Charles Lokolingoy’s Brace Takes Singo Crazy to the Final
Surakarta, Todaysgist.com – Arema FC has secured their place in the 2024 President’s Cup final, after defeating the host Persis Solo 2-0 in the semifinals held at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Wednesday (31/7/2024). The two winning goals were scored by Australian striker Charles Lokolingoy who scored brace.
Singo Edan, the nickname for Arema FC, will meet Borneo FC who have secured their place in the final after defeating Persija with a score of 2-1 on Tuesday (30/7/2024).
The match between Persis Solo and Arema FC took place with high intensity. Arema FC immediately appeared on the attack, testing Persis Solo’s defense.
The first chance came from Charles Lokolingoy’s header in the 15th minute. The ball still deviated from Persis Solo’s goal guarded by M Riyandi.
Not long after, Persis Solo also got a golden opportunity. In the 18th minute, Sutanto Tan’s shot almost broke through Arema FC’s goal, but the ball still missed the crossbar guarded by Lucas Frigeri by a hair.
Drama happened in the 23rd minute when Ramadhan Sananta managed to score a goal for Persis Solo, but unfortunately the goal was disallowed because Sananta was in an offside position before receiving a pass from Moussa Sidibe. Both teams’ efforts to score a goal continued until the end of the first half, but no goals were scored.
A new goal was created in the second half, precisely in the 59th minute. Taking advantage of Riyandi’s blunder, Lokolingoy successfully stole the ball and put the ball into the empty net.
Persis Solo tried to rise and catch up. However, Arema’s solid defense that played more pragmatically seemed to fail to be penetrated by Sananta et al.
While busy attacking, Arema was able to score a second goal. Again starting from a blunder by Persis Solo’s defender, Arema who stole the ball from the middle of the field started the transition well.
The ball was sent to Dalberto who broke through the left side of Persis’ defense. Dalberto then sent the ball to Lokolingoy who was in the penalty box who then beat Riyandi in a one-on-one situation.
Although Persis Solo tried to reduce the score, no other goals were scored in the match. Arema is entitled to advance to the final round of the pre-season tournament.
