Group 4 (MD3)
Ziwana 4–1 Springmont
Springmont scorer: Bob Mayfirth p.

Group 4 (MD4)
Belfitz 3–3 Springmont
Springmont scorer: Noah Crownfish x2, Mark Fjetland

The maturity of Springmont striker Noah Crownfish began to gain the trust of manager Kristofer Donatis when he was listed in the national squad's starting line-up. The belief was reciprocated by Noah Crownfish's brilliant performance when he helped the Springmont squad beat Kencana, and draw with Belfitz. The strong coupling of Noah Crownfish, Bob Mayfirth and Alan Compton in front not only dominated the division by absorbing all the opposing players, but also managed to strategize to launch the attack.

However, the Shipbrough-born player is still not satisfied with the pattern of his game and is confident of being able to perform better if given the opportunity to play in the starting line-up.

"Indeed, that is my dream with Springmont. But I can not be too comfortable because I have to work hard because all the players are the best and the competition is fierce to grab a place. "The list of players is the decision of the coach. As a player, I can only give my best in training and if dropped in a real match, ”he said. For recorded, Crownfish beg 10 goal in Under 18 World Championship (SWC 11).

The national squad, on the other hand, needs to repair the defensive wall to avoid the same mistakes by conceding four goals against Ziwana, and three goals in a draw with Belfitz. Springmont manager Kristofer Donatis, also needs to be more courageous to diversify tactics if a key player is injured and misses any match due to the absence of Jonathan McColsom, who did not play in the last match due to injury.

MD12 Analyst
One goal. That was the only number of goals displayed in the focus match in the 12th week of the 2020 Springmont Super League competition. Of course the smartest team taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes, will emerge as the winner. Nelayan FC still maintain the 4-3-3 formation which has managed to give a return since the last Liga Kampung. The Perlabuhan Suasapura started with a 4-3-2-1 formation, and their pattern of play changed as they entered the defensive phase.

Our analysis this time emphasizes how Muluk Kecubung neutralizes the Nelayan FC attack which before this match, can be considered successful. While in the attack phase, Perlabuhan Suasapura is in action with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Sundang Kasa teamed up with Agus Rajawali in the middle, forming a two-pivot system although Agus Rajawali was given more freedom to advance to the front of the attack.

A definite focus is also given to the new face in this Perlabuhan Suasapura squad, namely Alf Tarrenwinds. In this match, Tarrenwinds played the role as the No.10 player, playing behind Roy Peacesun while flanked by Kati Purba on the left wing and Lanti Laanting on the right. There are some things that caught our attention during the match, especially in terms of changes in the formation and tactics of Muluk Kecubung in absorbing the threat faced by the Perlabuhan Suasapura. If the original position is a reference, Sundang Kasa is a defensive midfielder.

But in the game system to help neutralize the threat of Nelayan FC, especially from Haruan Tasek, there are times, Sundang Kasa acts as a half-back. This system will make Perlabuhan Suasapura form 5 players at the back.

Sundang Kasa's position allowed Hebat Pertiwi and Kaseh Telipot to control the threat from Pelaga Bijana or Todak Hitam who tried to exploit the half-space area in the first half. In addition to keeping the defensive center area compact, tactical instructions on the side of the field also attracted our attention. Perlabuhan Suasapura attacking machinery is also known for the effectiveness of two wing defenders to run on each side.

However, in this match, it is very rare for us to see a run from Jati Sugriwa and also Beliong Kasa, especially in the second half of the game. For this, we can see how players like Kati Purba and also Lanti Laanting are given their respective roles to monitor the opposing wing defender. Meanwhile, Jati Sugriwa and Beliong Kasa played a role in controlling Jerung Muda and Jala Hikmat on the left and right of the Nelayan FC attack. Due to that, we often see duel or one-on-one situations involving the four players and making the Perlabuhan Suasapura game system 4-4-1-1 while surviving the second half.

This is also one of Muluk Kecubung's steps to form a compact defensive structure, with the same idea of limiting the ball to Haruan Tasek who acts as an advance forward in the second half of the match. In our opinion, Perlabuhan Suasapura is a better team as a unit in this match. In a match like this the finishing touch is ‘decisive’ when a golden opportunity is hard to come by, it is very important.

