JAKARTA (JP): The All-Indonesia Football Association received
special kudos on its 65th anniversary when the national team for
the 18th Southeast Asian Games produced a 9-3 thrashing of
Persita Tangerang in its first tryout on Wednesday.

Arseto Solo's striker Rocky Putirai scored a hat trick for
Romano Matte's men during the one-sided match at the Senayan
stadium. Agung Setiabudi, Ansyari Lubis, Sudirman, Buyung Ismu
and Yudi Guntara struck a goal each.

Amateur side Persita earned three consolation goals through
Sari Koswara who scored twice and Recky Selfisburger once.

"I'm quite satisfied with the result. My players took the
match seriously," Italian coach Matte said. (amd)
