Recent Form: W-L-W-D-L

Makassar’s Red Fish fell to hardfought 3-2 loss against Dewa United last week in a five-goal thriller that kept fans, punters and critics on the edges of their seats throughout the game. Makassar’s initial 3 minute lead (courtesy of V.Dethan) was quickly overturned by Alex’s 20th minute equaliser. The 1-1 scoreline didn't last long before being updated to a 2-1 lead for Makassar, giving them victory in the first half. However, the tides changed in the second half with the opposition capitalising on a two-goal rampage, tipping the scales back to their favour, and running off with a hattrick for their star man, Alex.

Makassar returned to the pitch in desperation to sweep memories of the loss, despite a rigorous exhibition that yielded vanity. Currently, they have gone two wins, two losses and one stalemate in five recent games, perching on the eighth branch of the league tree, depending on the outcome of this challenge.