SHARKTAIL POST EP 29
AHMAD REMIND THE SUPPORTERS DOES NOT PRESSURE ASRA

Ahmad asked all the fans to give Asra time. Ahmad remind all supporters, whether The blue army or Seri Meranti supporters, should not put pressure on Asra. For the record, Asra's excellent performance with Seri Meranti managed to captivate Sahami to fit himself in the list of national squad players. This is Asra's first season as the club's main goalkeeper after Maxter's transfer to a club in Eraman.

He said Asra is still young, although he played quite well with the Seri Meranti team, but he is still less experienced. "Asra is lucky to be able to play as the main goalkeeper at a young age, but he is still new to this situation and may need some time. Experience quite plays an important role to help a player cope with stress.Many players are given the opportunity to play at a young age, but for a goalkeeper position, it can be a little difficult. Goalkeepers in addition to always being ready at the goal, they must be good at communicating with defenders. Good communication is able to avoid simple mistakes such as collisions, ball passes and dead ball situations. I would also like to remind Asra to be good at communicating and not bouncy quickly. We play as a team, so we need to have a professional attitude."

However, some parties misinterpreted Ahmad's statement to Asra and said Ahmad degrading Asra skill. Ahmad is the main goalkeeper in addition to another existing national goalkeeper, David. Some websites say Ahmad is disappointed because he lost his place in the main squad to Asra. However, Ahmad responded to all the allegations. "All the statements that I stated did not have any feelings of jealousy or the like. I ask all to stop all the speculations. I apologize if my statement is controversial." This got Gaby's attention. Sharktail captain Gaby reminded all supporters not to bring up any story as it could affect team morale. "In the career of a football player, sometimes a comment can make us discouraged and lack confidence. I am worried that some players will be impressed by the statement. I do not want to defend Ahmad in this matter, but we all here know what our role is, no one has the intention to bring anyone down.We always support each other.So, I hope all fans give us positive comments.And I remind the players to avoid any statements that could invite controversy ”. Sharktail will continue their MAC 5 campaign with the third game tomorrow.

3 WINS FROM 3 BUT TUN SENGALANG PETARA NOWHERE TO BE SEEN

KHURTUBH: It has been an amazing journey so far for Eraman in the group stage of the 5th CMFA Melayu Archipelago Cup. The national team recorded 3 victories from its first 3 matches in Southern Palm Islands. This results mean Eraman has qualified to the knockout stage with a game in hand. The final group match between Eraman and Acastanha will decides who will top Group C.

Eraman started the tournament with a convincing 2-0 victory over western neighbour, Samudera Darussalam. The national team then recorded another convincing 3-1 victory over Libonesia, the biggest nation in Melayu Archipelago before beating the host, Southern Palm Islands 2-1 in a hard fought match.

The biggest mystery however is the absence of Tun Sengalang Petara, the national team head coach cum Bendahara of Eraman from the bench. Tun Sengalang Petara arrived in Khurtubh with his delegations a few days after the squad arrived but he is yet to be seen with the squad even during training.

The huge delegation that comes with Tun Sengalang Petara includes the Grand Admiral, Laksamana Selempeta Semarugah and the Chief of Public Security, Temenggung Jaga Sentosa. A few sources mentioned that the delegations are in Southern Palm Islands for non-football related talks. The arrival of Dr. Moises Tullar, President of Springmont in Khurtubh further intensifies the rumours that there is something going on behind the scene between leaders of the region.

For the record, the 5th CMFA Melayu Archipelago Cup was supposed to be held in Havynwilde and Springmont but had to be switched in the last minute to Choudal and Southern Palm Islands after territorial and sea route dispute between the neighbouring Havynwilde and Springmont.

Trolleborg 1 - 4 Ziwana: Johan Dimanche runs riot in brilliant win over Trolleborg.

By Chosadziwa Botolo

ZCOMM Sport in Choudal

Theres a Ziwani proverb that says; "Chimwemwe chilichonse chimatsata kumapazi achisoni" in the vernacular and in english which translates as " Every joy will follow in grief's footsteps". The same can be said about the last two games brilliant performances and wins. On matchday 1 of the CMFA Melayu Cup, Ziwana was disgraced after losing to Belfitz. However after this lose the Akambuku have been at the top of their game beating their opponents in a spectacular fashion in the process scoring 8 goals. The pain of the Belfitz lose has really motivated the players to give their hearts, sweat and blood inorder to bring glory to the Fatherland.

