JAKARTA - The North Sulawesi team won three points when they met the Aceh team in Group C of the men's soccer sport at the Barnabas Youwe Stadium, Sentani, Jayapura Regency, Tuesday.

Launching Antara, North Sulawesi managed to win the match 2-1 thanks to goals scored by Brayeen Pondaag and Maulana Mugama while Aceh's goals were scored by Muzakir.

In the first minutes of the match, the Aceh team took the initiative to attack by applying pressure several times to the defense area of North Sulawesi.

North Sulawesi was finally able to steal the advantage first through their captain Brayeen Pondaag who managed to take advantage of the chaos in front of Aceh's goal which made the score change to 1-0.

Left behind, Aceh continued to try, one of which was through their striker Muzakir but his shot still bounced over the North Sulawesi crossbar.

The goal that Aceh had been waiting for finally arrived in the final minutes of the first half through Muzakir who managed to score the ball into the North Sulawesi goal.

This goal from Muzakir in the end made the score 1-1 for Aceh and North Sulawesi which lasted until the first half was over.

In the second half, Aceh and North Sulawesi started the match with open play and each team managed to create chances.

Aceh in the early minutes of the first half managed to create opportunities through their wing lines, but no one responded to the bait in front of the North Sulawesi goal.

Furthermore, North Sulawesi tried to provide a threat but the kick from their player was still wide here on the right of the Aceh goal.

North Sulawesi again managed to take the lead over Aceh thanks to a goal scored by substitute Maulana Mugama using a vomit ball that was blocked by Aceh goalkeeper Kautsar Ramadhan which changed the score to 2-1.

Furthermore, the North Sulawesi team is scheduled to compete against East Kalimantan on Friday, October 1 at the Barnabas Youwe Stadium at 15:00 WIT.

On the other hand, Aceh is certain to win the WO because the Bengkulu team is not present at the XX Papua PON 2021 event.
