

“Woy! Get defense!” reza shouted so annoyed.

It was good to look at Reza while nodding his head. Everyone is back for the second corner kick.

Meanwhile, on the side of the field of the Harapan High School chair, there their hearts were racing waiting for the second corner kick. Riyandi was even a little enthusiastic and shouted loudly.

“Hard them, Reza!!!”

His shout was greeted by the cold gaze of coach Sofyan. He was silent too.

Then, the ball again glued Rama to the penalty box. There, Bagus jumped as hard as he could and got it, even though he dueled with I Nyoman which was quite high than Good.

Good to cheat the ball forward, and greeted by Jaka who immediately ran as hard as possible in this counter-attack. He ran, a few meters behind there was Teguh who asked for the ball.

Jaka returned the ball to the back before running back. Firmly then give a flat bait splitting defense SMKN 2!

The ball passes between the defenders, Jaka manages to get the ball. Momentum here broke.

However, unexpectedly, sleding tackle from the defender who passed the ball earlier saved the goal SMKN 2 temporarily. Ball out field.

A sigh of relief from the SMKN 2 audience was heard, but the words with a disappointed tone from the Hope High School audience. The lightning-fast momentum unfortunately did not produce a score.

The corner kick was launched, but not so dangerous to the goal Ilman.

The ball is rolling back at the feet of SMKN 2 players, they are so good at playing the ball as they wish. Unexpectedly the midfield as well as the back line of Hope High School, the flat ball was suddenly thrown back by Reno which made it vacant again.

“Get!!!” reza shouted so annoyed.

However, what power, I Nyoman is already inside the penalty box and off the offside trap. I Nyoman is back against Reza.

Reza advanced slowly as he prepared for the attack. I Nyoman advanced slowly, intending to trick Reza with her gorgeous dribbling.

He moved the ball to the left side which made Reza must immediately pounce on the ball. He did not hit the ball at all, but I Nyoman's feet.

I Nyoman fell, the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.

Sontak Bagus approached the referee trying to refute the recent foul, but Reza grabbed Bagus and said a word that stunned him.

“What a stroke, Brother Nice. If I can catch this penalty kick, treat me to a quick meal.” The joke was taken seriously by Bagus.

Finally the feud between the referee and Good ended. Players gather around the bow of the outer circle of the penalty box.

Meanwhile, I Nyoman prepares behind the ball. Reza also immediately shouted out loudly.

“Harrghh!!” His roar was like a hypnotist, he intimidated I Nyoman.

The whistle goes, I Nyoman is running small with a little zig-zag. Then the inner right foot immediately hits the ball. The ball is shot into the top corner of the goal.

Reza guesses the ball groove correctly, he jumps like a tiger pouncing on its prey, Reza's fingers touching the ball exactly!

The ball does not go into the goal, the ball goes out of the field!

“BANGKEEE!!” the swearing of I Nyoman sounded very loud.