The match between Ziwana and Trolleborg was match both sets of fans were excited for. These two nations are both Baptism of Fire 71 alumni with the Akambuku having being knocked out of the quarter-finals and Trolleborg winning the competition. Ziwana had missed the chance of playing such a strong team that played an attractive attacking style of football. The match between these two nations in the CMFA Cup was going to be a what if BOF 71 Final to see which team was stronger. Of course both sets of manager acknowledged each others strengths. Ziwana were the strongest team in the Melayu Archipelago and had held stronger teams to draws before whilst Trolleborg were ranked 48th in the Multiverse KPB ranking compared to the Akambuku's 76th rank. It was sure going to be an interesting match up.

On the day of the match both teams set up strong line ups with Trolleborg starting; (GK) Kerr, (LB) Laaste, (CB) Troger, (CB) Dushegub, (RB) Wolters, (LM) Kolding, (DM) Groningen, (RM) Finnsnes, (AM) Troll, (CF) Kerr, (CF) Gulbranden and Ziwana starting; (GK) kane, (RB) Mitraille, (CB) Sophie, (CB) Boi, (LB) Ah Fok, (DM) Swedi, (CM) Al-Dossari, (CM) Casimir, (LW) Payen, (RW) Haqawi,(CF) Dimanche.
The atmosphere in the stadium was very tense, Ziwana and Trolleborg are reknown for their expressive fans. The Ziwani fans were geared up me yellow helmets, drums and the Ziwana national team replica jerseys. The trolleborg players had their faces, body painted in their teams colours, they had vuvuzelas. Both fans were competing who was the loudest and we must say Trolleborg seemed to be winning this one before the match as their fans often set up large camps in cities they are playing in. Their fans simply outnumbered the Ziwani fans but this did not discourage the Akambuku fans as they continued to beat their drums, dance and sing in praise of the Ziwani players.

As the match started, there was a clear sense of mutual respect between the two sides. Trolleborg were extremely dangerous in the opening minutes they were able to go past the Ziwani midfield and beating the defence as well. However they bottled their chances. It just wasn't Kerr's day. After a failed attack in the 20th minute, Ziwani goal keeper Jean Kane launched a counter attack by lauching the ball foward with Haqawi giving chase. Haqawi got the ball and found himeself one on one with Kerr the Trolleborg keeper, he easily chipped the ball over the keeper to put Ziwana into the lead. This goal seemed to motivate the Trolleborg players more than the Ziwani players. The Ziwani defence were unable to mark the Trolleborg fowards, giving them space to take shots on goal. Jonathan Boi seemed to be struggling the most as a central defender, he is a natural left back and he felt like a stranger in the CB position. The Ziwani failure to mark the Trolleborg players led to the Akambuku being punished in the 36th minute after Gulbranden scored from close range. A few minutes later Gulbranden was able to go past Boi and recieve the ball from a Finnsnes pass, however his shot on goal was saved by an exerllent Kane. The first half ended with no sign of a clear leader.

In the second half Jonathan Boi was substituted out for Jean Ranaivoson and Defensive mid Issa Swedi was replaced by Jean Gopaul. It seemed Harry Ngonamo wanted to tighten up the Ziwani defense. With the defense stronger the midfield players were able to move up front easily. This led to Ziwana putting more pressure on the Trolleborg defence. Trolleborg did not just lay down but fought back with counter attacks but the brilliant Jean Gopaul was able to clear the ball away. Around the 60th minute Charles Payen received the ball from a Jean Gopaul clearance, he quickly run down the left flank before crossing it into the penalty area were it was met by Joha Dimanche who chested the ball to control it before blasting it into the left side corner of the Trolleborg goal to put Ziwana in the lead. Trolleborg tried to produce a response in the 68th minute when Troger tried to head the ball into the Ziwani net from a Kolding corner kick but was denied by a Jean kane save. Trolleborg were relentless in trying to find an equalizer and were closer to it than Ziwana to a third goal, however Ngonamo's side refused to buckle. In the 72nd minute Johan Dimanche initiated a counter-attack and played the ball to Casimir before spriting foward and just receiving a return pass outside the Trolleborg penalty area. He quickly rifled a thundering shot past Kerr. This goal put Ziwana 2 up, this led to a thunderous roll as the Ziwani fans celebrated in joy. It felt like Ziwana had maybe just won the NS World Cup or something. 200 seconds later, Johan Dimanche got his 3rd goal of the game to round off the 4-1 scoreline.

