When everyone from the players, coaches, and fans who watched thought it would end in a penalty shootout but it was broken by Raka.

Maung Raja players are tired as well as Persikota players. They just held onto the waist while pitting his head some also lowered their heads covering the face.

They were already trying hard to catch the score but this time it was a crushing blow. They were unable to counterattack with only time left.

Referee Hariadi blew his whistle after Persikota did a kick-off. Victory for Maung Raja for the first time in their history after the club was formed.

In January, just today they managed to win the league 3 which is also promotion to league 2.

Beto along with the rest of the substitutes rushed to the field to join the rest of the players celebrating their victory.

They lined up one line under the tribune of Maung Raja supporters were located. Cahyo who was just watching from the stands also came down to join the march. He is happy that their club is promoted but there are also glimpses of regret at not being able to participate in the final.

A fan dressed in a Simba costume was also dragged by Faiz to join the line. Together with the fans they sang to celebrate the victory.

Some time ago and league organizers had set up a stage on the pitch. Maung Raja players consecutively receive medals followed by Persikota players afterwards.

The medal was distributed by representatives of the Indonesian football governing body, PSSI. In addition, it was also given several other awards such as top scorer, top assist, and the most cleansheet.

Top scorer was achieved by Arif because Alan failed to overtake, top assist was obtained by Raka, and a clean sheet obtained by the goalkeeper from the Belitong club.

Immediately after the distribution of the award all Maung Raja players immediately went up on stage and raised the trophy to take pictures together.

Gelora Bung Karno Stadium which has a capacity that is quite spacious feels very quiet because only Maung Raja supporters and some Persikota supporters are still watching.

Throughout the 3rd league in progress, Raka has made brilliant statistics. In his first year he actually entered the competition he has scored 4 goals and 13 assists.

Raka is very happy because her hard work has yielded some results. He can't wait for them to fight in League 2. Look forward to a strong opponent to make himself grow.

The euphoria of a 3rd league win has been completed after players return home. They celebrated with a meal together which was financed by the club owner.

Although the match had just ended already many sports media focusing on the course of the 3rd league made the news. So that the news has circulated throughout the archipelago.

Raka threw herself in the bed and opened her phone. There have been many missed messages and calls. Some of his friends in Persija also had messages from his parents. His best friend Aji also congratulated after hearing the news of Maung Raja's victory.

Aji has also successfully made his debut with Persija against Barito Putera. Aji wants to invite Raka to watch but she can't because the time is the same when they go to Maluku against Persihasel.

Raka replied to the incoming messages one by one.

"Good job, son, sorry I haven't been able to watch your game until now"

"Don't worry about me, now it's twelve o'clock in the night, which means it's two in the morning. You will be busy working."

"My son is an adult now, starting to pay attention to his father."

The conversation between father and son ended briefly. To be honest, it has been a long time since Raka had seen her parents. Hendro is currently working in Korea because the company he works for sent Hendro as head of branch there and his mother followed to accompany him.

Although Hendro is busy with his work he will still take the time to open his phone and look for news articles about Indonesian football league 3. Through it he is quite up to date with Raka's condition.

At first Raka was also invited to come to Korea but he refused which made his mother go to Korea with a fury mixed with worry. Back then he had just been transferred from Persija's young training to training with the main squad.

The next day Raka left for the training ground to listen to the final instructions from Handoko. He happened to cross paths with Alan who nodded his head as a greeting. Competing together has made Alan not as cold and arrogant as they had initially met.

The reason was that Raka's ability had been recognized by Alan. Raka has also passed the ball to Alan who helped him score. So there's no reason for Alan to keep ignoring Raka, an important teammate.

Handoko just delivered the message that they will meet again in the next four months to prepare for pre-season training. Of course some players will leave and some new players appear.

Maung Raja will be in time for a major overhaul. They will also do a revamp in the stadium to increase the capacity of the audience. The management has prepared a large amount of budget for Handoko to form a club that can compete in league 2.

Some players will also be released but only wait for news three months ahead when the transfer window opens. All the players signed new contracts in July so it is not too late for the club to renew.

After Handoko said that, the manager and the club's owners came to congratulate him on his hard work and good results. As per his promise, the owner of the club immediately transfers the bonus and also the one written in the contract is awarded.

This made the room filled with smiles.

The meeting was quickly over, after the talk of pleasantries all immediately went to do their own plans. For the next four months Raka already has her own plan.

He will focus on training in the morning and in the afternoon he will do his duty as a student to study. For that he is currently not back home but going to university.

Last semester he applied for leave because he was still confused about his football career. Now that he has finished the league and coincided with the start of the new semester so he sends an active submission letter again on campus.

Currently the degree is very important for Indonesian residents to find work. Ironically, many graduates with degrees are still unemployed. But graduating as a scholar and looking for a good job is clearly reflected in the minds of the people of Indonesia.

Even the club also suggests for young players to continue their studies while playing football. This is done so that young players whose football career is not good enough can still move on and get a job.

To be honest Raka was a bit reluctant to continue college even she had completely forgotten the learning material, but her father Hendro also demanded to finish his studies.

He also did not have many friends on campus because the class he chose was a class for workers so that the average class was much older than him. This is what makes him so lazy to continue college.

Raka's college life begins again.
