Pidie – The ZF84 Cup Trofeo Tournament (named after Zulfazli SE, MM) concluded in a blaze of excitement and surprising results. Held at the GS Minisoccer Sigli Field on Friday night, October 10, 2025, the tournament crowned Cahaya Intan Team as the champion after they edged out their closest rival, CV Makmur Mila, on goal difference.
Both teams finished with an impressive 7 points from four matches. However, Cahaya Intan secured the title thanks to superior goal productivity, netting 7 goals compared to Makmur Mila's 4.
The trofeo, which featured five teams—Wacanda FC, Amuk Kupi, CV Makmur Mila, Cahaya Intan, and the host team ZF84—delivered thrilling matches right from the opening whistle.
Slow Start, Powerful Comeback
The opening match pitted Cahaya Intan against CV Makmur Mila. It was a tight affair, but a solitary goal from captain Pon proved to be the difference, handing Makmur Mila a crucial 1–0 victory.
The early setback spurred Cahaya Intan into action. Led by Zidan and his teammates, they staged a remarkable comeback in the subsequent matches, first dismantling Wacanda FC with a convincing 3–0 scoreline. This positive momentum continued as they then silenced the host team, ZF84, also with a 3–0 win, putting them firmly back in the title contention.
In the final, decisive match, Cahaya Intan managed a 1–1 draw against Amuk Kupi. This result was ultimately enough to secure the championship title due to their superior goal difference over their main rival, CV Makmur Mila.
CV Makmur Mila, despite their consistent performance, had to settle for the runner-up spot, followed by Amuk Kupi in third place. Wacanda FC took the fourth position, while ZF84 finished at the bottom of the table, even after achieving a sweet victory in their final game.
Zulfazli's Spectacular Strike Goes Viral
The most captivating moment of the tournament occurred during the final match between ZF84 and Wacanda FC. ZF84 President, Zulfazli SE, MM, delivered an impressive performance by scoring two world-class goals.
First, he calmly slotted home a penalty kick after a Wacanda player committed a handball in the box. Not content with that, Zulfazli scored a truly spectacular goal moments later with a lethal curling shot that was untouchable for goalkeeper Safuadi Mane. The ball sailed beautifully into the top corner, sending the spectators into rapturous applause.
The 2–0 victory provided a well-deserved consolation for ZF84, ending their earlier streak of three consecutive defeats.
ZF84: A Star-Studded Team Awaiting Its Luck
Despite finishing last, ZF84 remained one of the most exciting teams in the tournament. Their squad featured several talented players, including Faris Ronaldo, Edo, Jamhur, Rizal, Boriel, Harmadi LW, Rijal Ali, Herman, and Kamarullah—names known for their high technical ability and experience on the pitch.
Unfortunately, the combination of stars failed to deliver maximum results. In their first three games, they struggled to find their rhythm, often losing focus in defense and lacking sharpness in front of the goal. Nevertheless, their final match win signaled great potential for ZF84 to be a strong contender in future events if they can maintain their newfound solidity.
ZF84 President: "Sportsmanship is More Important Than the Title"
After the tournament, ZF84 President, Zulfazli SE, MM, personally presented the championship trophy to the Cahaya Intan team. He praised the spirit and sportsmanship of all participants for making the tournament a lively event full of camaraderie.
"Congratulations to the Cahaya Intan Team on their brilliant achievement. But more importantly, this Trofeo serves as a gathering place for football lovers in Pidie," Zulfazli stated.