After the game Ziwani Captain Charles Payen was quouted; "That was really an amazing game, it was a fantastic performance against a strong and experienced Trolleborg side. It must have been a jekyll and hyde match for the fans, nerve racking at certain points and exciting to watch at other points. Our last game gave us morale to be able to execute the managers instructions brilliantly in this game. Confidence and morale is at an all time high in the Ziwani squad and I believe in our next game against Kencana we will definately beat them, they are a weaker side in this group eitherways. My greatest hope and prayer is that Trolleborg will not dwell on this lose for long but recover and play good football against Belfitz. For Ziwana to quality for the round of 16 they need a Belfitz lose and we hope Trolleborg can send them home for us."

Ziwana are 3rd in the group and need to win against Kencana whilst praying for a Belfitz lose. As everyone crosses their fingers for a Ziwana qualification follow all news and matches about Ziwana on http://www.zcommsports.com.

Rise to the Top

Choudal - A breezing wind comes to Pemecutan and give a good result for them in their match against Otskarin. A thin win of 2-1 gives them a full 3 points and a lead in Group 2. Another advantage is they are one match short than Otskarin which is in the second place. The two goals from Pemecutan are commenced by Pandu Oka Jaya and Agus Kusumawijaya.

The next match, Pemecutan will possibly meet Cakra. Currently, Cakra is place last in the Group with 2 losses. Critics predicted that it will be an easy win for Pemecutan seeing the bad performance of their opponent. But coach Pramana always stated to his players to always stay focus. He also pointed out Surya Dwipayana performance which is quite mediocre. From 2 matches, Dwipayana never scored any goals despite his great performance in the league. His performance is even outshine by Agus Kusumawijaya who shockingly scored the first goal in their match against Otskarin. The goal that boost the players performance which equalize their position with Otskarin.

"I will always monitored his performance in the competition. He is quite the opposite when in the league. But if his performance continue to downturn maybe I will have to give him some rest," says Coach Pramana during their practice before the third match.

The third match as usual will be broadcast live by GBC and a rewind show will be broadcast at night.

Ziwana 3 - 0 Kencana: Akambuku beat Kencana in style to qualify for the Melayu Cup Quarter-Finals.

By Chosadziwa Botolo

ZCOMM Sport in Choudal

Ziwana begun the CMFA Melayu Cup in disgrace, the team had a lack of harmony and cohesion. However, in the past few games Akambuku have proven and enhanced their status as not only the favourites to win the Cup but also their status as the best footballing nation in the Melayu Archipelago.

Coming into this game every Ziwani player knew it was a must win match inorder to qualify. The match against the struggling Kencana who had lost every game in the group would always be an easy much. However, manager Harry Ngonamo said that Kencana was not to be taken lightly as " an injured beast is very dangerous". Although Kencana is no beast having struggled to win any game, everyone understood the managers words. Kencana wanting to save face would fight harder in the upcoming match. Another reason not to underestimate Kencana was their defensive style of football, it would be difficult to break down their defence if their players had their best game in the match. However, the Kencana players did not turn up with their best as shown by the scoreline.

On the day of the match the Ziwana lineup was pretty different, it featured some of the older players and younger players who had not played in the tournament yet notably Jean Wilder Junior who replaced Johan Dimanche as centre foward and Nicolas Bayaram who replaced Haqawi on the right wing. With the first whistle signaling the start of the game, the Ziwani players did not waste time but attacked immeadiately. This attack led to Luis Citorah giving the Melayu champions a 0.45 second lead with a superb 20 yard volley. Jean Wilder Junior missed a penalty in the 14 minute and so did Charles Payen in the 25 minute. Kencana had resolved to playing dirty with slide tackles, this led to a red card for Rafi Muhammad after he brought down Kawoa 14 yards out. Nicolas Bayaram took the free kick and scored to put Ziwana 2 up. The third goal came from a one on one shot in the 66th minute which Nicolas Bayaram quickly scored to put Ziwana 3 goals up. The game ended putting Ziwana at the top of the group to qualify for the quarter finals.

