Persik terus berusaha menggedor pertahanan SFC. Namun, absennya beberapa pemain termasuk Faris Aditama yang menyumbang gol ketika Persik mengalahkan SFC 5-1 di Kediri, membuat serangan Ngon Mamoun dan kawan-kawan kandas.

SFC menambah gol lewat Syakir setelah pemain muda ini memanfaatkan assist brilian Lancine Kone yang mengelabui dua pemain belakang Persik. Hingga babak pertama, Sriwijaya FC tetap unggul 2-0 atas tamunya Persik Kediri.

Memasuki babak kedua, baik SFC maupun Persik terlibat jual beli serangan. Beberapa peluang tercipta bagi kedua tim. Namun, Laskar Wong Kito lebih mendominasi permainan.

Sejumlah peluang didapat Skuad SFC. Namun gagal dikonversi menjadi gol. Anis Nabar yang berhasil mengecoh penjaga gawang Persik, gagal memanfaatkan peluang setelah tembakannya berhasil diblok pemain belakang lawan.

Begitu juga Syakir gagal menambah pundi-pundi golnya setelah tembakannya di kotak penalti melambung jauh di atas mistar gawang. Lacine Kone juga beberapa kali gagal memanfaatkan peluang.

Persik sendiri bukan tanpa peluang di babak kedua. Beberapa kali tembakan anak-anak Macan Putih berhasil diamankan Pauzi Toldo. Hingga pertandingan usai, Larkar Wong Kito tetap unggul 2-0 atas Persik.

“There were times when we had to dig into our own pocket so the work didn’t stop. We were willing to sacrifice because we knew this was for the nation.”

Concerns over Indonesia’s readiness have led some House of Representatives lawmakers to suggest postponing the Games, but Endang rejected the notion.

Ampera Bridge is the landmark of the city of Palembang and Sumatera Selatan province. According to the history, the construction of this motion bridge began in April 1962. After the approval from President Soekarno, this 1.177 meter long bridge with a width of 22 meters, was named “Jembatan.” The formal ceremony was done in 1965; it was also the confirmation of using Bung Karno’s name as the bridge’s name. However, there was a political upheaval in the year of 1966. The anti-Soekarno movement was so powerful that the name of the bridge was changed to “Ampera.” The architecture technique used was brilliant. The centre of the bridge could be lifted to facilitate the water transportation. Eventually, all the lifting process had to be put to an end due to the age of the bridge. From time to time, a lot of changes have been made. With all the colourful lighting, today, this bridge is more organized and more beautiful than ever. No wonder more and more tourists are coming to visit Ampera.

BENTENG KUTO BESAK | KUTO BESAK FORTRESS


Benteng Kuto Besak (Fortress Kuto Besak) was built on the idea of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I (1776-1803). The development began in 1780 and completed in 1797. Generally, this building measuring 288,75 meters long, 183,75 meters wide, 6,20 meters high walls, 1,99 meters of walls thickness. Benteng Kuto Besak was used as a palace and as a protection against the Dutch colonialist. At the time of its construction, Benteng Kuto Besak was surrounded by many rivers, such as Musi River, Tengkuruk River, Sekanak River, and Kapuran River. However, today, Tengkuruk River and Kapuran River are no longer exist because the Dutch decided to pile the river up. The location of this fortress is very strategic because it coexists with Ampera Bridge and stands on the bank of Musi River.

MASJID AGUNG | AGUNG MOSQUE


Agung Mosque, located in the downtown, is a legacy of the Sultanate of Palembang. This mosque was built in 1738 and completed in 1748 by Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I, also known as Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Jaya Wikramo. At first, the size of the building was 1080 square meters with the capacity of 1200 persons.
