Before entering Gelora Bung Karno stadium, we looked at the bus that took Indonesian football players. Then, we followed that bus to the main entrance. I found that Bambang Pamugkas left from the bus. When we wanted to get close to Bambang Pamungkas, a security guard held me back. But, I thought that the security guard was familiar. It was my old friend, Budi. After that, he let me in, finally, I could meet Bambang Pamungkas and got his signature.

Next, I went back to my seat at the stadium and the match just began. It was an amazing day and a good match.