Next game for Ziwana is against Eraman. there is a 70% chance Ziwana will be able to send Eraman packing. To watch this happen tune in to the game by visiting www.zcommsports.com .

Sharktail continued the best run in the MAC 5 tournament. The speakers at the stadium in Southern Palm Island continued to resonate with the name Sharktail every time the team scored a goal. This is one of Sharktail's best records since the Cup of Harmony 77.

Since the end of the World Cup Qualification, Sharktail has failed to achieve the same achievements as WCQ and CoH. Starting from the Sporting World Cup and Di Bradini Cup, followed by the Independant Association Championship, all three ended in the group stage. Before the team starts their action in MA Cup 5, many expect another modest tournament. But Gaby and her friends prove this team still can stand in line with a strong team of Malay Archipelago example, Ziwana and eraman.

Going to play the third match against Tanah Jaya, many expect victory almost certainly belongs to Sharktail. Not to lower the standard of Tanah Jaya, but Sharktail is seen to be enthusiastic and persevering to continue their excellent rhythm. In this match, Kota Lama did not wait long after scoring the first goal from Nik Akif who received a pass from Yusri, a combination of the two main players of Kota Jambal. Before ending the first half, Sharktail managed to make things more comfortable for them. Due to a free kick from Gaby, Maqri head the ball into Tanah Jaya goal give the second goal for Sharktail. Going through a season that is quite good, getting a call to play with the national team, both of them will definitely make a player happy, but if he is able to score a goal, it is like a great joy for an attacking player. Ilias Rezal scored his first goal with the national team in the 73rd minute giving Sharktail a big 3-0 victory.

Sharktail will fave Choudal in the last group match. Let give it all and win. Choudal have been done great, so Sharktail have to prepare or they may end losing this match.

The Match That Lead The Way

---

---

Continued to the last Group match of Group 3, Acastanha is facing Eraman. It is quite a big deal when we have to face a football giant as Eraman. But shockingly, Acastanha able to defeated them by 2-1. Eraman was in controlled at the start of the match. They even scored first at the end of the first half. But following the second half, Acastanha play more aggressive which overwhelmed Eramanian players. Palavir break the wall for Acastanha to equalize their goal. And suddenly, Laddakar added another goal in minute 89. The score lasted until referee blow his whistle. And Acastanha win the match.

The result made Acastanha lead Group 3 and successfully advance to the Knockout Stage. It have been a tremendous journey for the team as they manage to win all 4 group matches. In the Quarter Final, they will be facing second place of Group 2, Belfitz. The veteran team also have a tremendous journey in this season of MAC. It is the first time that Belfitz (which previously known as South East United) advance to the Knockout Stage. They even outperformed Springmont which is more favorite to advance from the Group. Their win against defending champion, Ziwana, might become the spirit for them to get better.

In another Quarter Final, a tight match is likely to be seen when Ziwana will be facing Eraman. The two teams are known as the giant in Melayu football, Ziwana as the defending champion while Eraman as the best Melayuan nations in World Cup cycle. This quarterfinal match is the match of the day which will likely to attract more viewers. Besides these quarter final matches, the other groups (Group 1 and 2) will finished their last match today to determined who will advance to the Knockout Stage. By prediction, Choudal and Sharktail will likely to advance from Group 1 no matter how the result for Tolol is. While in Group 2 is quite tight. Pemecutan, Otskarin and Kayangan are still have a possibility to advance. Although Otskarin will only have to wait the match result between Pemecutan and Kayangan.

THE WHITE HORSE

Cakra 1-3 Kayangan
Cakra scorer: Frederik Newman
Kayangan scorer: Tengkolok Samperan, Lanti Laanting & Payung Garang Merbawi

As football nears its return to the new season, all points are focused on the test matches that many teams arrange to ensure the players are in the best condition. Not only the supporters, but also the league organizers, KAYANGAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE are also excited by uploading submissions regarding the schedule and results of the match on their social media.

As a result, much of the focus is on young talents playing for the Perlabuhan Suasapura Second. The players of this development club became so famous that they became the subject of conversation by people in the player's home state. Everyone knows that at Perlabuhan Suasapura, you do not have to be Suasapura-born to join the team. What is needed is talent and hard work as well as determination to grab the top eleven no matter what level.

