Medan went back to the top after a comfy victory over Bireuen in front of another paltry crowd. 5,000 for the team top of the league? What's that all about? Sinaga scored either side of half time for the fanless North Sumatrans. Semarang continue to struggle and now lie 10th 6 points off a Big 4 place. Gonzalez sparkled for Kediri, going close on a couple of occassions in the opening minutes at Lebuk Bulus but a cracking shot from Izmet Sofyan from something like 35 yards (Top Corner!!!) gave the Jak the lead. Bambang scored a second but a goal from Kediri was little more than consolation for the dozens of Persikmania who had made the trip.

Group 2

Makassar v Manokwari 2-0 12,000
Persibom v Balikpapan 2-1 6,000
Manado v Botang 1-0 12,000
Sidoarjo v Pasaruan Division 1-1 18,000
Yogyakarta v Arema Malang 2-0 8,000

1. Makassar 11 7 2 2 13-5 23
2. Jayapura 9 5 1 3 15-9 16
3. Sidoarjo 10 4 4 2 15-9 16
4. Wamena 9 4 3 2 13-7 15

Two of Indonesia's traditional clubs find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Surabaya and Arema Malang are in the bottom 4 at the moment though Surabaya fans may point out they have 2 games in hand on most teams and should they win them they would climb to 6th. Sidoarjo remain handily placed in 3rd but consecutive home draws cost them the chance to put some daylight between themselves and the clutch of clubs on 15 and 16 points. Christopher Wreh got booked as Manokwari cemented bottom spot with another away defeat. 0 goals in 5 games on the road for the Papuans!

Top scorers:

7 - Hita (Malang), Pronetto (Deltras)
6 - Aliyudin (Jakarta), Anazco (Deli Serdang), Trinidad (Balikpapan)