Springmont-born, for example, Alf Tarrenwinds has become the talk of the town now after convincing action while competing in the Kayangan Football League. Credit should be given to him for daring to migrate to Perlabuhan Suasapura camp at a young age. He also awarded as the Best Foreign Player for this second edition. The same goes for the other young players who previously joined their respective club youth squads and eventually migrated to join Perlabuhan Suasapura. Despite playing in the Suasapura Second or Suasapura Youth squad, the exposure they received will further highlight their talents.

At Perlabuhan Suasapura, they do not have to worry about the lack of salary. They will also practice using state-of-the-art facilities and what is important is getting guidance from international coaches. Not to deny the ability of local coaches, but youth coaches from Springmont are more knowledgeable with the football development system.

For this reason, many young talents want to join Perlabuhan Suasapura. A good coach definitely wants his students to progress further instead of collapsing in their own country to be allowed to play without pay just for the badge on the chest. Nowadays in modern football, there is no term for a native or a local-borns.

Congratulations!

[Trolleborg]

Greetings, compatriots! It’s TTV from Choudal, right before the flight back to Trolleborg. As we all know, the brilliant victory over Kencana was just an episode, we played the decisive match of the Ziwana national team with a decent 1:2 score, although we could well have lost by much more humiliating score. After this, our players no longer had any chance at the tournament, but they were able to spoil the mood of Belfitz. In case of defeat, the opponents almost certainly did not get into the playoffs, and, perhaps, Springmont players is our most ardent supporters, having already played all of its matches in the tournament, their depending on the outcome of this game. On the field our team go no in the most optimal lineup. Apparently, the coach decided to let play and show himself to those whom the stars of our team usually outshine.

Unfortunately, in this match our guys again did not show the proper moral qualities and required strong will. Morten Troghil several times went out yelling at the players to the edge and gesticulated indignantly, surprised everyone accustomed to his composure and balance. But he did not get any result. There is no doubt that there will be serious conclusions, and maybe we will not see two or three players in the application list for WCQ86.

The score was opened already in the 10th minute, Troll shot from the approaches to the penalty area, Skaloed successfully put his foot changing ball direction, and the opponents' goalkeeper did not have time to react to this.

After a goal was scored, our team confidently controlled the course of the game. But the most experienced players made a mistake out of the blue. As a result, after not looking particularly dangerous longball, the opponent's player was abandoned unattended right in the goalkeeper's area and easily evened the score.

The goal scored by the opponents contradicted the logic of the game. It is always a shame to miss such balls, and the team, apparently, did not manage to overcome the resentment against themselves during the whole remaining time. Players' confidence in their abilities looked like completely disappear. After the break, the team game went completely wrong, and it did not come to real threats to the guests' goal. I remember only shots performed by Severin, who, as best he could, tried to prove his right to a place in the first team, but both were not dangerous.

So, we make a draw and back home. Maybe, Trolleborg return next year, having added this experience to that team already have. But it’s up to organizers.

As invited guest, I consider it necessary to say a few words at the end. Many thanks to the organizers, and especially I must commend their willingness to work on errors. But I also have a remark: yes, I understand that circumstances forced the tournament to be moved to a new venue, but still the lack of information about the stadiums, who is playing where, and the uncertainty about what Choudal is looked like as a country, does not look very good. But this is undoubtedly a fixable problem.

Also (unpleasant) surprise was the existence of a special regional ranking, in which I have 0 points, at the level of very beginner teams, although in international football Ziwana and Trolleborg are in the same weight category. If you are inviting someone else from the outside, give the guests a third or at least a quarter of their KPB points. RL German national team, for example, if it travels to Australia or Brazil jungles, altought having a penalty due to the climate and time lag, does not completely lose its experience and reputation.

For my part, I tried to do my best despite the problems in RL. I hope I did not disappoint hosts and justified my presence. If an invitation comes next season, I will participate. Good luck to all participants and organizers, see you soon!

In the second shock, the league champion, Perlabuhan Suasapura was defeated by another club from the Liga Kampung, Majlis Remaja 0-1 and ruined their hopes of chasing this championship for the first time.

Sahami wants his players to stay focused for the upcoming match. "The group stage is over. I praise the game shown by all the players. I myself do not know how to express it, just happy and like the pattern of play applied by this team. They succeeded in all the tactics I put together. I do not want to state that my tactics is the best but I just want to thank all the players.Now, the group stage competition is over, and I hope they can embody more action in the next match. Regarding the match against Choudal, my goal of resting the starting line-up does not mean that they will be selected for the next match later, but it is a plan to see the performance of other players. I remind all players, do not be comfortable with your position in the team because if you fail to stand out, you can be dropped from sqquad for the match or worse dropped directly from the national squad. I am used to facing such things. So I explain, even a star player, for me there is no star term if he does not perform well. I respect every player, so I ask them to also respect my every decision. As long as trust is given to me, I will do my best. "

SFA President, Tengku Muhammaed Hazim also congratulated Sahami and his men for their good performance so far. He hopes this team can go further. He also expects all players to maintain their performance as this is the last tournament before World Cup Qualification 86. He also reminded the players to take care of their every behavior, words and actions or they will be disciplined. He also reminded supporters not to repeat the commotion and vandalism perpetrated by Sharktail supporters at WCQ 85.

Semi-finals have already been decided. Sharktail will oppose Kayangan. Only one match to determine the championship, no reciprocal action, an important victory sought by all teams. Now the struggle is resumed, more bitter challenges await, come on Blue Army, Keep standing behind us, we need your support ...

Ziwana 3 - 2 Eraman: Eraman floored by thrilling Akambuku comeback in CMFA Melayu Cup Quarter-Finals.

By Chosadziwa Botolo

ZCOMM Sport in Southern Palm Islands

When the matchup between Ziwana versus Eraman was first announced for the quarter-finals, Akambuku fans were very excited with the match up. Eraman are a big footballing nation, they rank 57th in the multiverse and their clubs feature often in the IFCF Champions League. Ziwani football lovers have looked up to the Eramani football league system and national team in awe for a long time before the Akambuku joined multiverse and regional football. The match was going to be an honour for the Ziwani players and fans. Although Eraman is a strong footballing nation, Ziwana's quick passing counter-attacking styled football has led them to be a strong challenge not only in multiverse footballing events but also the Melayu Archipelago Cup.This was going to be Ziwana's 3rd quarter-final in the CMFA Cup, they had experience in this level of the tournament. Most bookies gave Ziwana a 70% chance of winning. Those chances did lower during the first half of the quarter-finals when Ziwana were two goals down by the half time. Luckily the Akambuku were inspired by new captain, Charles Payen to come back from two down at half time to claim a brilliant victory of Eraman.

Eraman had a dream start to the quarter-finals when the 32 year old physical striker, Buisan Buayan was able to get into a great goal scoring position before converting a Kilat Saputra cross. Kilat Saputra was impressive as alway being able to shake off Ziwani leftback Luis Citorah with his superhuman pace. The Eramani goal came within the first 15 minutes of the game. Ziwana ofcourse did not just lay down, they launched impressive attacks against Eramanians foreshadowing what was to come in the second half. The Eramani were saved only by their impressive goal keeper, Dundang Bayan with five saves. Dundang Bayan's save were testimony of his class as the best goalkeeper in Eraman. He had been previously dropped due to his disputes with the Eramani Football Association, his impressive performance on the day just sticked it up to the old men in his National Football Association. Luis Citorah the Western United leftback was unable to keep up with the speedster, Kilat Saputra and this led to Ziwana being punished as once again Buisan Buayan was able to convert a Saputra cross to put Eraman two goals up. Ziwana's defence on the day was simply attrocious. This is not the first time that the Ziwani defence has been criticized. Maybe the cost of playing umodzi,umodzi is a leaky defence, however tacticians all over Ziwana has disputed this saying that Ziwani defenders lack the ability to defend but to attack. This maybe true as Ziwani young defenders are taught to defend by attacking, this means Ziwana always plays with a high defensive line which sometimes leads to goals from long balls or crosses. Manager Harry Ngonamo seemed to be very furious on the touchline and at one point seemed to mouth off expletives at the players, at the moment captain seemed to be mouthing off the manager from the distance affirming the rumours that the relationship between Harry Ngonamo and Charles Payen is not the best at the moment. The Ngwazi of Ziwana, Her Majesty Aisha Amanji was in the stands and did not look too pleased. The half-time whistle ended the frustrating first half.

After the half time break, the Luis Citorah was replaced by Jonathan Ah Fok and Issa Swedi who hasn't had the best tournament was replaced by Jean Gopaul was defensive midfielder. In the second half, the Ziwani side attacked more trying to get a goal. The most impressive player was Ziwani captain Charles Payen who following his predecessors style would go back to get the ball when possesion was lost, he also help a lot in the attack by crossing the ball into the penalty area. However the Eramani defender Anton Mora was able to clear the ball before Dimanche would get to it. In the 68th minute Charles Payen decided to cut in outpacing Cicak Kudung and Badang Gangsa, before blasting the ball into the far right corner to reduce the goal deficit to one goal. A few minutes later whilst trying to mark Payen, Badang Gangsa got a hand. Johan Dimanche stepped up to take the penalty but Eramani keeper Dundang Bayan punched it out. Charles Payen quickly got to the ball and cheekily chipped the ball over an embarrased Dundang Bayan to equalize for Ziwana. This goal led to an uproar with Akambuku fans chanting the Captains name. Eraman became more aggressive after the goal, trying to win the game to get to the final but Jean Gopaul and Ziwani goalkeeper Jean Kane denied the Eramanians. In one of the attacks Eraman lost the ball after Charles Payen marked Rimau Belang, before launching the ball foward, Haqawi and Dimanche rushed foward to get to the ball and so did Kilat Saputra. Haqawi and Kilat Saputra got to the ball first. Saputra got the ball but before he could pass the ball, Haqawi pushed him off the ball before blasting it into the Eramani goal from 20 yards out in the 88th minute to give Ziwana the win.

The win meant that they were going to be playing in the Semi-Finals for the third time. It is quite an impressive achievement for Ziwana who had fought hard to get their. However, Ziwana will be facing group stage mate Belfitz who in their last encounter had beat the Akambuku. Ziwana is ofcourse the better team compared to Belfitz, however Belfitz has the mental advantage as the Ziwani team may still be affected by the embarrasing lose in the group stage. Ziwani fans hope that they may taste the Melayu CMFA Cup finals and the trophy once again and this can only be done if the Akambuku players can overcome this. The problems that happened due to the lose are still being seen even now as seen by Harry Ngonamo's relationship with Charles Payen.

The next match against Belfitz is a match to see. This match will be a payperview match at the cost of 68 Silivas (68 pounds). To watch this match visit www.zcommsports.com. Don't miss this match for anything, support the Akambuku and pay only 68 silivas to watch the semi-finals. Up Akambuku, Up !

Another Semi, Will It Be The Same?

Choudal - Pemecutan fans are overjoyed after the quarterfinal match in which they successfully defeated Choudal by 2-1. Pemecutan was loosing first after Choudal unsuspected goal in minute 33. Oka Jaya able to break the situation by equalize their goal in minute 62. Rama Karyadi completed the match by another goal in minute 79 and assured Pemecutan victory. This is the third time Pemecutan entry into Semi Final. An astounding accomplishment where they reach their 3rd semi in three consecutive time. But will they advance further after this?

Pemecutan have a bad record for semi final match. On their first attempt in semi match, they lost to Pauh Janggi which then become the winner of the third edition. The second semi, they also lost to the eventual winner, Ziwana. And in this third semifinal, they will be facing Sharktail which have a tremendous journey in international competition before the start of MAC. Sharktail advance to Semi Final after crushing Kayangan with 3-0. The match between Pemecutan and Sharktail will be the reply of 4th MAC quarter final match. In that match, Pemecutan able to defeated Sharktail by thin margin of 2-1. But Sharktail have change a lot in the recent times, domestically and internationally. Something that might need to be reconsider by Coach Pramana for Pemecutan to be able to reach their first final match.

"Sharktail is really something. The country have emerge as one of the new forces in Melayu football world. One thing that i'm sure is to upgrade our defense and likewise practice penalty. It is a knockout stage after all and penalty shoot out might happen anytime," says Coach Pramana.

Defeating Sharktail will be a hope for all Pemecutanian football fans. It will make their team advance to final and also break the nickname that attach to them because they always failing in the semi final and eventually losing the third match play off.
